I felt fairly relaxed in the water the whole way. I couldn't find anyone with my same pace to draft off of and was able to minimize contact with others.

Nothing, I think this was a fairly good swim for me, but more time in the pool would be beneficial.

Ran easier than I could have from the beach up to the transition area. This was the first race without socks on the bike and I stumbled a bit putting my shoes on.

Practice putting on my bike shoes with wet feet.

I actually liked the course minus the few smelly parts near cow pastures and chicken farms. There were a couple of difficult hills. When facing into the headwind about mile 16-20, I checked out mentally for a bit for some reason. I guess it was because there was no one in front of me and I was feeling rather flat at that point.

Keep focus throughout the entire bike.

Great flying dismount off of the bike. I still can't run without socks, so this slowed me down a bit.

Nothing

The flat feeling continued onto the run. I didn't wear a HR monitor for this race and was glad that I didn't. I found my way into a groove and kept it up, walking at each water station for a few seconds to get some water down. I had some stomach upset issues on the run that I think were due to a too concentrated infinit solution.

Don't use as much concentration with the infinit and use gels as needed in the run.

Hydrated and ate some carbs.


Shouldn't have used a more concentrated formula than I did in training and need to keep a constant mental focus.
