Comments:

Swim was awesome. My open water swim training that I started a month before really helped.

I even got ran over by the same guy 2 times on the way back in and stayed relaxed. The gas from all the boats was a little overwhelming.
What would you do differently?:

Give Mr. Zig-zag a little shove. :)
Transition 1
  • 03m 14s
Comments:

Felt excellent after the swim. Cut 45 seconds from last years T1 time. Probably because I was acually breathing during the swim this year.
What would you do differently?:

Try to get out of T1 a little quicker.

The bike portion was alright. Most of the people that were passing me were using areobars. I need to upgrade soon. I cut almost 4 minutes from last years time.
What would you do differently?:

aerobars
Transition 2
  • 02m 28s
Comments:

One of my feet got stuck in my shoes right on the dismount line. Almost went over but hung in there. Looked stupid but not as stupid if I would have fell. right?
What would you do differently?:

Put my feet on top of my shoes instead of just unstrapping them.
Run
  • 32m 32s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 10m 28s  min/mile
Comments:

Worst part of the tri right here. Cramps in my quads for the last mile. My running sucks.
What would you do differently?:

Do some more brick workout with some longer mileage to prepare the running legs.
Post race
Warm down:

lots of bannanas and fluids.

Event comments:

Last year I finished in 1:41 and 1:37 this year which was slowed because of my run. Next year I will finish mid 1:20's
