 Swim
Comments: The swim was a disaster in some ways. The guy four in front admitted to making up his time - sure enough yeah he caused a problem. I passed three folks in 150 yards; and it was so congested I had to slow down. I know I could have gone faster in a clear pool. What would you do differently?: Should have dropped my seed time; I seriously considered it and should have  Transition 1
Comments: Terrible transition - transition spot did not help. What would you do differently?: Hustle  Bike
Comments: Riding the course the day before paid huge dividends. I knew what to expect; went out and road hard. Passed a bunch of folks. Got caught at the every end behind a truck What would you do differently?: Not much - little harder the second 5 miles but not by much Transition 2
Comments: Again I tried but my spot was so out of the way - terribly hard to make time here  Run
Comments: I do zero trail running - none so it is always tough. I ran hard and passed two folks and got passed by two folks. I thought I was a little faster than this but I will take it. What would you do differently?: Nothing - my HR was truly alarming. I totally screwed up my Garmin during the race Post race
Warm down: Got some water - and started to cool down. Eventually I cleaned up, took a shower in the gym as I waited. I finished by 9am and awards did not start until 10:30. But they had a great breakfast that was super yummy What limited your ability to perform faster: This was a C race - mentally and physically. I was in town and it was close to home. I had not done a super sprint in 2 years. Fun race and a way to break up training. Being well would have been nice. Event comments: Certainly its not the toughest race but the volunteers made it fun; the breakfast afterwards was good. It was a great race for beginners by and large. enjoyed the experience and totally recommend the race for newbies. Last updated: 2014-07-27 12:00 AM

Up by 6:15 and out the door by 6:40am. No pre-race packet pickup for this race. I did go drive the bike course the day before.
I have been sick all week so the goals kept changing in my mind. Race morning I was wondering why did I get out of bed
Got to the race at a decent time and did the whole packet pickup thing. I had a terrible transition spot; really my first bad one all year. Just stuck in a corner - my fellow competitors even commented.
Setup transition and went to warmup
Time was a little close - and its was such a short swim that I decided to not get in the water. I threw on my shoes and went for a mile run down the trail path. Little bit of scouting goes a long way. Did some activation, hit the bathroom and it was about time
