 Swim
Comments: Paced myself fairly well and managed to get my time to within 1min of my predicted best, even though I had a major coughing fit when I got smacked in the head as I was about to take a breath and took a mouthful of water. What would you do differently?: Just the same old comment about learning to swim faster  Transition 1
Comments: The T1 time includes a fairly long run from the water to the transition area of 6:36. However, wetsuit got stuck on my heels which meant t1 was actually about 2:03! What would you do differently?: Practice getting the wetsuit off!  Bike
Comments: I was aiming for approx. 18mph with 90% HR effot and I hit 18.8mph with 90% so I think I pretty much nailed the effort level. What would you do differently?: Not a lot realy except get more saddle time Transition 2
Comments: Pretty smooth T2, maybe jumped off the bike 10ft too early but I can live with that. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Run
Comments: I was aiming for 8:27/mile pace but I had to stop a couple of times in the first 3km as my shins needed stretching out pushing my pace to 8:38/mile. This has been happening a few times since I got my new shoes, so I'm hoping it's just a case of wearing them in. What would you do differently?: Assuming the shins issue was shoe related, there was nothing I could really have done differently. If it wasn't shoe related, then I guess I have to easy off the effort on the bike a tiny bit next time. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Definitely my shins on the first 3k of the run. Event comments: Enjoyable race with a good future - this was the first time it was held. Last updated: 2012-04-05 12:00 AM

What is pretty much becoming my standard big breakfast 3 hrs before the start of the race.
I forgot some stuff in my car and had to hurry to the lake before the wave started. Since it was about a 20min walk and I had about 20mins to go I decided to gentle jog most of the way.
