![]() Swim
Comments: Swim was slow. We got in the water and then had to tread water for 12-15 minutes while the highway was opened for the ride. Really affected my start. Also, the first 1/3 was really crowded with no open water. Hard to get a clear line, and just had to go slow till we got through the bridge. As we got out, seemed to take forever to get to the turn-around. But once I did, had a good swim coming back, but knew my swim time would suffer. What would you do differently?: Train more. That's all folks. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Transition was huge. Long run from water, and the largest transition area I've ever seen. I was caddy-corner from the bikeout, so had a super long run. What would you do differently?: Nothing. ![]() Bike
Comments: I didn't get to train much outside this year, and was very under-trained for this ride. Held 20+ the whole ride, so was happy with my results here. What would you do differently?: Get out and ride more. ![]() Transition 2
![]() Run
Comments: Again, probably could have trained more, and lose the extra 10-15 I'm carrying. Started to really feel the pain around mile 4. Just kept dragging on. What would you do differently?: Train more. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Just walked around, got some fluids and waited for transition to open so I could get my bike. What limited your ability to perform faster: Changing jobs, and not training enough. Event comments: Nationals is awesome. Great experience. Lots of really fast people. It's hard going into a race where you know you don't have a chance to do well. But it was fun racing, and taking the time to see the whole course, not just hammer a result. Best part of the day was getting my medal from Chrissie Wellington. She is awesome. Fun race and would definitely do it again if I qualified. Milwaukee put on a great event and was very happy to be part of it. Last updated: 2013-05-28 12:00 AM

Got up early. Had a muffin and headed to the race. Found some parking and walked to the race. Then just waited to set-up transition.
Went for a 1/2 mile run,then gathered swim stuff and waited at the dock. Finally got in a short warm-up swim.
