Swim
Comments: This was a very good swim for me. I lost the lead group early in the swim and swam alone most of the time. I was stuck in a postion where I was about a minute behind the lead group and a minute ahead of the next group. What would you do differently?: Try to stay with the lead group to draft. Might not have been about to do that anyway. Transition 1
Comments: Good T1. Suit came off easy. Bike
Comments: The website says 14.5 miles but this is actually closer to 14 miles. I had a really nice bike ride and was hammering quite comfortably. One the way back, I took a wrong turn on the first bridge. I lost about 30-45 seconds before I realized the mistake. Turned my great bike into a minor disaster. Was averaging about 24.5mph until the mistake. Finished at just over 24mph. Actual bike time should be about 34:40 What would you do differently?: Pay more attention and not take a wrong turn. Transition 2
Comments: Good T2. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Run
Comments: When I left T2, I saw several people within 1-2 minutes on the run. I started off with a fast pace and kept it going. I passed about 5-6 people and almost caught another 2. Add another 0.5 miles to the run and I would have caught them. The wrong turn on the bike cost me those two places. Overall, a very good run. What would you do differently?: Not much really. Post race
Warm down: 20 minute job around city island. I stuck around for the awards ceremony since I got second in my age group. Should have got first since the the 1st place guy was only 10 seconds ahead of me. What limited your ability to perform faster: Wrong turn on the bike Last updated: 2009-06-10 12:00 AM

Up at 4am. Usual breakfast. Packed up and left the house at 4:30am. Arrived at City Island a little before 5:30am. Checked in and set up in transition. I had about an hour to kill so I just walked around and chatted with folks.
A short run from transition to the swim start. Not much really. I probably should have done either a longer run for a 20-30 minute bike ride considering how short the event is.
