Pre-race routine:

TriTardy and I got there in plenty of time. I expected to find a water jug to fill up my bottles, but there weren't any. I finally found some bottled water at the last minute for my bike bottles. I hopped on the shuttle and hung with Tardy, Bruce, and Drew until the start.

Comments:

This was a good swim today. I was feeling a little bummed after my swim at Mach Tenn, but this swim reminded me that I'm a good swimmer and only stunk it up so bad at Mach Tenn because I was in the very small minority not in a wetsuit. I passed Tardy in the water today (since he started Elite). I yelled at him and he popped his head up and said "you Jackass!"

Comments:

As usual tons of bikes were flying past me today. It got worse at about mile 11 when my brand new chain started skipping gears under any torque at all. I had to ride the final 13 miles in my small chain ring.
Transition 2
  • 01m 55s
Comments:

Some jerk racked his bike on top of my transition so I couldn't find my stuff. I tossed his bike on the ground.
Run
  • 53m 29s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 08m 37s  min/mile
Comments:

Very hot...I bonked. I run/walked most of the course. Mile 1 and 2 were decent at 7:30s, but were already behind my usual 7's for an Oly run. At mile 3 I was forced to walk by the heat. It went that way for the rest of the run. I'd run half a mile or so, then my stomach would get quesy and I'd have to stop and walk again.

Event comments:

Great race! Next year I won't have a sinus/upper respiratory infection, hopefully. :)
