 Swim
Comments: see above. this was not a swim. the day following the race and the day after, the Sea of Cortex was as calm as a lake and no wind. What would you do differently?: nothing I could do differently here.  Transition 1
 Bike
Comments: took a little while to settle in, but then got it going. really flew down the back half of the way out. took the u-turn to head back to transition and the wind hit hard. i was so focused on the wind that I forgot to move the the small ring. figured that out and found my groove, really worked hard to try and maintain pace with the other races (at a blistering 13.5 mph). the elites passed me like I was standing still, but I was able to make a few passes myself. What would you do differently?: get a sail for the way out? Transition 2
 Run
Comments: hardly saw anyone in the first mile, but started to catch a few people in the 2nd. course was a little crowded after that with the 5K and 10K runners going through also. saw my wife at 2.5mi and grabbed her a$$ as I passed going up a hill. made her scream and me laugh. just fcused on trying to keep my pace and looking for other triathletes to try and catch up to. What would you do differently?: not much here. Post race
Warm down: grabbed 2 water bottles and waited for my wife to finish. headed over to the ONE tent and drank a few (or more) beers What limited your ability to perform faster: the wind Event comments: awesome race and the best post-race party ever. tons of beer, live band, and great times. I will do this race again! Profile Album Last updated: 2016-04-11 12:00 AM

late start, so I was able to sleep in a little. had some coffee, a banana, and a protein shake before getting my gear together and heading down to transition. love that everything happens right there at Las Palomas (where we were staying). racked my bike and headed down to the beach
thought about a short swim in the pool beforehand to loosed up the arms and shoulders. didn't need to as it became a modified swim
