Comments:

This swim was probably one of my most comfortable. was surprised that I was able to pass people from previous waves. i usually bilat breath but was more comfortable just breathing every stoke. I think that I actually was sighting beter because of it.

Bike was hilly and roads were not the greatest. since feeling so good out of the water i decided that i would push on the bike. was able to pass quite a few people.

I felt really good on this run. Started to get pretty warm though. Just kept the training and did 1/2mile 1 min. Would have been a bit more speedy but had to stop and visit the port potty, just couldnt hold it any longer!! At least it wasnt the usual reason to stop!!!
What would you do differently?:

Push the run a bit harder
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

I am training for IMFL and this race was just to practice OWS before FL. I had run my long 18 mile run on Sat and had no hopes of doing anything good. Then after the swim went so well decided to push the race a bit without getting hurt.

Love Se Up races. They always do a great job!
