I didn't swim as hard as i thought i was at the time. need to work on a faster arm turnover.

increase my output. i was cruising and not racing

maybe next time i'll try to put my helmet and glasses on while taking the suit off. just didn't even think of it at the time.

given the course i'd say i've made a lot of improvement on the bike. i rode it 1 min slower than my fastest from last season. last season was on a mostly flat course.

nothing. i did all i could do and even though the split doesn't look great the ride was awesome.

had a good transition. not to hard to put a bike up and put shoes on. i stuck my belt in my mouth and started my watch as i hit the mat. then put my watch in my mouth and put my race belt on, then put my watch on.

wipe the pebbles off the bottom of my feet.

the run was tough. i was out of breath getting on to the bike and then was out of breath getting off the bike. i had to battle a side stitch so i walked twice in the first two miles to slow my breathing and heart rate. seems that at mile 2 my legs kicked in and i was good to go. i have a few stretches in the sub 7 range and ran the back 4 miles at 7:15 avg. with the walking it came out to just sub 7:30 which i'm happy with after that bike course.

i've got to learn to run the first quarter mile or so SLOW to avoid the spiking heart rate and side stitches. no matter who is passing me. had i done that i believe i could have run some of the guys in front of me down because they were fading and coming back to me but i ran out of course to catch them.

Rev3 does it right!
