Comments:

started on the inside to avoid the pile up. did have a few people converge on me on the out section which made the swim cramped but rounded the bouy well and did a good job of holding a staright line coming back. did get a bit tired near the end.

hammered up the first hill which left my legs in shock for a few mins. once a settled down i was caught by 2 people who i then paced off of the rest of the ride. hit a few bad spots where i slowed down but finished the last couple hills really well and then took the last downhill a bit easy to recoop for the run.
What would you do differently?:

hammer harder!!!!

Comments:

i really went hard from the beginning and plowed up the hill to make ground on some folks but once i reached the turnaround and was in striking distance to catch 1 or 2 guys i ran out of gas and could pick up the pace anymore. was past near the end by a guy running a 4:57pace (he ended up with the fastest run split). tried desperately to catch rob rindone but i gave up once we got back in the park.
What would you do differently?:

nothing but try to push even harder
Post race
