 Swim
What would you do differently?: Start with a little slower pace. Use bilateral breathing to make sighting easier.  Transition 1
Comments: Seemed good with the stool provided. Did not realize I spent so much time in transition. What would you do differently?: Set up equipment better. Don't spend time drinking water. Put on socks.  Bike
Comments: I brought a spare tube kit in my extra bottle space. I should have used it for water. I had one bottle of Gaterade and water mixed. Only drank 2/3 of it over the entire course What would you do differently?: Bring water and finish it on the bike ride in addition to the mix. Use the gel before getting off the bike. Transition 2
What would you do differently?: Be hydrated so I don't need to stop and drink in transition. Think about bringing water bottle on the run.  Run
Comments: The trail had some soft sand since the Sprint runners and most of the Olympic runners were there ahead of me. I started off with a 10:30 pace for the first mile. Ended up walking a lot of the second have of the race. Seemed to run out of steam just short of the 3 mile mark. Started walking and running. Did a lot of walking the last 3 miles but did run the last 1/4 mile. What would you do differently?: Run a smarter pace. Start at a slower pace that is sustainable for the entire distance. Post race
Warm down: Walked for 10 minutes. Drank water and ate banana, roll with peanut butter and a danish. What limited your ability to perform faster: I think I became dehydrated while on the bike and didn't pay attention to my pace being to fast on the run. Event comments: Loved the location of the event. I will do it again. Last updated: 2012-03-26 12:00 AM

Expert 1210 Near Tampa | Subject: RE: HITS Triathlon Series: Ocala - Olympic Course man, you finished right after me - i remember you, Great race! very good observation for the water on bike, you can always strap a tube with electrical tape behind the seat. unusually, there were no water stations on the bike, i did ride with 2 and timed it well but if it had been any warmer, I may have tripped on the same issue. |

Local race 30 minute drive from house. Got to transition about 6:20 AM and set up everything. New many participants since it was a local race so spent time talking with them. Went down and watched the Sprint swimmers start.
Got in the water and swam for a short distance. Talked to more people as we waited for the start. Got towards the back of the group.
