Swim
Comments: Went off 8th because of no shows. I passed 2 people during the swim. I struggled in the pass crossing under pool lanes but did a really good job of it this year. What would you do differently?: Nothing Transition 1
Comments: Only problem was a bit slow to get the suit off, I dunked my feet to get them clean and started to put bike shies on but I still had my nineteen frequency on. What would you do differently?: Smoother transition Bike
Comments: I spent a lot of time out of aero because I could not get my breathing under control. Overall the bike went really well and was consistent with my times all year long. What would you do differently?: I drank my new profile design water bottle dry by mile 11. Very humid so we were losing a lot of fluids. Transition 2
Comments: Missed the bike rack on first attempt but put it on second attempt. Dunked the feet, got socks and shoes on and took off. What would you do differently?: Nothing Run
Comments: Pushed as hard as I could go. This is first race since coming back from hamstring injury last month. Overall my times did not suffer due to hamstring. What would you do differently?: Nothing Post race
Warm down: I was third to finish so I talked to people as they came in. I had some water, banana, a a bagel. Got a shower at the pool and the got a rub. waited for awards, then drove 1:40 back home. What limited your ability to perform faster: Hamstring injury last month. Event comments: Great support by the volunteers and Sumter officials. Organization was perfect. I was very pleased with every aspect of the race. Last updated: 2013-10-19 12:00 AM

Went to bed at 8:45pm, woke up at 4:45am ate some steel cut oats, bannnan, and coffee. Hopped in the car and drove up to the event 1:40 minutes. Had 2 coconut waters and some powerade on the way up.
Setup transition, took the bike for a quick ride, hit the restroom, then hid in the car because it started raining. Rain broke about 15 minutes before the race. Had 4 anti-fatigues and a roctane.
