  • 02m 02s / 100 yards
Comments:

Chips were attached with neoprene straps and velcro. I felt the end of the strap flopping around almost immediately and was certain it would come off. I stopped at one point, reached back and contemplated snatching it off and holding it. I was hesitant to kick too hard for the remainder of the swim. It really threw off my rhythm..
What would you do differently?:

Make sure wet suit is over chip/ strap.

Comments:

I thought my computer battery was dead, but the transmitter on the fork was too far from the wheel. Had no data during ride. Thought I was faster than I was.
What would you do differently?:

Make sure computer is working.

Pretty satisfied.
Run

  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 56s  min/mile
Comments:

Stomach was bothering me somewhat and heat was a factor.
What would you do differently?:

Note to self: Pre-race meal of Burrito Supreme bad idea. Stomach issues compounded by ingestion of bay water wreaked havoc. Did have a great burst last several hundred yards passing several runners who had just passed me. Not sure where it came from.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Probably need to train for speed.

Event comments:
