 Swim
Comments: Led everyone to the first bouy. Stayed side by side with one guy, noticed Trevor coming up on the outside and tried to catch his feet. Touched them a couple of times and felt bad so I backed off for a second....or did he take off??? : ) And then he was gone.... What would you do differently?: Should have pushed harder to keep his feet and tried to draft him on the way in.  Transition 1
Comments: watch slipped out of my hand while trying to put it on, cost me 10 seconds. SMOOTHE IS FAST. Fifth fastest T1 overall. Flying mount worked ok. Not perfect. What would you do differently?: Slow down just a tad putting watch on.  Bike
Comments: 1:22 behind overall bike leader. (:02 behind race leader) put me at -0:16 after swim, -0:08 T1 , -0:02 bike TOTAL 0:26 behind after bike. Brought back 0:03 during T2 so 0:23 behind starting run. What would you do differently?: I raced very hard to this point. Nothing I would have done differently. Very well executed to this point. Transition 2
Comments: VERY GOOD T2!!! Not only felt good but showed up on time as well. 4th fastest overall but fastest out of top 5 finishers (not sure about accuracy of top 3 in T2). Good job of unsnapping helmet while running to rack. Quickly put bike away. Put both shoes and picked up racing belt in one fairly smoothe motion. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Great T2. Keep practicing them.  Run
Comments: Just held on...went about as hard as I could and if I would have had 1 more mile I would have physically cracked...but not mentally!! What would you do differently?: I paced it very well. Ran comfortably hard the whole way without a watch to tell me what pace I was running. For some reason auto multi sport didn't work. Post race
Warm down: Drank a water immediately and then a gatorade and then whatever food I could shove in...I ATE IT !!!! What limited your ability to perform faster: I think that was as fast as I could have gone. (ok, so maybe less wind and less humidity but beggers can't be choosers) Event comments: Event coordinator has made this race huge in the last two or three years. VERY WELL DONE AND WILL COME BACK NEXT YEAR. Changed bike course in the week prior to race and recieved no notification but course was well marked. (original course would have had fewer turns) e-mail would have been nice saying to check course change or even at packet pickup could have been mentioned (even though there was a "new" map laying out on table) Last updated: 2011-03-19 12:00 AM

Another week of taper after Heritage. Ez ride Saturday. Light dinner Sat night and early wake up (4:45) with banana and piece of toast with peanut butter and jelly. Drank a bottle of gatorade the night before and the morning of due to humidity (approx 80%)
Two easy jogs with a couple of race pace pick ups. Two different swim warm ups because of transition closing 1 hour before race started. Should have sat down that and waited for race but was up walking around the whole time....started to feel it after the hour????
