Comments:

I've decreased the time spent working out for the swim portion inorder to spend more time on the bike. Helped the bike portion but hurt the swim portion. I was only about 17 seconds slower than last year.
What would you do differently?:

balance my workouts better - add more swims.
Transition 1
  • 01m 45s
Comments:

I've had better swim/bike transitions. Had a difficult time getting clipped into the right clip.
What would you do differently?:

I need to work on getting on the bike quick. Running to the bike mount line does no good if I come to a complete stop to mount my bike.

Good transition. Our team was grouped together in transition and it was a little difficult to concentrate with other team members in area waiting for their start.
Run
  • 26m
  • 3.1 miles
  • 08m 23s  min/mile
Comments:

Temperature was very warm by this point. Past only about 5 people on run. No one to run with. Between temperature and running alone, it became very much a mental race. Glad it was only a 5k.

Actually felt very good considering the heat and how hard I went on the bike. Did not experience the "rubbery leg" feeling. No shin splint issues until the morning after the race. Good run! I can tell the additional running is helping get me time down.
Post race
Warm down:

walked and stretched.

Drank 2 bottles of water and 2 bottles of recovery drink

PARTY!!!!!!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not enough swimming

Event comments:

Take out relays 170/641

Women only 31/283

Next year don't attend Saturday bike check-in/packet pickup. It saves only about 10 minutes of time on Sunday, but we spent 45 minutes waiting in the sun on Saturday.
