Comments:

Course was pretty simple, but I think just a little long. This was kind of unusually long. Talk with a couple other people randomly that raced afterwards - and they all said their times were long. Might of had something to do with the current.
What would you do differently?:

Little faster? Little harder?
Transition 1
  • 01m 54s
Comments:

Came right out of the water and my bike was a couple yards away. The short run to my bike must have not given me enough time to adjust. Right when I bent over to take off my suit - I felt like I was inside a washing machine. Got really really dizzy - so I stood up real quick, and then sat down. Took a few seconds, then just carried on slowly.
What would you do differently?:

Ohh... not too sure... not bent over?

Probably could of gone a bit harder. Coming in and out of transition with my shoes on took a lot of time.
What would you do differently?:

Gone a bit harder. Didn't really train that much on the bike - So I'm happy with how I did.

First mile came in at 8:00, then I slowed as the heat took its toll. Last bit of the course was on blacktop. Happy with my performance though since I didn't do much speed training at all in preparation for this.
What would you do differently?:

Trained?
Post race
Warm down:

Ate a Mojo bar. Drank lots of water

What limited your ability to perform faster:

No speed-specific training.

Event comments:

Great race - nice course, and lots of nice people. Everything went very smoothly. Post race was a lot of fun as well. Definitely had a great experience.
