Swim
Comments: Horribly murky water, couldn't see your hand out in front of you. Was seeded towrds the back, so I had to pass a ton of peoeple. The buoys had been blow around, so the times were much longer than a true 1/2 mile swim. I had the 2nd fastest swim time in my AG, and was only beat by 10 sec by the fastest guy. Sighting wasn't great, and had to stop several times to see my way around others without getting too far off line. I wasn't happy seeing the time as I got out of the water, but after looking at the results, I was very pleased with it. What would you do differently?: I would probably opt for the elite wave start. Transition 1
Comments: went smoothly, took an extra few seconds to get sand off my feet. What would you do differently?: nothirng Bike
Comments: I stayed at a comfortably hard pace the whole way. I was disappointed in the time, but I rode a hard leg What would you do differently?: nothing Transition 2
Comments: Had to take a good nit of time here, since I was wearing someone else's shoes and had to stop and tie them. Run
Comments: run went pretty well. Felt fast going out. Once I hit the trails and the first hill, I slowed a bit, but ran all the way to the top. Passed sefveral people coming back down, and came back in the road fairly well. I thought it would have been faster. What would you do differently?: not forget my own shoes Post race
Warm down: walked around teh food tent, found the guy from whom I borrowed the shoes What limited your ability to perform faster: lack of strength on the bike Event comments: Another very good race. Very organized. Swim buoys had been blown around a bit, adding extra distance. Last updated: 2015-05-29 12:00 AM
