What would you do differently?: tuck my watch under my wetsuit sleeve.  Transition 1
Comments: Took forever to get wetsuit off. And to think when they were trying to get me to buy one size smaller for the perfect fit. It takes me 15 minutes to put the thing on and seems like just as long to get the damn thing off. Oh how I miss the wetsuit strippers in an IM. I couldn't get my left foot into my shoe on the bike. When pedaling on top of the shoes I smashed the shoe flat (typical), but the shoe wouldn't open up for me. I nearly coasted to a complete stop while getting it in....all the while my sunglasses were completely fogged up and I couldn't see. OMG, were their some "non family" language in my head and some "under breadth" I'm sure. Just terrible, and pissed me off! What would you do differently?: May consider cutting a little length off of the legs on my suit to help get it off easier.  Bike
What would you do differently?: push the middle more Transition 2
Comments: Couldn't roll my socks on, which cost me about 15 - 20 seconds. What would you do differently?: bring a chair so I can sit down....J/k  Run
Comments: A couple folks look like they only did 1 lap (unless they are 2:05 marathoners). They were DQ'd, so I didn't include them in the overall ranking. Pleased with my run and wish there were a couple guys I spotted to go after, but it was so hard to figure out where folks were at with the wave starts. Nutritian was good and didn't have any issues. What would you do differently?: maybe push the middle a bit more. Post race
Event comments: Didn't like the lines to weigh in. Rushed my pre-race prep. Last updated: 2008-09-23 12:00 AM

Expert  910  North Metro ATL | Subject: RE: South Carolina Half LOL that you keep the non family language in your head. I'll have to keep that in mind if you ever get bored and want to ride really slow with me again as I don't keep the non family language in my head. What a solid performance! Stay focused and I am sure IMFL will be your ticket |

Elite 3658 Roswell, GA | Subject: RE: South Carolina Half Fast. Just fast. Maybe you could turn the Garmin on in T1 and let it sync while you are on the bike. Anyway, great race. |

Member 39 Lawrenceville, GA | Subject: RE: South Carolina Half That is an incredible effort all the way through. Maybe you can teach me how to swim and run! Thanks for the sock recommendation - I've got to try something. You really gotta get out of my AG! See you in Panama City in a few weeks. Good luck. |

I was a wait lister and didn't find out I had a spot in the race until Tuesday, 5 days, before the race. No big deal because I hadn't planned a taper for this race anyway, but I couldn't find a hotel room and had to drive up in the morning. Got up at 2:15, so my typical pre-race food needed to be modified. Added a bagel and cliff bar enroute as I was getting hungry.
about 200 yard swim. The whole weigh in line took way too long. Not sure why they didn't do the weigh in at registration like they do at Rock N' Rollman in Macon. I think someone screwed up, and forgot. Anyway this line pushed my whole timing off and I didn't get a proper warmup.
