Comments:

i felt really good with my swim, i know i wanted to go out hard and i did
What would you do differently?:

i would work more on my breathing, as i was swimming i lose focus on my breathing and i start to panic alittle, but i'm able to relax myself and get through it

Comments:

my transition was good, still have that problem of the wetsuit sticking to my heels, still need to practice...

its not that i would do anything different, i felt i did what i was supposed to do and what i was taught to do, its just i need to be faster

What would you do differently?:

i wouldn't do anything differently with my ride, it felt great and i was comfortable with it and again i just need to work on my speed
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

this transition for me was good, i was alittle hot going into the run from this point so i just poured water over my head from one of my water bottle and then took off, i didn't lose a water bottle this time...
What would you do differently?:

i wouldn't do anything different i felt good with this transition

  • 3 miles
  • 09m 25s  min/mile
Comments:

my run was not good at all,my goal is to be under a 10 minute mile, which i did, but i'm just not feeling good going into my runs in my last two races. also with this heat i felt they didn't have enough water stations
What would you do differently?:

i need to get some brick workouts in, i think if i can bring my run time down i would do much better with my overall time of my finish
Post race
Warm down:

ate some post race food (my twin's muffins) and did some stretching...

What limited your ability to perform faster:

i know for a fact that my run limited me to perform up to what i wanted to do!

Event comments:

this race was organized and there were chips used for your times but i didn't notice any chip times for your transition areas, the voluteers were great and very helpful.

Nice meeting you - my race was not as pleasurable as yours - I had a rough day as you'll see in my race report!
