Swim
Comments: Water felt great, 71 degrees was perfect. The only bad thing was that the Thursday before the race my tinted googles developed a leak. Ended up using my clear googles for the swim which made breathing to the East rough. What would you do differently?: New googles and maybe sight a little better, seemed to drift to the left quite a bit. Transition 1
Comments: I have sensitive feet and the run to transition and sucked, but it is what it is. Bike
Transition 2
Run
Comments: The humidity and lack of run training killed me... end of story. In my training for the Illinois Marathon I developed PF in my left foot. My run has been pretty much non-existant since April. I also made the mistake of wearing my zero-drop Newton Tri-Racers instead of something with more support. What would you do differently?: Wear different shoes. Post race
Warm down: Drank water and Gatorade. Some light stretching. What limited your ability to perform faster: Lower training volume due to work, PF in my left foot and subsequent poor choice in shoes for the day. Event comments: Gene does a great job as the RD for this race. Lots of great volunteers and community support. Closed state highway for the bike is almost unheard of anymore.
