Swim
Comments: I really hit the pool hard the first half but after that I was getting really tired so I slowed to a better more relaxed pace. What would you do differently?: Start out more slowly, not try to kill myself starting out. Transition 1
Comments: Had a little trouble clipping into my right speedplay shoe but I have only have them for about a week I was used to look pedals. What would you do differently?: Next race might try and keep my shoes already clipped in to save some time with lots of practice before though. Bike
Comments: I really enjoyed myself out on the bike, it was over before I knew it. I was surprized how well I did on the killer hill on old route 63. What would you do differently?: I would incorporate more hill training although i felt pretty strong on them as it was. Transition 2
Comments: Coming off the dismont line I hopped off my bike and my right shoe popped off which was kind of embarasing but a volunteer grabbed it for me and off I went, I am still not used to my new speedplay pedals. I also tried to rack my bike diferently than I did starting, which I struggled with I needed to rack the same way I did starting the race. What would you do differently?: Rack my bike the same way everytime. Run
Comments: I thought my run went fairly well, at the time though, I thought I was going quite slow but I acually shaved 20sec per mile off of a 5k run I did in January. What would you do differently?: Practice more brick training, boy did my legs hurt for the 1st mile. Post race
Warm down: Stretched a little bit, talked to family about the race. What limited your ability to perform faster: The swim I really need some classes to better my swim. Event comments: I am kind of biased when it comes to the race evaluation because Mark Livesay is my cousin but I think he puts on some fun and and well planned events.

I was going to eat some oatmeal but I should have checked that the hotel had a microwave. I stopped at a gas station for some musclemilk which was okay.
I streched for awhile and did a 100m warmup swim but it did not matter because I waited to swim for 2 hours past the first wave of the elites.
