Comments:

We had to wade for about the first and last .1 miles. Post race I learned that the GPS calc of the course did not start until they figured people would start swimming. This explains the slow time on the swim.
What would you do differently?:

At certain times I was crossing my "midline" which resulted in me side washing and cost me some time and effort.
Transition 1
  • 02m 14s
Comments:

Did not preclip my shoes because my bike was close to the bike exit. The transistion area was pretty muddy so I decided not to preclip. This was a mistake because my shoes caked up with mud and it took me about 1/2 a mile to get into my pedals

Comments:

I tried to put athletic tape on my heels to prevent blistering, but the skin was to wet so it would not stick. I took my chances and ended up with out a problem. The smartwool socks probably helped this.

Comments:

I had a bad cramp for the first 2 iles under my ribs. As the run went on it got better, hence the negative splits
