 Swim
Comments: Swim cancelled.  Transition 1
Comments: The race started at the swim start with athletes running about 100 yards into the transition area to get their bikes. Two at a time in a time trial start. I passed my bike and didn't get into my shoes very well. What would you do differently?: Remember where my bike is!  Bike
Comments: The bike segment went pretty well. I've been training on hills and this time I was not gasping for breath after most of the hills. It too me a very, very long time to feel like I had warmed up my legs. Even my feet felt chilled for awhile. I wore my trisuit w/ a long-sleeve top over it. In hindsight, I think I should have worn tights. Fun bike route. Pavement was terrific given the winter. Could not have asked for a better road surface. Good bike effort. What would you do differently?: Not much. I think I rode the bike segment pretty smart. Maybe should have worn tights. Transition 2
Comments: Not one of my speedier transitions. Didn't quite get the race belt on right. Next time will run with race belt out of transition. What would you do differently?: Do a couple of dry runs @ home.  Run
Comments: Surprised by my time. Much better than I anticipated given my run training. Finally started feeling warm during the run. Decided to power walk the bigger hills. For me, this is a smart decision. What would you do differently?: Not much. This was a good run segment for me. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Training, training, training! Did not get in the running that I probably should have. Both the bike and run should improve given my Saturday morning group ride and my Thursday morning track workouts. I'd been a bit spotty on the group rides and the track workouts just started in April. I've had to miss two of them. Event comments: I'm very, very pleased with my effort. Based on how tired and stiff I was on Sunday and Monday, I know that I put in a really good effort. This was a very well run race. Especially given the uncertainty surrounding the takeover of the race by UCF from TriColumbia. Volunteers terrific. Great course. Will probably sign up again! Last updated: 2013-12-18 12:00 AM

Up and out of the house early. Way too early. I didn't realize the race start was set back since the swim was cancelled. So my usual routine of getting to the race site early back-fired a bit. I was there way too long before my wave went. Quite chilly and just never felt like I'd warmed up until mid-run. I think I also had too much coffee with messed with my stomach. Luckily the waiting help this pass.
Just a bit of movement to keep warm.
