Swim seeded long, 1st run start, all men, single wave about 150+/-. Got kicke afew times but that racing.

Comments:

Hit 36 mph on downhill, avg. 19 -23 mph on loop around lake. Areo position 1/2 time. Pushed hard, felt great, hit the wall on the return up hill. Didnt save enough for the return up hill at the end of the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Try to save alittle for the up hill. More areo position, more hill training.

Comments:

Worried about down hill run due to calf injury, started out with tight legs on 1st mile, had to walk for 2 mins.
What would you do differently?:

Give my calf more time to heel before a TRI. Just go all out on the run.
Post race
Warm down:

water, sports drink, walk, strech

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Calf injury 7 weeks. Started A.R.T. 3 days before TRI. Will give more time before race for ART session

Event comments:

Very nice race, hill at the end of bike is moderate. run starts off with grass and hills.
