Swim
Comments: Remained careful, but everything was actually pretty smooth. Didn't really get kicked or pushed around except turning the first buoy. Just focused on long, smooth strokes & not burning too much energy. Was even able to bilateral breathe it was so calm! What would you do differently?: Nothing. Transition 1
Comments: Was slow and careful getting stuff together to make sure I didn't forget anything. What would you do differently?: Just be a little more speedy. Now that I have done it I can go a bit more confidently next time. Bike
Comments: Made sure heart rate didn't go over 155. I had specific goals relating to the run & want to make sure had enough energy to do it. There was one 36-year-old woman that I kept leap-frogging with during the ride which helped keep it interesting. She's not in my age group anyway so I don't care (LOL)! What would you do differently?: Next time I might be a little more aggressive. Transition 2
Comments: Careful movements, made sure the rest of the sand was off my feet before putting on socks. What would you do differently?: A bit faster, but was deliberately tentative today. Run
Comments: This was my big goal; to be able to jog the whole run segment without having to stop & walk. I had a lot of physical therapy on my feet and legs this year to try to reduce the pain from my R foot joint replacement, L foot plantar fasciitis & L hamstring issues. What would you do differently?: Now that I know I can do it maybe I can go a bit stronger next time. Post race
Warm down: Went back into the ocean to swim gently & let my muscles relax. Also did some walking & stretching. What limited your ability to perform faster: Staying conservative for that run goal. Still had some pain after but nothing intolerable. Event comments: Could've had more volunteers on the bike course at the intersections where where were roundabouts. Car traffic was not blocked for the race & the cars didn't always know when they were able to go between the bikers. Last updated: 2014-06-25 12:00 AM

Got up at 4:00AM to get stuff ready. Packed almost everything last night so could just get it all in the car. ~ hour drive to Fernandina Beach.
Light jogging & walking. Not too much weightbearing stuff because I didn't want my feet to hurt before I even started.
Did several out-and-backs in the ocean to get used to open water again.
