A long swim... According to all the Borizones, it was about 4 minutes long. It seemed longer than 400... Also, a long run from the shore to T1... Sand was soft and run is about 1/4 mile... This time was added to the swim...
What would you do differently?:

Do the Duathalon...

I wish I would have gone faster, but I haven't really trained in 3 weeks..

Have a more controlled swim...

Comments:

A slow T2... I shudda bought speed laces for my Newtons... Instead, I had to tie the laces- which really aint that bad cause you get to catch your breath...

Still a slower than desirable T2...

What can you say about a sprint run in 90 degree weather??? It's like a Marathon....

Balls to the wall with my HR at 200+...

I was glad I broke the 8 Min/Mile barrier.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not training since Ironman and eating like a horse......

Event comments:

Fun times at this sprint... I hadn't done a sprint in ages... It was super cool to race with ALL my friends and see them spank it- including Keeks who raced today for the first time in ages....

Fun Fun Fun...
