Water was very cold and I would use a full wetsuit next time. Used 2 regular swim caps and my head was perfectly warm.

Hands were very cold after the swim and it was very hard to hold onto anything. Made putting on socks very difficult.

Pretty happy with the ride. Need more riding in the hills, though. Altitude definitely had some effect on me. Passed several people.

Comments:

Not sure why this took so long. Did switch from bike jersey to running singlet.
What would you do differently?:

Stick with one shirt for the duration of the race. Practice T1 and T2!

I'm an awful runner but not this worst this day!
What would you do differently?:

Run more in training and do more big bike>run blocks.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretching--hydrating--eating

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not enough run training. Pure and simple. Need to do more training in every discipline.

Event comments:

Beautiful course! The bike ride was simply stunning. I'm happy to have beaten my 70.3 time from Austin last year. I beat that time by roughly 40 minutes in much colder water and a much hillier (and 2 miles longer) bike ride. Will probably return in 2012.
