Comments:

I just kept to my slow pace that I have been running lately.

My right shoe came untied. I thought it was just a little loose, but when I got to T1 the end of the Yanks had popped off.
What would you do differently?:

Not much different other than train more and make sure that my shoe laces are tied good.

I hate this course during this time of the year. The wind is always blowing hard along the river making it difficult to go against the head wind.
What would you do differently?:

Train more outside.

I had to retie my shoes. They have popped out of some of the eyelets, so I had to rig them up to work.

My training regimen, wind, and nutrition (specifically calorie intake).

Way to get out there and crank out an early season race!  Don't sweat the perceived lack of training...you have a great season ahead Michael!

Nothing like an early season race to remind us of how our training is coming! I really dread my duathlon next weekend, I am SO not ready to race.

Great job under rough conditions!
