 Swim
Comments: Relatively speaking that was a pretty go swim time for me. This was a small race and I couldn't believe how many people I saw that cut off the last bouy. Water was very nice I read some reports from last year and I dreaded the water but it was actually not to bad. What would you do differently?: Just keep practicing in the pool and OWS when I can. I really haven't got much swim time in over the last few weeks.  Transition 1
Comments: I knew I was going slow but 4 minutes is just not acceptable. Not much more to say about that. I need to be out of T1 in 2 minutes top, and that is even long. What would you do differently?: Not take my time so much. I might start using a water tube for my feet. I was not happy putting my socks on while my feet were filled with sand.  Bike
Comments: Again it is relative but I was very happy with my ride. I still have plenty of room for improvement but all and all I was happy. I still don't go aero and need to work on that. I didn't use my Aero bar hydration system and wished I did. Also I should mention that I did the race in a single gear. I was in the big ring on the front and I think a 12 on the back. What would you do differently?: Just have to keep plugging along with the training. Transition 2
Comments: Not 4 minutes but still not good enough. T2 should be a little over 1 minute for me. What would you do differently?: Just be faster.  Run
Comments: For the training I have put in this is what I could expect. Cool part was I got to see all my Team Triumph teammates coming in as I was headed out for the run. And then at the end they were all there cheering me on as were my wife and kids. What would you do differently?: More training. Post race
Warm down: See the family and teammates. Got to eat and drink more. I waited around to cheer on some teammates who picked up some hardware. What limited your ability to perform faster: I think I performed where I thought I would. If you cut 2 minutes off T1 and another off T2 I would have been real happy. Event comments: Good race.

Packed most stuff the night before. Had a potential disaster with my bike cleats. I got new cleats and put them on my shoes Thursday. I threw the old ones out (they were really bad). I didn't test the new ones until about 7pm Friday and wouldn't you know it they didn't fit the pedal. I scrambled and got in contact with LBS that took care of the problem. I told the other LBS what I had and I trusted that they would give me the right stuff. Sorry you lost my business.
Not much to do race morning. I got up at 5:20 had a banana and some water and was out of the house by 6am. Race was only 15 miles from my house so I was there with plenty of time to spare.
Set up transition. Other than that I don't do much of a warm up.
