Comments:

i swam way too easy the 1st half. I guess I didn't think I was ready to push from the getgo. once I began pushing the pace I passed many guys/gals on the elite wave who were wearing a wetsuit.
What would you do differently?:

push hard throughout

Comments:

ok ride. 1st 20 min my legs felt weak with no pop and I felt like I was done. After 20 min someone turn on the power switch and the legs came around. I felt good and managed to push at a descent clip (235 watts, 24 mph) for last 40 min which also are the ones with most hilly/rolling terrain.
What would you do differently?:

nothing much I am still getting the cycling legs back and I did two intense sessions during the week.

Comments:

I felt good and strong throughout. I didn't run as fast as I can when in shapoe but I was ok with it and I didn't risk ushing more of what my fitness would allow me. Surprisingly as the race wnet on I felt better and the legs felt good besides swom calf/tendon tweaks. I ended up with the fastest run of the day which is strange :)
