![]() Swim
Comments: Really felt dizzy in the water. Not sure if this was from exertion, anxiety or something to do with my ears. What would you do differently?: Spend more time in the water. Just haven't been diligent with my swims lately. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Difficult to catch breath at first & get up to speed. Extra long run from swim up hill to transition as water so low this year. Suit stuck on R heel. What would you do differently?: Perhaps try the jump on bike thing, but I fear I will have to practice it a lot before I will be comfortable with trying it in a race. ![]() Bike
Comments: Felt like I picked up pace once I recovered from the swim. What would you do differently?: Spend more time on the bike. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Felt good about transition to run especially as I decided to try wearing my Vibram's for the run. Got toes in pretty quick. What would you do differently?: Maybe try the jumping off moving bike and riding on shoe thing. Again this will require lots of practice before comfortable trying it in a race. ![]() Run
Comments: Didn't run as well as I'd hoped. What would you do differently?: Fuel better. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Got goodies, gathered up stuff and drove home. Tried to eat, but again tummy is off so only managed a few bites of my Subway sandwich. What limited your ability to perform faster: I feel like I just didn't have the fuel I needed. Didn't sleep well night before and came off nights day before race, didn't eat much food & felt dehydrated. Had taken Aleve as struggling with the kink in my neck for the past week. Also, I have spent less time swimming/biking/running as I have been working Crossfit into routine. Event comments: 2:22:20.2, Bib # 460, 28 c, sunny, 47% humidity, 11mph E wind, Unfortunately the roads were rough & the water was quite low which effected the course, but still a good race.

Got up & loaded gear into truck, had toast with peanut butter, picked up coffee & breakfast sandwich on the way, but couldn't eat much of either, sipped on water with Nuun. Set up transition area.
Went down to water and got wet.
