 Swim
Comments: It was a good swim. This was my first time with this distance and I did well. The interesting thing about this course, is about 25% of it you could stand. So sometimes I would dolphin dive to go a little faster. I got in my groove right before rounding the far buoy the first time and kicked butt after that. What would you do differently?: Not too much. I can always use more practice and get faster!  Transition 1
Comments: Long T1 from the beach. We had to run about .10 of a mile to the transition through sand, not fast or fun. What would you do differently?: Be quicker and not have my glove inside out and take the extra 5 seconds to make sure all sand was off my feet (had a few grains that kinda bugged me at the end of the run).  Bike
Comments: Awesome bike ride. I felt really strong and had a great avg speed for how hilly it was. I enjoyed the bike a lot. What would you do differently?: Coming out of T1 I had to go over a cattle gaurd and both my water bottle and my spare tube kit popped out of my rear drink holder so I had to stop, turn around and go get it. That ruined my pace, time and avg. I bet I was closer to 19.5-20 if I didn't do that. Transition 2
Comments: Good transition and took a swig of gel before going out on the run What would you do differently?: Just get quicker.  Run
Comments: I was pretty spent by this time. First oly was catching up with me after the good bike I didn't have a ton left. Energy felt good, but not really running well in training for over a month really caught up with me What would you do differently?: Train for running more. I have slacked off. Post race
Warm down: So after I about collapsed (not really) Ryan and Jeff got me some food and I took the recovery pills we got in our packets. I also stuck around for my 3rd place metal! What limited your ability to perform faster: Run training and lack of training in general. Event comments: Great race. Really enjoyed the venue and a good job for their first annual Bear Lake Brawl!

Woke up at 6am and took a shower. Got ready and drove to the race with Jeff Ryan and Christi. We stopped at a gas station and got a breakfast sandwich.
I was a little worried if this was a stupid thing to do, but it turned out to be perfect. We got there plenty early and got our transition setup and I got the pick on the rack which was nice.
Went to the water and tested it (cold) and went through transition in my head.
