Comments:

Swim was nuts with tough chop. I couldn't get a comfortable breathing pattern, which made the bike a higher heart rate than I wanted! It was shallow in a lot of it though, so that made it a little less of a nightmare. Funny enough, my bilateral breathing habit hurt me, because I've made it such a habit to breath to both sides, I breathed in water a couple times.
What would you do differently?:

Be more calm and relaxed. Si
Transition 1

Comments:

Took my time, I didn't think I'd be breaking any records soon, and could feel my heart rate was pretty high.
What would you do differently?:

Have every thing more ready than what I had ready at the time (have shoes more slip on friendly, have CO2 cartridges, inflator on my wing already, etc...

I had an AWESOME bike. My second fastest bike split for my 6 races I've done so far. 22.1 mph average!!! I wonder how I woulda done without all the road blocks in my way this year.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing!!!!!
Transition 2
  • 02m 28s
Comments:

Took my time again, only because I knew I wouldn't be breaking any PRs.
What would you do differently?:

Have laces on shoes more ready... and focus more on the task at hand (not be lazy)

Couldn't run all of it due to pulled hip abductor. But I did have a nice strong finish, pain and all!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Pulled hip abductor, sprained wrist

Event comments:

Very fun, I'd do it again if it weren't for the fact that I live 5 hours away.
