My best swim. PR for the course. I still can't swim straight, but it was much better than normal. My watch had me swimming 2,236 instead of the marked 2112

Transition 1
  • 09m 13s
Comments:

Slow transition, I struggled taking my suit off. It was caught on my ankles. Everything else went well. Because it was cold, I put 2 hand warmers inside of my jersey, so it was warm when I put it on.I was a good guy in transition. After struggling to get my wet suit off, the guy next to me was having trouble, so I did my best stripper imitation and helped the guy next to me pull his wetsuit off
What would you do differently?:

Glide on my ankles

Great ride a PR on this course. I did change my drink and mix 2 frog fuels in two water bottles. I think the extra protein.helped me to sustain a strong bike. I very happy with the results
What would you do differently?:

Ride faster.
Transition 2

Comments:

Good transition. Had one gel.
What would you do differently?:

I couldn't get the zipper open on my jersey, so I couldn't take an ibuprofen.

Comments:

Good run. I'm very happy with it. This was also a PR for the course. I didn't take anything on the course, just used what was at aid stations. I had a cramp in my inner thigh about 1.5 miles in. Stretched it and got to the aid station. I drank gator aid and ate a pickle, it was all good after that.
What would you do differently?:

Probably not.
Post race
Warm down:

I ate a lot of watermelon. They had cold watermelon at the finish, and I couldn't eat enough of it. My guess 10 pieces and two bottles of iced tea.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

fitness.

Event comments:

It is my favorite race!. I love the bike course. The water is crystal clear, and the city is one of the best places to visit. This is a must race!
