What would you do differently?:

Not wear the wetsuit, I felt like it held me back. The water temperature was fine.
Transition 1
  • 03m 43s
Comments:

Took a little bit out of the way to give Dave a slap.
What would you do differently?:

Practice getting the wetsuit off when wet. It didn't roll off all the way and got stuck at the feet. Practice getting in the shoes more, but I think that part went ok.

Comments:

Nice and flat. Good warm up pace to begin with @ 19.9mph avg. Got caught in a group and banged out 24mph for a few miles with them. Had trouble maintaining 19-20 for the last 20 miles.
What would you do differently?:

I would have started with 0 bottles and picked them up as I went since they were every 10 miles.
Transition 2
  • 02m 39s
Comments:

Forgot to put my head band on and forgot to take my biking shorts off, but remembered to get a kiss from my WP.
What would you do differently?:

Practice taking feet out of shoes on the bike, because I was only able to get one out before I had to brake. So I ran with one shoe on my foot the other on my pedal.
Run
  • 2h 02m 45s
  • 13.1 miles
  • 09m 22s  min/mile
Comments:

Too hot to run. Spent too much on the bike. Walked a lot.
What would you do differently?:

Wear a hat to put ice in for cooling. Heat is what slowed me down the most.
Post race
Warm down:

Got a cold water spray from the hose by a volunteer at the finish. Felt like crap.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

HEAT.

Event comments:

Awesome race. Whole town was involved.
