Swim
  • 05m 43s
  • 300 yards
  • 01m 55s / 100 yards
Comments:

They added some poeple at the last minute and they were in front of me instead of the 45 second gap I expected. I lifted my head too much so I bobbed in the water a bit much. My coach and I discussed not pushing it too hard so I tried to keep things at 80-85% effort to keep my HR from spiking. I was passed once.
What would you do differently?:

Hold my form better
Transition 1
  • 00m 53s
Comments:

This was one of my best T1's. No complaints. Passed the one guy who swam by me and never saw him again.
What would you do differently?:

Might try clipping in my shoes cause Fatty recommends it to everyone that wears tri-shoes!
Bike
  • 34m 54s
  • 12 miles
  • 20.63 mile/hr
Comments:

After 0.2 miles I felt great. Pushed it here as per the plan and it felt great. Passed people constantly. Shifting went well and stayed aero at least 80% of the time.
What would you do differently?:

Get lighter.
Transition 2
  • 01m 7s
Comments:

Took a little long to change shoes but overall a good T2.
What would you do differently?:

Practice some transitions
Run
  • 27m 32s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 51s  min/mile
Comments:

It went better than Buckhorn which is what I wanted. I still do not have the running miles under me. It gets better as I get lighter. Walked to aid stations.
What would you do differently?:

Run a lot more. Funny thing is looking at the stats the guy who took first in my AG and I were 1 second aopart after T2. He crushed me with a 23:05 run. So what I knew going in was confirmed.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Weight and lack of running due to my achillies.

Way to go Doug.  You are SOOOOOOO fast on the bike!  I've thought about trying to clip my shoes in, but I don't feel confident enough at this point to try to get my feet in them and get them buckled without crashing! LOL
