Comments:

The water was real cold - but it didn't bother me too badly this time (did 2 practice swims last week). Still have one hell of a time getting a rythym and breathing in this cold of water. I belive that I was about 6 or 7 from last out of the water.
What would you do differently?:

Better wetsuit, more open water swimming, and get a coach to help me over this "plataue".

Issues with socks, and with tri-top. Long transistion due to almost 2 minute run up the boat ramp to the area

Nothing - everything went well

Ran a real good race, maybe a little too hard due to run issues. First race on my new bike, and it was really fun passing people (actually blowing by them was a better description).
What would you do differently?:

Nothing - a great race, passed a lot of riders

Comments:

Lots of calf cramping the first 1/2 mile or so - had to do lots of walking. Got some water down, and things loosened up a bit. Last half of run went well, passed two people right at the end, one of them came back and we had a "sprint to the death" at the end. Not sure who won, it was real close
What would you do differently?:

Do more hard bike/run bricks in the hills.
Post race
Warm down:

Walking, endurox recovery drink, oranges

What limited your ability to perform faster:

training!!!

Event comments:

The racer organizers do a fantastic job - will be back next year!!!!
