Comments:

My best open water swim, I went out very fast. I was gasping for air at the 200 m. point and had to settle myself down. Average HR 153.
What would you do differently?:

I might have gone out too fast, but maybe I just need to improve my conditioning.

Gel about 20 minutes prior to race start.
Transition 1
  • 01m 53s
Comments:

I made a mistake by having my chip over my wetsuit leg and it hung me up trying to get out.
What would you do differently?:

Use my ankle zippers, and keep the chip under the suit
Bike

  • 24.8 miles
  • 20.41 mile/hr
Comments:

I think my muscular endurance is my weakest link right now.
What would you do differently?:

I had a good ride, but the first lap was tough on me.
Transition 2
  • 01m 17s
Comments:

The only problem with this transition was the race volunteers were all shouting different directions. I didn't lose much time, but it was a distraction as I started my transition.
Run
  • 48m 48s
  • 6.22 miles
  • 07m 51s  min/mile
Comments:

I wore my amphipod w. two bottles. It worked really well. I had one gel 25 minutes into the run.
Post race
Warm down:

Drank a bottle of endurox r4 recovery immediately after race.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Conditioning.

Event comments:

This was a PR for me at the location and for OLY distance. I had my best swim, a solid bike and a solid run. Overall I am pleased with my effort. My two obvious areas to improve are to lose weight and hit the squats for more muscular endurance.

Max cadence 131, 159 average hr. I stopped at the loop turn off to confirm that I was doing the right thing. It probably cost me 30 seconds, but there was a lot of confusion with the contestants as to where we were to be going. There was a good bit of wind today which spent my legs and hurt my pace a little. One PowerBar sport drink bottle, one gu packet.
