![]() Swim
Comments: Swim went well, although slower than normal for me. The chop and crowds were difficult and sighting for me was awful. Did quite a bit of zig sagging trying to get to the bouys. My swim technique is not the best, but it works for me. What would you do differently?: Train on sighting differently. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: No issues here. Quick dry of my feet, socks on with no issues, grabbed the helmet and gels and off to the bike course. ![]() Bike
Comments: Bike went well. Course is smooth and practically flat. A few inclines, but nothing to get worked up about. I felt good on this leg and was only passed by tri bikes, not road bikes. Very pleased with the bike portion. What would you do differently?: Not much. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Nearly ran out of T2 with my helmet on. ![]() Run
Comments: Run went well over first 4.5 miles. The course has a few rolling hills on the last 3 miles and these got me on the finish. Felt great through 4.5 miles and really struggled over the last 1.5. Hills and the lack of hydration really hurt me. ![]() Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: I have a real problem with hydration. I get stomach issues (cramping, other issues) if I take too much water, so I tried to watch how much water I was drinking. I used gel pack as a substitute, but it did not work. I struggled through the last 1.5 miles as I was dehydrated and just looking to finish. I did and felt good about finishing, but need to figure this out if I keep racing this distance. Event comments: CGI Racing does it right. Plenty of volunteers, all energetic. I would participate in any race they put on. Last updated: 2014-04-29 12:00 AM
