Swim
Comments: sighting seemed to go well until the turn, after that had some issues but it might of been due more to current and ebb tide. This was my first swim with a speed suit. Man is it tight, really tight! What would you do differently?: not sure, I thought I did everything right. Transition 1
Comments: went well, everything went on quick and easy. not fun having to bag everything but not bad. What would you do differently?: nothing Bike
Comments: Had a great ride, I crushed the hill that have caused me issues on training rides. my watts were a lot lower than expected during the first hour of the ride but the effort felt perfect. gearing was all but perfect. Loved the fact I had a group of guys who we kept playing tag with that by the time we hit Jolly Pond I dropped them all. after the turn on Monticello, it was a long as ride. thought it would never end. What would you do differently?: not much if anything Transition 2
Comments: great, one of my fastest Run
Comments: started off great. I was hitting my mile pace averages all the way to mile 5. Mile 6 it got a little rough and from there on it just slowly go worse. I had a few miles there were I was able to drop a gear and get some of my speed back. after the last trip up the long s turn of hill it started to hurt. the flat section I could not pick up the pace. by the time I got back to last leg I was toast, there was not much left heading into the finish line What would you do differently?: not sure what to do better other than train harder and on hills. the heat really didn't get me just those darn hills. Post race
Warm down: plan was to do a 10 minute run but I tried and just couldn't. I walked around a lot. What limited your ability to perform faster: current on the swim and hills on the run. I just need to train harder for the run. Event comments: Overall ok, wish they would of listen to us about the current but than again it always can't be easy. There were some logistic issues with the transition bags. I am looking forward to doing this race again Last updated: 2012-11-11 12:00 AM
