 Swim
Comments: Despite how I felt about this swim I must say it was a good swim I surpassed my goal. What would you do differently?: Work on open water breathing  Transition 1
Comments: Out of transition and onto the bike went well I felt like it was going to be a good ride I passed 2 people on the way to the dam road but then found that I could not reach and hold the speed I wanted. I was running 19.2 and fluctuating from 17 to 20. I was not breathing hard nor did my legs feel fatigued I just could not seem to add more speed. I was passed by a lot of people. After the second turn around I did fade with speed dropping all the way to 12 on a slight incline What would you do differently?: I don't know but need to find out  Bike
Comments: I guess the pace was hard I did better on trainning rides but could not do it here. What would you do differently?: This is an area I need to fix Transition 2
Comments: Good transition What would you do differently?: learn to jump dismount  Run
Comments: Legs felt a bit tired but as I took off in a short choppy step run I realized I can do this. I noticed that it was down hill on the start so it must be uphill at the end I passed a few and was passed by a few people but not many. I had very little bad self talk and decided after 1 mile I could run with out stopping and did so except for about 200 feet with a cup of water. I saw Dave near a turn around and he said your catching me I replied yea but not today I knew he was too far ahead but I did seem to be gaining. After the turn around the up hill never happened I guess I was wrong or it just was not so bad with ½ mile to go I heard people closing in on me and decided they better want it real bad and sped up to hold them off. What would you do differently?: it was my best TRI run to date but still need to pick up the pace Post race
Warm down: Walked around drank my recovery drink and ate a hot dog What limited your ability to perform faster: the bike portion Event comments: I have the AG results now and man I got spanked lol I knew this was going to be a fast race and it was I am still satisfied with my overall performance.

After a difficult night including a 12:00 ER trip I went to sleep about 1:00 woke up at 5 grabbed a cup of coffee a glass of water and 2 PBJ’s and out the door for the 1.5 hour drive. I arrived in time to pick up my race packet and get set up. (don't eat so much)
No warm up just walked around a bit and fretted over the 74 degree water I also was checking out bikes I could not find any other Fuji’s and noticed than about 80% had some form of race wheels tho I did see one mountain bike and one beach cruiser style.
