Comments:

I couldn't get my breathing down at first. I rested at one lifeguard's board. After I belched a couple times, I got going again. Felt good after that.
What would you do differently?:

I wish I could have just figured out my breathing sooner.
Transition 1

Comments:

I couldn't get my wetsuit off, and as I was straining some muscles trying to do it.
What would you do differently?:

Take my wetsuit off before all the water drains out.

Comments:

Felt good om my ride until my calf locked up on the hill leading up to the U-turn. It took a little while for everything to loosen up. I was riding with the same folks for quite a while after the calf locked up.
What would you do differently?:

More water & missed a gel at the exchange.
Transition 2
  • 01m 47s
Comments:

I was worried about my calf in T2. I didn't rush, but did get some more electrolytes in me.

Comments:

Both calves locked up initially on the run. I got them streched out at a tree in the park. My back was giving me crap after that. I walked alot of the course, and still put up a decent pace for me. They ran out of water past the turn around point for the sprint.
What would you do differently?:

Need more time in aero position. I also need to fuel more on the bike.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nutrition & hydration.

Event comments:

Fun race, and will probably be on the schedule again for next year. I just wish my body would have held up better.
