 Swim
Comments: Started out strong - maybe too fast? Lost my breathing about 100m - 200m into the swim and struggled for the next 200m... had a strong stretch going into the finish. Very calm water, but the wave was jam packed for this course (good training for upcoming HIM & IM races) What would you do differently?: Not sure what really went wrong... Maybe start out a little easier and build up to the faster pace I thought for sure I could swim.  Transition 1
Comments: long run from water to bike and then to mount bike... but overall I had a good transition. What would you do differently?: nothing...  Bike
Comments: The bike started out well and had some GREAT moments in there... was pushing 26mph for a couple miles and felt good, until left calf began to cramp! Slowed, tried to stretch and kept hammerin' I call this just an avg bike. Cadence meter wasn't working... knocked out of alignment, so I didn't know what my cadence was...that was a little frustrating for me... I like to see my cadence in relation to my gear choice. What would you do differently?: Endurolytes before the swim... help with cramping during the bike and run... Transition 2
Comments: The bike next to mine fell over when I racked my bike... wasted a few seconds picking the guys bike up who was NOT racked properly! What would you do differently?: nothing really... in & out nicely!  Run
Comments: Pushed as hard as I could on this day! Not my best run, but still very solid! What would you do differently?: nothing... Post race
Warm down: Some stretching, food and a beer! What limited your ability to perform faster: Not sure... a week off prior to the event? the stress of the week prior? morning race routine out of whack? Not really sure!!! Event comments: This is a great race in the Houston area. The swim course was a little tight for a 100 swimmer wave... but that is my only some-what negative remark about this event! I will probably race this event again in the future!
