Overall not a bad swim for me...I started out with a good breathing pattern that I had previously practiced with then quickly reverted to my old slower pattern. Still its a 2 minute improvement from my last swim. The hardest part was getting out of the water onto a floating platform...it actually took 2 attempts. Then there was a climb from the water to T1 that amounted to a cliff...that sucked too.

Practice more OW swimming. As long as I don't get freaked out...I think I could get under 35

This time has to be wrong...but didn't go to badly.

Wasn't ready for this...plain and simple. Got crushed early and never recovered. Had to walk bike up some hills.

Obviously train more....this course was a little too hard after less than 1 year of riding.

Terrible run. In T2 someone said told me its a flat course. For the most part this is true...except that mile 4 was a pretty big hill...all of mile 4. This is if I remember correctly...I was kind of delerious from the heat at this point. Felt bad about how poorly I did on the bike but even worse about the run. It seemed every time I got a good pace going I would crash shortly after.

I thought I had trained more for this run than the St. Anthony's, but I did significantly worse. Gotta keep training.

I thought it was a good race...just that I didn't run a good race. A bunch of factors could have attributed to my poor performance but I think I need to take lessons from this. I will just have to work harder the next time and keep at it.
