 Swim
Comments: There are just bodies everywhere in a mass start. We started right in the middle which was a mistake. It was impossible to draft since the group never thinned during the course. What would you do differently?: Start at the front. Round the turn bouys wider.  Transition 1
Comments: Wetsuit strippers are awesome. The water was freezing cold so it was tough to get acclimated and gather my thoughts in transition. I had a really hard timing getting warm. What would you do differently?: Focus more on the next part of the event and move faster with a plan.  Bike
Comments: I gave it away in the bike. I could have gone much harder than I did. The course was relatively easy and I never really struggled probably because I never really pushed my pace. What would you do differently?: Go harder and keep HR around 150 instead of 140. Transition 2
Comments: AGain, there was no focus on my part in transition. What would you do differently?: Focus  Run
Comments: The first part of the run was great and I was able to hold around 9:30 for the first 8 miles. The second lap was good and I lost time changing socks at mile 13. At the end I was having a tough time and had to negotiate to keep running no matter how slow I was going. What would you do differently?: Get better shoes and socks and not give up 5 minutes changing socks. Post race

Got up early (because I really couldn't sleep) and ate a bowl of oatmeal. Went back to bed and tried to relax and think about the race and having an easy day. Packed up the car around 4:00 and drove to the race site. Pumped tires, loaded nutrition and changed out some gear in my bags. Walked around and talked to a few people. Sipped some gatorade and ate half a gu before getting to line up for the swim.
Mostly walking around and shivering in the cold.
