Timing chip strap almost came off half way into the first lap, so I had to stop and take it off and hold it in my hand for the rest of the first lap. Put it back on once I was out of water, but came off again when i jumped in the water. thankfully someone saw it and give it to me. wasted a few minutes here. i will be getting my own strap before next race. the one i had looked like it could fit on an elephant.

Not have timing chip issue and not be sick all week leading up to event.

need to work on this

be faster

Headwind was tough, but thankfully turned into a tailwind for last half of each lap.

Pedal faster

took too long getting all my gear together

SUCKED !!! Got a mile into run and didn't have any juice left. Hamstrings were really tight and I had to keep stopping to strech them.

Again, not be sick the whole week leading up to race. I got in some long runs leading up to this race and was hoping to do better. Energy level for whole race was low.

Waited for transition to open up


Being sick and not getting enough calories/nutrition on the bike


Great race! Only two improvements would be to have a port-a-john right at the run out and have a central houston packet pickup during the week.
