I am not sure this was a half mile since my time was almost 3 minutes faster than Nanticoke. Swim was ok. i never really was comfortable and I was extra winded when I was done. I was still congested so I am sure that was a reason.

None.

Did my usual routine. I just need to pick up the pace.

Go faster.

The course started in a gravel parking lot....not a good idea. I heard there was some glass on the course and people were getting alot of flats. I had an issues with my aero bottle and I had to stop and fix it or it would have flown off the bike. That cost me at least a minute. Speed was ok but again I never felt comfortable the entire time.

Nothing...except not be sick.

No problems here.

Go faster and get under 1:00.

I blew up here. The run is where I catch everyone but I had nothing. I ran 20:02 for 3 miles at Nanticoke so this was a big disappointment. Being sick took it's toll on me and I was not prepared for its effects.

Not be sick.

Hung out in shade for a bit, packed my gear and split.


Being sick.


I was not impressed with the organizers. One person checking people in, no swimcaps, no body marking, allowing people to wear ipods during the race, etc. I understand wanting to be laid back for 1st timers but this was the worst I have seen. I may do it again but improvement is needed. On to Eagleman!!
