Swim
Comments: swim felt good, better than first tri of the year. Goggles were fogging so had to stop and rinse them 3x, kept the effort comfortable What would you do differently?: maybe time for new goggles Transition 1
Comments: suit stuck on heels briefly, other than that, no major issues, T1 rank 29 What would you do differently?: not sure what I could do, timing chip was in the way, a little bulky Bike
Comments: one of my best bike segments, was able to stay in aerobars, also the high miles I've been putting in helped keep it comfortable, this was the highest pace I've been able to sustain What would you do differently?: not too much, one of my better bike segments at Olympic distance Transition 2
Comments: someone on my rack before me kind of messed up the area and racked in my spot and moved my shoes, was able to deal with it, rack OK and get moving, T2 added to run for official time, I calculated 1:23 What would you do differently?: not much, took a gel at transition exit Run
Comments: first 2-3 miles felt good, fairly hard, would have preferred 6:30 pace, took a gel at the beginning and at mile 3, stopped for water at the beginning, bridge turns and beginning of the second lap, was able to sustain the pace for the entire run for the most part, solid run What would you do differently?: not much, wanted to go a few seconds faster but it felt OK, effort was hard Post race
Warm down: walked, drank propel they had on hand, bagel, banana, power bar recovery, talked to friend who finished 5th overall What limited your ability to perform faster: goggles on swim, a tad in transition, bike and run felt solid enough for me Event comments: events ran about 30 mins late, could have used one more drink station, nice they had pancakes at the end, overall I always enjoy this race, it is fast, this is my fifth year in a row, always nice to get an age group award Last updated: 2013-05-11 12:00 AM
