Swim
Comments: Felt much better swimming this time. May be getting accustomed to the open water. The water was calm and felt pretty warm. Did not go all out as I wanted to maintain a comfortable pace for the entire course. Probably could have been faster. What would you do differently?: If course is the same, then I will go at a faster pace. Transition 1
Comments: Crowded coming out of transition area with narrow track adjacent to cars on road. Not a great set-up but choices are limited. Kind of dangerous for everybody. What would you do differently?: Just get in and out with a bit more urgency. Bike
Comments: Got caught a couple of times coming off of turns facing hills in the wrong gear. That cost me momentum and energy. Otherwise, I was pretty fast on the flatter areas. What would you do differently?: Better knowledge of the course might help. Transition 2
Comments: None What would you do differently?: Could have moved with a little more urgency. Run
Comments: Just can't seem to sustain enough energy to run at a consistently faster pace. This is a tough run course because of the steep hills. Post race
Warm down: nothing Event comments: Too many levels of competition make it hard to organize. Transition area is not very secure. Transition area is crowded with people and difficult for all the athletes especially those doing longer segments coming in when others are finished and leaving. Bike in and out is adjacent to active road and none of the roads were closed down. Automobile traffic using the roads at the same time the race is going on was kind of dangerous.
