Was a challenging ride and there were some rough road spots that were a bit jarring, felt good on ride though, legs were sore when done
What would you do differently?:

Need to grind less and spin more to save legs, work on gear shifting to facilitate this

Didn't pull feet out of shoes due to broken toe, didn't want to risk jamming it and affecting the run leg
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, slow T2 due to taking care with taped toe

Comments:

Took it easy on downhills due to limiting pounding on my toe, developed a couple blister starters due to new insoles that I bought to pad my foot
What would you do differently?:

Don't use new insoles, otherwise nothing due to toe issue
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched, drank, ate banana, orange quarter, 1/2 cinnamon raison bagle

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Sore toe (due to break) and blisters on foot and my inability to conquer the swim

Event comments:

I am please with the race considering a week ago I wasn't sure that I was going to compete because of the broken toe. I imporved by about 5 minutes overall which is pretty decent. T1 was improved from last year due to the use of the Tri suit although still slow because of gingerly running as a result of the toe.
