Had one late registration guy seed himself too far back pass me. Actualy gave me a chance to draft for a a length!!
What would you do differently?:

get in the water a little more
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

the time on this transition is a huge ???? Not timed on the mats, and I can not get the numbers on my watch, bike computer and official times to jive at all
What would you do differently?:

Was a very clean, but not rushed transition. Maybe time it would help :)

The offical time includes T1. I had 34:09 on my bike computer,also includes the run in part of T1 and T2. The pace on my bike computer had me at 18+ MPH, and that is a realy good sign for me.
What would you do differently?:

Need to work out pushing the tempo up durring training. Maybe get to 20 MPH time trials.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

again, can not figure out the transition times too many variables
What would you do differently?:

Good tranistion, so I am happy
Run
  • 28m 3s
  • 3 miles
  • 09m 21s  min/mile
Comments:

Quite surprised my legs responded so well off the bike. A tad sluggish just after T2, but I was moving pretty good for what I could expect. My watch time had 31:16, which is in line with the 10 min + splits I was getting. Somehow this races times were off, but they seemed that way for almost everyone I talked to.

Was very happy the run to the line was about a 1/4 mile down hill. Finished extreamly strong, and it felt GREAT!!
What would you do differently?:

Not miss a week of training and not ride quite so hard on the bike less than a week before the race.
