Comments:

Well, I had to pee right before race started, but didn't have time. After rounding the first bouy I figured this was now or never, so I went while swimming. Quite difficult and my apologies to anyone around me. Considering that scenario, swim went quite well.

Comments:

Bike was tough. Very hilly. One hill around mile 17 and one right before finish were the toughest.
What would you do differently?:

Ride more. I hadn't been riding much, so a good ride for me, although I felt my lack of bike fitness during the second half of the run.
Transition 2
  • 00m 50s
Comments:

I came out of my shoes when my computer was near 23 miles. However, my computer must have been off, because I was about 1/2 mile too early. I wound up having to climb a decent hill with my feet on top of my shoes.
I also grabbed a sip of gatorade at my transition area which cost me a few seconds.
What would you do differently?:

Stay in shoes longer.
Run
  • 30m 50s
  • 4 miles
  • 07m 43s  min/mile
Comments:

Tough run. Lots of ups and downs on the trails. i passed 5 or 6 people and was only passed once. I definitely struggled the second half.
What would you do differently?:

Ride more.
Post race
Warm down:

Drink gatorade water, 2 beers.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Ride more. Swim more.

Event comments:

A few tactical errors which cost me some time. Also, pushed hard on the bike given my fitness level which cost me at the end of the run.\
Overall happy with my performance.

Great job man, that was a tough course and it looked like you handled it well.

I don't think anyone noticed the extra liquid in the swim, that water was pretty gross to start with

20.46 mph on the bike is awesome in my book!  Great job on the race!
