Overall pretty good. Adrenaline was pumping at go so my pace was off at start. Got my rhythym back after 2nd lap for a strong finish.

Take it easier on first few laps and build to a faster finish.

I sat down to put my shoes on which was a mistake because it felt good to sit. I also forgot to put my computer on my bike before hand so I rode without it.

Remember to set up computer and stand to put on shoes.

The course must have been a little longer than 12.5 because everyone's pace was about a mph faster. I did the math and estimated that the course was closer to 13.15 miles. Official race results read my pace to be 16.4 mph.

Take hills better.

Again I sat down to change shoes. I also forgot to take off my gloves so I had to stowe them in my gel pocket on the suit for the run.

Stand to change shoes and remember to remove gloves.

The run is were I had my best rankings and it's my least favorite to train for and race...go figure. Calves hurt more than theighs this go so that was different. I think the run must have been shorter than 3.1 because the times were off here as well. 8:07 min/m.

Learn to enjoy the run more. It is the LAST leg of the race after all.

Walk it off, walk it off. Got nauscious just after crossing the finish, but was okay after some water.


Muscle fatigue more than endurance.


Really the only thing that irked me about this race was the packet pick-up situation. That's a long way to drive the day before the race if you don't live near Flower Mound. I almost didn't make it between 1-6 pm and I wouldn't have been able to race. I hope no one didn't get to race because of that.
