Run
Comments: The trail was very rough. I just kept thinking it will be over soon. I was happy with my achilles and knee. NO PAIN. What would you do differently?: Pushed a little harder on the flat areas. Maybe trail shoes. The rocks tore my road shoes up. Transition 1
Comments: I suck What would you do differently?: Get faster Bike
Comments: I felt great. I passed a ton of people. I had over 24 miles on my piece of $h!t bike monitor. (hint for wife on garman for xmas) What would you do differently?: I should have pushed harder Transition 2
Run
Comments: Man I was tired. I saw the lady in the elf suit and Don. We cheered each other on. It was tough. Everyone was smiling and cheering each other. Before I knew it I was at the end. What would you do differently?: Nothing Post race
Warm down: Great after race. Met Don and many other race participants. Good amount of Houston folks at this race. Had grapes, tea. The sausage wraps were excellent. A little disappointed in my 5th place finish. But I did the best I could, some great triathletes in my AG. What limited your ability to perform faster: Trail run, too worried about getting hurt. Event comments: Redemption does a great job. I compete in at least three of their races each year. Last updated: 2012-12-11 12:00 AM

Got up at 400. Really looking forward to race. I am almost fully healed from achilles and knee. Ate some bars, apples, oranges and pop tart. Missed exit and had to get off go down access road, got pulled over by police, no ticket only warning. Cop warned me about 3009 and told me they patrol that road frequently.
Got to race. Registered. Man it was humid. I am talking Houston humid.
I racked bike set up shoes, helmut, drink, towel. I put glasses back in pack it was misty. Went down to pre race meeting. As usual Brian was lecturing about safety, but he is right, I always feel safe during his events. Went down in cave for timed start.
