 Swim
Comments: much improved over my last Oly swim; water was murky, but not bad, no appreciable current What would you do differently?: need new goggles! I hung to the back since it was a larger wave - should have been more to the front and out on the side - would have had a better first 200m - it took a while to get past some of the swimmers and get into a good rhythm  Transition 1
Comments: decent run from the swim exit to the bike, which probably added some time. But I had everything laid out and ready to go - total time actually switching from swim to bike was probably 1:30... What would you do differently?: nothing  Bike
Comments: really liked this ride, the hills were challenging at times, and easy at others - a true rolling course. It also seemed really fast - I hit the 15m point at 48 minutes (normally, I would hit it at closer to the 60 minute point). What would you do differently?: do some more hill training Transition 2
What would you do differently?: nothing  Run
Comments: run started out on an uphill - so I ran the first part, then walked a bit which helped, no major muscle cramps coming off the bike; stuck with my run/walk routine through the race What would you do differently?: reduce time walking a little bit - I needed to do better at setting places to run/walk after my breaks, and walking mroe with a purpose - I started to meander a bit in places; but this was a significant improvement over my last run in a race Post race
Warm down: stretching following the race, and lite walk/jog Event comments: Set-Up Events always does a great job - well manned aid stations and lots of volunteers to help Last updated: 2013-07-11 12:00 AM

Because money is a bit tight right now and the race was only 65 miles away, I opted to drive in the morning of - the 9am start really helped with that - normally i'm not a ran of later ones, but in this instance it worked well
breakfast was Oatmeal eaten while driving in - so my body had time to process it - I arrived at the race site at 7am, so had 2 hours to get prepared
was wavering between wearing wetsuit and not, so jumped in the lake without and decided it was warm enough...
warm-up including walking route from water exit to bike without glasses (since blind as bat without them), and a lite swim
