Swim
Comments: Swim time includes 1/4 mile run from swim out to entrance of transition. What would you do differently?: Felt as good as I could expect, and went 15 minutes faster than expected! More training will help performance. Transition 1
Comments: Very muddy transition. Took my time with everything so I wouldn't have issues later on. What would you do differently?: Could have moved faster, but decided to take time and keep HR down Bike
Comments: Ease back on fluids during bike to prevent upset stomach on run again. EAT MORE FOOD! What would you do differently?: Make sure to take in nutrition during ride Transition 2
Comments: Took time again because of mud. Made sure to clean feet before putting shoes on. Run
Comments: Right IT band hurt at run start and stomach felt watery. Decided to walk when I found a few others walking briskly in a group. Ran last .5-.75 mile and back cramped up and started to spasm coming to finish line. What would you do differently?: Drink less on bike so stomach doesn't get upset with lack of food. Keep jogging instead of walking to improve time. Post race
Warm down: 2 bottles of Gatorade, 2 cold towels and some walking around What limited your ability to perform faster: Improper nutrition starting before race led to stomach and energy issues later in race. Need to make sure to keep nutrition levels up. Last updated: 2014-05-17 12:00 AM
