 Swim
Comments: Pretty happy with it. I wish I would have worn tinted goggles. Sun was bright rounding the first buoy, had to look where other swimmers were going and hope they could see better than I could What would you do differently?: Wear tinted goggles  Transition 1
Comments: Went good, could have saved a few seconds by not having a bottle that would have leaked attached to my bottle holder. I didn't want liquid all over my bike by the time I got done with my swim (and have lost 1/3 of my water). I grabbed it off the ground, and put it in my bottle holder instead during T1. Also, forget the ensure bottle idea, the Ensure didn't work too well anyways. I'm an idiot for trying that new on race day. What would you do differently?: Bring a better bottle that won't leak liquid. Forget the ensure bottle.  Bike
Comments: DON'T DRINK ENSURE, bad idea. Cramp city. Still very happy with how I did, was able to push when I wanted to. What would you do differently?: Not bring Ensure, bring something else to eat/drink that goes down easier and doesn't taste like shit while warm. Transition 2
Comments: I forgot to just take my feet out of my shoes. I unclipped and ran with my friggin tri shoes... IDIOT. Can't run too fast with those things... probably lost a good 10-15 seconds with that mistake. What would you do differently?: Not forget to just remove feet from shoes.  Run
Comments: I did as well as I could. Made a few mistakes, like drinking Ensure that tried to come back up later on the run. I shouldn't be dumping water on me all the time, it starts making my shoes heavy. What would you do differently?: Not dump so much water on myself! Let it drain a bit so it doesn't feel heavy/strange on my feet. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Not much, I'm pretty darn happy with how I did. Last updated: 2011-01-10 12:00 AM

Not good. Was in a hurry, got going from the hotel late. Rushed through setting up transition, spilled my drink on the ground in my transition area, cleaned up with my shirt... not good. Previous 2 days eating was not good either, very bad choices. Need better eating habits before races.
Short swim, wish I could have swam longer, and included a warmup run.
