Swim
  • 08m 5s
  • 437 yards
  • 01m 51s / 100 yards
Comments:

The swim was the last event. It was cloudy and crowed. I had a tough time passing in the first lane because it was so narrow. My arms didn't feel real strong and my form went to crap.
What would you do differently?:

I need to do sets after I'm exhausted. Perhaps bricks with the swim second.
Transition 1
  • 01m 12s
Comments:

this was the run to bike transition. I have mtn. bike shoes which take a little while to get into.
What would you do differently?:

nothing, seemed pretty good.

  • 23.13 mile/hr
Comments:

Felt pretty good out there. Tried to keep it at 24/25 and definitely over 22. I wanted to push myself for the final 5mi, but just wasn't able to.
What would you do differently?:

Sprint up hills.
Transition 2
  • 01m 20s
Comments:

This was the bike to swim transition. Did alright, although the run on the pavement was a bit slow.
Run
  • 20m 30s
  • 3 miles
  • 06m 50s  min/mile
Comments:

I tried to go "all out" but didn't. I need to work on pushing my pace. I don't think the extra effort would have hurt me in the other events.
Post race
Warm down:

Hit the bathroom, watched wife finish.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training probably, but I did alright.

Event comments:

The wave start was a little unclear. You can see from the results, that a few people started in the wrong wave.
