Swim
Comments: The first turn bouy is about 100y away. I usually swim pretty straight and I had line up to take it about 5ft wide. I put my head down and took about 15 strokes then ended up right on the bouy. I got a good beat down. I think I was vertical for a long time and couldnt get away from it all. I think it cost me about 10-15 seconds. I should have started closer to the front than I did also. After that the rest of the swim went well. Also the posted times are wrong and off by 2:00 min. The 9:57 is per my garmin and exactly 2:00 min slower than website. What would you do differently?: Not take the first tour bouy tight. Transition 1
Comments: 3/22 ranked T1 went good. Need to get the shoes on better once on the bike. What would you do differently?: Nothing Bike
Comments: Road this one blind. Bike computer was out and the garmin was full of water on the screen and fogged. Should have pushed it a little more. Took about 2-3 min to get the HR down and feeling good. New self made water bottle worked great. Next is to keep that drink cold because that crap tastes horrible hot. Transition 2
Comments: 3/22 Just to run faster heading out, other than that I will take 3 of my AG anytime. Run
Comments: Felt ok to start legs were a little tight. Started about a 9:30 pace for 1/2 mi then dropped it to 8:50. At about the 1.5 mi mark I was just dead. Legs were ok but I was gassed couldnt breath. Really disappointed as I walked at 3 different times. Legs were ready to go but the lungs just couldnt keep up. I think the heat got to me more than I realized during the race. Need to get the mind right and just run a slower continous pace than run and have to walk when things just arent going right. What would you do differently?: I think I need to start wearing a hat to run in also. Start a little slower and drop the pace less. Post race
Warm down: Sat down in shade What limited your ability to perform faster: Small let down on the run. I just dont think I got to show my true run level. 3 weeks ago I was 8:55 pace at TexasMan and felt good after the run. Oh well there is always another race to have fun at.
