Comments:

Way too many people clogging everything up...never got into a rhythm just slugged it out. Swam to shallows and walked in. HR was around 165. A tad high for my liking.

What would you do differently?:

Swim faster and try to remain calm.

Took it a little easy on this transition. It's a little long but I was trying to get my HR down a little.

I felt I did better in this than my time shows... I pushed it hard all the way around trying to make some time. Overall not bad...Only got passed by one person right at the end.

Go faster

Comments:

Ok transition. Went sock less so i just had to breathe and put on my shoes. Had one gel and a way we go.

What would you do differently?:

Go faster

Run

26m 16s
3.1 miles
08m 28s min/mile

Comments:

I took off fast probably since I could not feel my feet...just took it easy until I got to top of Hamann hill. Then I picked it up all the way home. Got passed by a total of 4 people. Definitely my slowest portion of the race and where I lose time to the field...

What would you do differently?:

Run faster!

Post race

Warm down:

Chilled out and watched, cheered the finishers and the Oly bikers coming in.

What limited your ability to perform faster:
