 Swim
Comments: Started with teammate Rupp, had a good run start in, and got after it. Swim felt fast, didnt draft, just tried passing everyone-hurry-its a sprint! What would you do differently?: Go even faster, stay tighter to the buoys-felt that on the way out I was swimming too wide.  Transition 1
Comments: SPRINTED to bike-gotta make my rule#1!!! Found, helmet, RUN!!! mount line and gogogogogo. I tried getting past this guy mounting with me but he just barely got me at the incline--IE the no passing zone-ugh!!! What would you do differently?: faster mount to beat those at the line.  Bike
Comments: Once I passed the mount line blocker I was off and pushing. Had a bet iwth a friend to beat last years speed-23.4--long story short-got it 24.2! Great ride, pushed and pushed hard. Only had on eissue with rider making a pass, taking too long. He made me go 3 wide and then slowed to make a turn-we did it shoulder to shoulder-then I left him too. What would you do differently?: Nothing really, turning out to be a complete race. Transition 2
Comments: UGH-there goes the complete race. Missed my spot by 10 bikes-NOOB! shoes went on quick-no socks and body glide. broke my rule#1 What would you do differently?: hindsight--wear socks-wear different shoes.  Run
Comments: Love this run. The baby rollers wake your legs pretty fast, the shaded course is awesome and beautiful, the winding trail keeps you focused. The out and back keeps you honest with chasers. Stupidly ran barefoot for the FRIST time in the particular shoes-MISTAKE. 1/2 mile heel/achilles pain, 1 mile I know theyre bleeding. 1.5 mile arch pain, 2 mile I know theyre bleeding. 2.5 to finish all Im saying is HTFU and get to the finish to get the damn shoes off!!!! Fastest run on this course for me--10 cuts/bleeding spots will do that I guess. What would you do differently?: Change shoes Post race
Warm down: Teammates Baby girl Family Pics-and holy crap-AWARDS. I never place here-3rd a/g Cheering on al kinds of people till ceremony. Pizza and drink. What limited your ability to perform faster: lost bike spot in T2 blocker in no passing zone blocker on course feet killing me mental Event comments: Seems like there was more of an "expo"/tent set-up last year. Spectators arent "allowed" food but theres nothing else for them. Mix 1 samples, other vendors-sell the pizza too etc...? Love this race! Love the volunteers, police, and club putting it on! Repeat racer and will be back! Last updated: 2012-08-27 12:00 AM
