This was the longest swim I have done, so I guess I should be satisfied that I made it through in a decent time. I really have to work out getting out fast the first couple hundred meters and staying calm.

Keep workin.

Decent T1 for me

Get better at getting feet in shoes and getting up to speed.

Probably went too hard on the bike, never got into a comfortable pace. I'm sure my heart rate would have a story to tell...

Get more fit on the bike.

T2 was sloppy. They didnt have a lane to run with your bike so everyone literally had to pick up their bike and run with it over some medians. No me gusta....

Start bitching about the sloppy organization beforehand while I piddle around for 2 hours before the race.

Can't argue with my run. This was the longest race I have done and my pace is rapidly improving. Very satisfied.

Keep working. Watch my fluid intake on the bike.

Super hot and humid, spaced out for about an hour and tried to cool down.


Is this where I get to make excuses? Hmm let's see....this is still my rookie season, I was sick the entire week before race week, and I got 3 hours of sleep the night before.

All that aside, I probably should just keep training and put in the work. That is how I will perform faster.


My first "Olympic" distance, was a good preview for how hard I need to focus for Tugaloo. Can't say that I lollygagged, pretty much left it all out there on the course.
