 Swim
Comments: 6 seconds off first in AG... swim felt good, had good glide and strong stroke. Passed first two people in front of me before 50M mark, ended up passing about 6 more people... What would you do differently?: Be 6 seconds faster...  Transition 1
Comments: Had a good rack position right by swim exit. Was trying to move fast - skipped the socks and got rolling! What would you do differently?: run faster through transition!  Bike
Comments: wind in face a bit after coming out on to John King. Small rollers into the wind. Made the u turn and tried to turn it up. Got good speed on the long leg to the other end of John King. Turned and it was back into the wind with a couple of hills. Passed a few, passed some. Much better performance with the Garmin working again! What would you do differently?: Do some interval work! Transition 2
Comments: In, rack bike, get socks out. change mind, skip socks. fiddle with garmin wrist strap, decide I can fiddle with it and run at the same time... off I go... hope skipping socks wasn't a bad idea... What would you do differently?: think clearer and just go...  Run
Comments: Ughh... I feel being out of running shape on this one... did some run / walk. Finally got into my mind that if I was going to run /walk then I might as well run fast - after the turn, I started to run 8 min/mile pace when I was running and would run until I couldn't breath... walk until I could catch my breath and take off again... probably not the best strategy, but I got me over the finish line.... it started drizzling when I had about a half a mile left... What would you do differently?: pick a pace and stick with it... Post race
Warm down: what's a warm down? I just doubled over trying to breathe.... vanilla frozen custard helped too... walked around a bit and then the downpour started... I thought my transition bag was going to float away... What limited your ability to perform faster: lack of consistent training... Event comments: This is one of Jack's better races...

Up too early - had two pieces of toast with honey and coffee - drove to event. I was the first person in transition... set up, had a banana and then hung out with other racers for an hour and half....
Ran a mile or so...
