Comments: There was way too much drafting going on in this race. The lead 4-7 guys were in a team time trial formation almost everytime I saw them on course. I actually sat up and yelled at a guy behind me to pass or get off my wheel...very annoying! There were no course officials to enforce drafting penalties and with the RD selling it as a fun race, the "you're only cheating yourself" mantra only goes so far... What would you do differently?: Maybe shoot for a more even pace. I was 22+ in the first lap, mid 20-21.5 in the second lap, and 20ish (or much less in the climbes) in the thrid lap. Transition 2
Comments: T2 was hot! When I was changing shoes and stepped on the pavement, my feet were quite literaly burning! What would you do differently?: I don't really flying dismount, and haven't practiced it, so, nothing. Run
Comments: I carried a water bottle for the entire run, and this was the only reason I was able to run well. I filled my bottle at almost every aid station to keep a supply of cold water to drink and dump on myself between aid stations. It was extremely hot out there. What would you do differently?: Not much, this was one of my better 1/2IM run performances. I could have eaten more and taken more salt. I really only took in enough calories/electrolytes to keep my muscles from feeling crampy. Post race
Warm down: Walking Cold Towel Cold Shower No Massage was available Event comments: Great race, but with little support from the regional authorities the Race Director said he may not do the race again next year...that would be a shame, because he put on a great race.
