Comments:

Good overall swim, nice short course.
What would you do differently?:

Could have rounded the bouys a little closer. Might as well start closer to the front since I ended up passing lots of people.

Chip came off while removing wetsuit, did not realize until 3 miles into the bike.

Make sure Chip stays on!!!!!!!

Comments:

1 or 2 downpours of rain made for interesting riding but kept body temp cool.
What would you do differently?:

Get a Tri bike, hams really tight after getting off bike. Overall happy with ride, just wish I had had my Chip on to get an official time.

Comments:

Took longer because had to find Chip and put it back on left leg :(
What would you do differently?:

Again, the Chip thing was a bummer.

Comments:

Wet from the rain, started at a fairly slow pace because hams were so tight about was able to increase pace after about 1/2 mile. I beat my 8:00/mile goal pace!
What would you do differently?:

Still need a bigger running base to improve race pace.
Post race
Warm down:

I keep forgeting this.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Overall physical fitness. Too many injuries this year to get a larger base.

Event comments:

Rain and possiblilty of lightening kept it from being on time, but otherwise went smoothly.
