 Swim
Comments: drafted very well... for awhile ..lost the guy when ran into group of slower swimmers.. kept track of buoys by just concentrating on following those aroud me.. so I kept my eyes underwater mostly... What would you do differently?: not much swim training this year at all... train more..  Transition 1
Comments: nice segue from swim to bike.. no walking with bike.. just jump on and leave.. works awsome.. only race that does this..that I have attended What would you do differently?: hustle more  Bike
Comments: not sure about distance.. they say 37km.. but it might have been shorter.. 21.42 is pretty fast for me.. What would you do differently?: push a lot harder.. saving my digging for the PIG... Transition 2
Comments: thought I was in rack 2.. and I just stood there looking for few minutes.. dumbfounded.. turned around and looked in rack lane 1.. there I was.. stupid.. I had to use the BR at mile 10 on the bike... so I quickly went to the porta-pod and made us of it... ahhh .. another 2 minutes most likely past .. ugh!! What would you do differently?: not drink so much... avoid forgetting where I put my stuff.. and the not use the porta pod.. Im such a slow poke in t zones.. ugh  Run
Comments: wasn't sure about pace unti I hit the miler marker.. steady 9 minute miles pretty much. Kicked it in at the end.. for last .2 mile. It rained during the run.. thank the gods.. I seem to fade pretty quick when the sun comes out and bakes .. so the rain and overcast was nice... What would you do differently?: nothing.. steady like a turtle.. wasn't pushing .. afraid to injure myself b4 the pig ... Post race
Warm down: mmmm. hot dogs... sprite.. toasted gram honey bears... bananas... stood under tree... What limited your ability to perform faster: this was taper... my running severly needs more training... obviously. Event comments: I really like this race.. its flat.. well organized ... I didn't like the lake this year.. seaweed was terrible... They sortah messed up the national anthem.. so I was a bit surprised.. could have been more organized in that regard I suppose.. This year...i just wasnt as pysched or trained as well.. if I had shaved off the 4-5 minutes i burned in the t-zone it might have been more comparable.. 9 minutes slower because of the run and the BR break most likely..
