not the best swim, need to practice more, not that I didnt perform on the score but I did not meet my expectations.

swim, practice the course,

didnt realise i had to run alongside bike for that distance, bike slipped off hand during that.

practice jump mount as well as leaving shoes on pedals.
learn to run alongside bike with turns, etc - seen it done by hanging on by the bike seat.

i started chasing and passing the next guy as much as I could, this Pirate chick and another guy and myself were pretty much pacing each other and were able to put good times.

practice tight turns, work on cadence

thisw was a very fast transition, everything was set and I hit the run hard

nothing

legs did not fire until I got to the asphalt, it was very uncomfortable. I was able to pick up the pace again on the asphalt and joined pirate chick and one of her friends until the last water station where they stopped for water and I sped up to chase the next guy in line. Once I got tohim, very close to the finish line, i asked him to speed up and join me but he did not respond. it was a great and strong finish for me

do more bricks, practice more trail running.

warm down????


swim: freaking out
run: getting legs to fire from the get go.


it was a little disorganized, i think they should have pay more attention to the tides although i am not sure it was due to the long FL drought. The use of timing chips is FANTASTIC. The awards were havoc, i think they could have done much better by doing holding off on the awards, and analyzing the data during the kids' event. I loved the proximity to my home, and I appreciate the organizers adding variety to the series, and I would do it again next year even if everything stays the same. I learned a lot about my skills, and myself. aThis was my second race ever and I see where I need to improve.
