Swim
Comments: Good swim overall. Could probably be faster. Got caught up a bit at the start of the women's wave trying to get around some people...I just need to force myself to the front of the start line so I don't have to deek people out for 100m. What would you do differently?: Position myself closer to the front of the start. Transition 1
Comments: Kind of slow. Slipped a bit on my wet suit. What would you do differently?: Get a better system! Bike
Comments: So...here goes...was going really well...then... I had a turn after a mild descent and I was in a big chain ring...the turn was immediately followed by a fairly steep, short climb. I tried to shift down and it wouldn't work...so I tried again and jumped my chain!!! I realised right away. The guy who was behind me on the climb said "you're chain if off!" to let me know, I said I did know and thanks and he said "bummer"...Yup bummer. Anyways got the chain back on and ran up the rest of the hill to avoid having to mount on the hill. Ugh. Lost a few minutes and a bunch of people cruised by :( Overall the pace was good and my time would have been really good...but technically difficulties hindered me! What would you do differently?: Not jump my chain! Transition 2
Comments: Had a bit of trouble getting my shoes on. The guy who won the sprint had just come in! Haha. The girl next to me in transition and I looked at one another and said "someone is already done?". What would you do differently?: Maybe my coordination was just off today. Eye-foot coordination Run
Comments: Actually didn't lose to many places overall on the run like I usually do! Pretty happy with the split but I would like to be a bit faster still. What would you do differently?: Nothing really, I felt it went fairly well. Post race
Warm down: Walked around and ate some food. What limited your ability to perform faster: Chain falling off on the bike and coordination in transition. Last updated: 2010-01-31 12:00 AM
