Traded speed for drafting and energy conservation. Bad trade because I followed someone slower than me.

What would you do differently?:

Find someone faster to draft

loooong run to T1 from swim exit

Last hill killed my average speed- I hit the climb at 20.1mph average and eneded the climb at 19.8, ack! Hammered the last 1.5 miles into T2 to get it back to 20, but fell short by 0.11

What would you do differently?:

Save some energy for the set of tough climbs in the last 5K

T2 was a mess because I forgot to get my feet out before the dismount line

Comments:

Took it very easy on the front 3.1mi (37:12) to see how my calf was feeling. I hit the turnaround with lots of juice and NO pain in my leg... so I dropped the hammer and turned a 21:32 on the back 3.1mi.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing

Post race

Warm down:

ice cream, ice cream, ice cream

What limited your ability to perform faster:

this race was slow by design, I was testing my leg, and it did well.
