Pre-race routine:

Got there late, barely got a parking spot as usual. Not enough time in transition so I wasn't set up properly.

None

My best swim ever, it wasn't great but it works for me.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing besides train more.
Transition 1
  • 05m 54s
Comments:

Not enough time setting up transition. Salt, Gu, Sun tan lotion all still in bad. The ice idea worked well though.
What would you do differently?:

Set up things with a purpose
Bike
  • 2h 51m 12s
  • 56 miles
  • 19.55 mile/hr
Comments:

This bike was brutal in terms of hills. I went out too strong but held the pace. This caught up with me the second half of the run. I hit 47 MPH on the downhill sections.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe 1/2 mph slower on the course, 7-10 BPM less on heart rate.
Transition 2
  • 01m 28s
Comments:

T2 went a lot better than T1. I was in and out pretty quickly.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Run
  • 2h 09m 33s
  • 13.1 miles
  • 09m 52s  min/mile
Comments:

The run was hot, I went out too hard on the bike. Would like to see the HR 5-10 less for the beginning. I held on till about 6 then it was run / walk.
What would you do differently?:

Not much I could do, needed a bit more water in me.
Post race
Warm down:

Layed down on the ground confused for a bit.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The heat and went out too fast on the bike and run

Event comments:

REV3 did a bang up job. The cool towel at the end was awesome. The course was pretty brutal but I knew that going in. Could have done without the oppressive heat but that stuff happens.
