Swim
  • 10m 33s
  • 900 yards
  • 01m 10s / 100 yards
Comments:

Water was choppy.
What would you do differently?:

Quick run out to transition and dip feet, prior to putting on my shoes.
Transition 1
  • 05m 12s
Comments:

Transition time includes an extended run to the transition area. The one thing that STINKS about this race is the long run on gravel and old pavement.Last year when I did this race I ran to T1 barefoot. This would save me time from screwing around with my shoes, but I was able to run faster with my shoes on. It is STUPID that they don't put a carpet down or something, so contestants don't have to run on the rocky surface.

Comments:

I think I did an awesome time in T2.
What would you do differently?:

I want to learn how to put on and take off my shoes while riding.

  • 3.1 miles

Comments:

I was parched on the run - the hydration station was like half way through the run, not the same place it was last year.
What would you do differently?:

Bring a hydration pack.
Post race
Warm down:

Just walked around.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I was really dehydrated during my run.

Event comments:

I have decided that the longer the distance, the more I push myself.
