Swim
Comments: I started the swim too slowly - i'm use to ironman and half ironman swimming. I should have gone out much faster and forced a faster swim. What would you do differently?: Swim harder. Transition 1
Comments: Worst Transition of my life. I could not get my wetsuit over my watch, and then it was stuck on my ankle. What would you do differently?: probably think about not wearing a wetsuit for a sprint. Bike
Comments: I felt pretty relaxed on the bike. What would you do differently?: I think I could have gone faster on the bike, I didn't feel like I was pushing it at all, and since it was a sprint I should have been. Transition 2
Comments: I had a really bad T2 and gave up so much time. I was having trouble running around people to get to my spot. I also took time to get my shoes on and bib on. What would you do differently?: go faster - this is a sprint. Run
Comments: I ran slow the first mile with the hill. I was going around 7 minute pace and I really had hoped to be low 6 minutes. I was able to pick up the pace as the race went on, but I gave up way too much time. What would you do differently?: I would preview the run course before I race it next time, to see where I can pick up more speed. Post race
Warm down: Beer. What limited your ability to perform faster: I have been training at Ironman Distance, and I have an Ironman in 3 weeks. I have not been working on speed at all, and really need to in order to do well at a sprint. I also did not preview the course, and I really should have. Racing blind is stupid. Event comments: I would definitely go to Burlington VT for Nationals again. Last updated: 2012-06-28 12:00 AM

I stretched and jumped around for a bit before the swim. My swim warm up was around 2 minutes of swimming.
