 Swim
Comments: There was a lot of contact throughout, and I didn't even think to check if the race was going to be wetsuit legal, which it was! So, I don't feel so bad about my time considering most people had wetsuits on. What would you do differently?: Check the water temperature!  Transition 1
Comments: I was fairly quick, and hopped on my bike pretty swiftly.  Bike
Comments: The course was so flat I was surprised! It felt good to hold a solid pace; I just wish I had gone harder! On the way out, I felt really good and was passing a lot of people, but I didn't notice that there was a tailwind, which translated to a headwind on the way back in. I can tell that everyone struggled since the averages were slower than last year. It was a fun ride! What would you do differently?: I could have pushed harder on the ride out, but I was wanting to go faster on the way back in. Maybe I'm glad I didn't with the headwind, but you never know... Transition 2
Comments: I took a little extra time to wipe the sand off my feet; I really didn't want to get halfway through the run and feel it rubbing.  Run
Comments: I loved this run. I started out keeping a solid pace, then headed into the woods and really enjoyed myself. It was hilly, and there were roots everywhere, but I really enjoyed it. The run on the trail was shady and a nice change of pace. I felt great heading back in, the best I've felt finishing a race in awhile. I think if I'd had a challenger for my position, I could've pushed a lot harder at the end, but I'm happy with feeling good. What would you do differently?: not much Post race
Warm down: took the offered cold, wet towel and relaxed in the shade What limited your ability to perform faster: not having a stupid wetsuit Event comments: I loved this race: the course was fun and challenging and everything ran like clockwork. Last updated: 2014-06-13 12:00 AM

Got to the race around 7 and set up transition.
I rode my bike for a few minutes, which I'm glad I did since I noticed my arm rest was loose. I ran just a little, and then swam for a couple minutes before the start of the race.
