Swim
Comments: Nothing too much to say. Felt like there was a little bit of current against us, and the distances must be off, because otherwise I did the first 1000 Meters in 15:19 and the next 500 in 10:10, or there was a current or something else affecting us quite a bit in one part and not the other. Transition 1
Comments: A little slow. Didn't mess around much, but had a little trouble with one shoe and getting my helmet secured. Bike
Comments: There were some very rough sections, and rough railroad tracks we crossed twice. Other times we were crossing roads that were under construction, so some big bumps there too. One time managed to knock my second water bottle out of its cage and onto the roadway, hence why my hydration was not what it should have been. Aside from that, still held a pace I am very happy with. Incredibly flat course, which was nice, although it also means no breaks. Handlebars got rotated slightly a couple times on some of the bumps, but I was able to fix it while riding. Transition 2
Comments: Got feet on top of the shoes way early (wasn't really sure where dismount was, just knew where the turn off was after the second loop. Got close to the dismount line and someone cut in front of me and I wasn't comfortable attempting the flying dismount so I just stopped and hopped off regularly. Run
Comments: Died after 2 miles. Legs were not giving anymore. I must have looked like crap, because a few volunteers kept asking if I was alright. I didn't feel that bad (although I did feel close to puking a few times). Just didn't have any energy in the legs at this point. Going to blame an all day session outside and on my feet yesterday for that. Was happy I was able to hammer the bike at least. Post race
Warm down: Lots of fluids. Definitely was dehydrated, and I think I started off that way too. Last updated: 2011-02-13 12:00 AM
