Awesome swim! Came out of the water in 8th place. Had a few 'off course' moments...but quickly corrected.

Comments:

Horrible time due to getting jersey on. I struggled for over a minute with it!! Tri shirt here I come.
Everything else went okay. Forgot to grab food.
What would you do differently?:

NO JERSEY!!!

More hill training.

Comments:

Other than a huge cramp in my left calf that I had to stretch out...not bad.
What would you do differently?:

more nutrition on the bike...might have helped with cramping
Run

  • 3 miles
  • 10m 58s  min/mile
Comments:

Worst run I've had in years!! Had to walk several times. Legs were jello after hills on the bike. Temps started getting hot (90s). Horrible performance.
What would you do differently?:

More running in general. Running is my weak point...I need to get it on the level that my swim and bike are.
Post race
Warm down:

Really had trouble cooling down. Lots of fluids..didn't seem to help. Once we got into the car with the A/C on...all was good.

Event comments:

Good overall race I guess. killer swim + ok bike + horrible run = it all balances out to ok.
