Run
Transition 1
Swim
Comments: This race was a much tighter than the race I did in Kemah (Sprint) I was actually more compressed here, probably because while it was a smaller overall field, the shot start vs the waves and the small beach area we took off from made for a pretty tight starting area. I took one elbow to the mouth at about the first bouy (maybe 1/3rd through the swim). At that time I was really tight between a woman and a guy, I let the woman pass me and continued on. I need to work on my speed as I was more BOP than I thought. For my age group / Clyde I was 4 of 17 at Kemah. No AG here, but I am pretty sure I was in the bottom 10/20 %. Transition 2
Comments: Leaned on the table a bit, took over a minute, should have been less. I might have to move away from socks someday. What would you do differently?: practice more Run
Comments: I was more worn out than I should have been, this happened in Kemah after the swim as well. Luckily next week I have a bike in between to rest. I was fairly thirsty and should have had watter in transiton Post race
Warm down: Ate a bannana, waited for my wife to finish. What limited your ability to perform faster: Didn't drink anything in transition, need to warm up more on the swim. Event comments: This is perfect for those who want a easy, cheap, low intensity training race. Last updated: 2011-04-22 12:00 AM

Ate some peanut butter crackers on the way over. Had about a hour drive but with no traffic took less than 45. Took some time to stop for some water and powder to put in my shoes/socks
Ran about a mile, basically the majority of the track plus some on the little road. Swam just a few strokes to get my self wet.
