 Swim
Comments: Had a great swimmer ahead of me, help me move around a number of people in the pool. No major issues in the pool. Liked the way the end was done with the extra wide final lane. What would you do differently?: Get a bit more warm up  Transition 1
Comments: Did not have the best spot on the rack for my transition, had a towel perpendicular to the bike rather than parallel. Made it feel a bit crowded and cluttered in finding my stuff. What would you do differently?: Need to get better at transitions!
 Bike
Comments: I thought I was going to vomit for the first little ways then came around. Still slower then I wanted to be... I did get on the drops once or twice on the downhills. Tripped a bit of back pain around the "bone spur" area. What would you do differently?:
Transition 2
Comments: Glad I had a BT crew there to coach me through T2 - was a bit whipped from the last hill on the bike. What would you do differently?:
 Run
Comments: Legs felt a bit weak, but I expected that going into this race. I am surprised how mentally whipped I was... I really had to tunnel vision it and focus on the goal. I really wanted to be in the 8min/mile not 9min/mile mark. Had to walk for 30sec at each of the gravel road turn arounds, not sure what the heart rate was but I could tell it was HIGH. What would you do differently?: Be in better shape... Post race
Warm down: Walking around talking to BT'ers OF COURSE - is there another type of cool down. Did do a 1/4 mi jog just to free up the legs What limited your ability to perform faster:

Pre-race nutrition:
- Breakfast - ceral and soymilk, cup o' coffee.
- At site - 1/2 cliff bar and a venti StartBucks.
Wandering aimlessly through the event site and transition area. Talking to fellow BT'ers, drinking coffee and generally trying to appear calm for my first Triathlon.
Helped to have fellow novices and experienced racers from BT there to chat up while waiting.
Was supposed to be meeting up with the wife before her swim start to transition the race bag...oops
1/2 lap in the pool before the start... could have used a bit more.
