Swim
What would you do differently?: I need to swim a little harder, I didn't feel like I put any real effort into the swim. Transition 1
What would you do differently?: Next time I'll dry off my legs before I put on my socks. Bike
Comments: I was passed by only a few people, but that could have been because I was such a slow swimmer. The course was so flat, I think most people over did it on the bike. What would you do differently?: I ran very well, so maybe I could have gone a little faster on the bike and ran at the same pace. Transition 2
What would you do differently?: I forgot to take off my gloves. Run
Comments: My run was great. Last year I completly fell apart in the heat. This year I did a much better job keeping cool. I ran the whole race and was able to build speed throughout. My last 3 miles were my fastest. What would you do differently?: Start picking it up a little sooner, I just didn't know if I would make it. Post race
Warm down: Sat with my family and waited for others to come in. I drank a recovery drink. What limited your ability to perform faster: My swim. I had no problem with the distance, just no confidence to work hard during the swim. I still have no sence of pacing during the swim. Event comments: The buoys weren't even in the water when the race was supposed to start. Only 2 volunteers at the Bike aid station, I stopped just to make sure I got what I needed. No gels at the bike aid station. The run was very well supported. Last updated: 2012-08-28 12:00 AM

Woke up at 4:25. Had a rice pudding and some honeystinger waffles for breakfast. Left the hotel, set up the transition area, picked up timing chip, then went to find a restroom.
I swam about 200yds, then just stayed in the water until my wave started.
