![]() Swim
Comments: Melee at the start! What would you do differently?: Sprint out/break away sooner to get out of the melee of thrashing arms! ![]() Transition 1
What would you do differently?: practice mounting w/ shoes already clipped in ![]() Bike
Comments: felt good, went harder than in past races; would probably keep the same level of effort next race to save some energy for the run What would you do differently?: only take in a second gel if I feel up for it, it might have caused cramping on the run. tape pre-opened gels to bike frame remove unncessary items from bike such as bento box, rear water bottle cages ![]() Transition 2
Comments: had trouble dismounting quickly took too long tying shoes What would you do differently?: USE LACE-LOCKS OR YANKS!!! ![]() Run
Comments: felt moderate cramping from the start, held back some to prevent it from going into a full blown cramp that would've drastically slowed me down didn't feel up to drinking anything felt more fatigued than usual, not used to running off the bike right now didn't have the usual kick/pick-up What would you do differently?: eat less on the bike drink more on the run do more HIGH INTENSITY brick work-outs! ![]() Post race
Warm down: walk around transition What limited your ability to perform faster: limited training month before the race no PEAK training/high intensity work-outs for speed and power slow transitions poor technique on bike U-turns several pounds over my ideal race weight Event comments: Great race... and after-party!
