Decent swim. Since they did transition timing this year, the swim time was a little longer than last year by a few seconds.
What would you do differently?:

Possibly push harder, but overall I was satisfied
Transition 1

Comments:

Decent transition. Had too much stuff in my area for a good transition.
What would you do differently?:

Clean up my area a little more.

Decent bike ride for me. At least three minutes faster than last year. Other than riding in the pouring rain, I was quite pleased with the ride.
What would you do differently?:

Work on getting my shoes off before the transition area.
Transition 2
  • 02m 30s
Comments:

My T2 was among the slowest in the field. Definately something to improve on for next year.
What would you do differently?:

Shoes off before transition, and shake a leg in T2.

  • 3 miles
  • 10m 14s  min/mile
Comments:

Typical run for me. Although it was raining, my time was around a minute faster than last year, so all the training showed a little. The course needs to identify mile markers.
What would you do differently?:

Push harder.
Post race
Warm down:

Ate a banana, and drank some water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not much

Event comments:

Mile markers on the run would help a lot.
