No wetsuit used for this one. Used my trisuit and it worked perfect.
What would you do differently?:

I wish I put my vest on right side out. Then I could have gotten my sleeves and gloves.

Good ride for the conditions. The roads were in pretty good shape and the traffic was well controled at intersections
What would you do differently?:

I think I would have liked the sleeves and the gloves to keep me a bit warmer. I wish I pushed it a bit harder on the last 2 or so miles, I think I started to get into a comfortable position and just went with it until the last .75 miles where I started to push hard to keep up with the 2 guys in front of me.
Transition 2
  • 01m 17s
Comments:

Good transition, I still cant run w/o socks so I had a bit of trouble getting them on while my fingers were still numb.
What would you do differently?:

I think it will be better to put the socks on after the swim to save time in T2. I think still being warm from the pool would have helped my fingers work a bit better.
Run
  • 21m 20s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 06m 53s  min/mile
What would you do differently?:

I think I would have not started out of T2 so fast. I was so amped up that I flew off the bike hoping to catch the guys in front of me. I think I uses a bit too much too fast and didnt save reserves for a real hard push at the finish.

Event comments:

Good overall race. I think that a sprint is much too short for me. I get too amped and think I can fly on the easy course but end up falling a bit short of what I wanted.
