average swim- but I'm an average swimmer- going to have to start working on this, I would have liked to have been a little faster, but just glad to get done and move on.
What would you do differently?:

practice!

Comments:

Good split until dropping chain on an uphill- I had a hard time getting it back on and lost waaayyyyyyyy to much time with it. I felt like Norman Stadler screaming at my bike. Sucked it up and cranked it out the rest of the way
What would you do differently?:

Get the chain slippage corrected and continue to build cycling fitness

Comments:

had a sloppy time getting out of my shoes while moving and almost lost my shoe. clean and quick once in TA

  • 3.1 miles
  • 07m 17s  min/mile
Comments:

Ran hard off the bike and pushed myself knowing I would have to rock this run. Mile 2ish on the hills I stared getting pukey- Sausage biscuit and grape gatorade is not a good flavor combo. I backed off a little here until I saw last years clyde winner in front of me at the turnaround- so I hammered all the way to the finish from there.
What would you do differently?:

no complaints- 4 seconds slower than PR
Post race
Warm down:

water, beer, cheer other racers, then checked results- 3rd Place clyde!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

inconsistency, weight, lack of swim training

Event comments:

Great event
