Pre-race routine:

Swim
  • 34m 18s
  • 1500 meters
  • 02m 17s / 100 meters
Comments:

Swim was much longer then 1500m closer to 1700m IMO. If you look at the swim map for the Sprinters to do 750m, Oly's for sure have to do an extra 200m at least.
What would you do differently?:

Buoy rounding was terrible, swung way too wide

Two Flat tires on course caused me to lose 15minutes approx.
Very conjested course with road traffic and big trucks going to and from the cement/ gravel yard which is part of the course.
One monster hill which makes things interesting.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

  • 00m
Run

Run supposed to be 9km, actually 10km's.
What would you do differently?:

Train harder
Post race
Event comments:

Poor security in transition area. Open to public. Anyone could easily walk off with a bike.
Very congested on bike course with vehicular traffic, several big trucks on course causing havoc.
Had to change rear tire tube twice because of steel belt from blown tires (big trucks) puncturing through my tire.
