 Swim
Comments: Good effort level for the swim. Nice and easy. What would you do differently?: Should have seeded myself more towards the front. I ended up swimming wide to get around most of the wave. Get a wetsuit!!  Transition 1
Comments: No suit to take off, did not leave shoes on the pedals. I have been practicing but did not feel comfortable with it on race day. What would you do differently?: Don't run so quickly out of the water.  Bike
What would you do differently?: Push just a little harder on the second loop. First loop I averaged 19mph ended up with a little less than that overall. Transition 2
Comments: Did not take my feet out of my shoes because the transition area was wet and didn't want to get my socks wet. What would you do differently?: Bike and/or run without socks.  Run
Comments: Overheated around mile 8. Cooled down with some ice but it wasn't enough. My stomach became upset from drinking too much/I was too hot. What would you do differently?: Bring my own water so I can sip and not down two or three cups at each aid station. Get ice at every aid station when it's that hot. Post race
Warm down: Post race stretch. Some walking. More stretching. What limited your ability to perform faster: HEAT. Not enough practice in hot weather, poor cooling planning. Poor hydration at times. Event comments: Not enough water stations for me, but lots for most people. I need to sip while I run or I drink too much too fast. Very hot!! Last updated: 2011-03-03 12:00 AM

Showed up at 545, a little later than I had planned but plenty early. Went over to bodymarking, already a decent line. Set up my transition area went back out to walk around a little. Ate a few Fig Newton's, and applied lots of sunscreen. Next time I need to remember to put the sunscreen on before bodymarking, my numbers were a mess. Then waited at the swim start.
Just some light walking, and stretching.
