  • Comments: Now i don't want to sound like I'm super upset. This is my best olympic time by 3 minutes on a course much much harder than the course i set my previous PR. However, I've never laid myself on the line and emptied my tank like that ever before. Having the race coming down to the wire like that and failing to reach my goal was just a huge huge disappointment. The worst part is i think back on the race and see all the parts where i could have made up those 30 seconds. My swim should have been 2 minutes faster, i could have ran to transition faster, i could have bombed down hills faster on my bike. In the end i didn't make the cut and i'm just going to have to try again. Other than that my race nutrition and warm up seemed spot on. I'll add thoughts and such as we go. but this is the breakdown of my race this weekend.

  • Comments: Compared to last year, the expo, event, and all other aspects were infinitely better. The weather was hot, yet allowed for racing. I think all teams had a great time and many put on a great show. USAT really did a great job this year in my opinion. I was surprised to find out that there was already a complaint thread on ST hours after the race. I've done enough races to know that the start might vary by a few minutes or one leg might be a tad short or long. If people want to blame their performance on logistics, so be it. In the end, I'm very proud of the Michigan team and I think we had a solid showing. My main goal was have a solid Olympic distance race with no GI issues unlike last year's Nats, and I accomplished it. My finish time is nothing more than a representation of what I was able to accomplish on race day. My time could have been much better or much worse. Race times are highly susceptible to outside influence, and in my opinion most often represent your abilities
