Comments: I liked the wave start as people went across the timing mat...rather than a huge start of 300+ people all at once, that gets a little rough. I found this out last year at a different race starting at the front and getting rolled over by about 100 people... What would you do differently?: Push a little harder. I had plenty left when I hit the shore. Transition 1
Comments: Had a heck of a time getting clipped into my bike pedals What would you do differently?: Think about starting with shoes on the pedals. Bike
Comments: I pushed it really hard on the bike. I had just got a new bike and I wanted to push it and see what it could do on race day...over 25 mph average means it lives up to it's name....white lightning... What would you do differently?: Not too much...other than drink more. Transition 2
Comments: I felt quick enough...I finally took a gulp of water after not touching it the whole ride What would you do differently?: Drink on the ride. Run
Comments: My legs were gone off the bike...almost felt like my calves were going to cramp up...so I took a lot of water and ran at an easy pace...as the race went on I ran faster the next two miles. What would you do differently?: drink more coming off the bike or even on the bike so my calves wouldn't be so likely to cramp coming off the bike. Post race
Warm down: a few cups of water and a banana and then into the lake for a few minutes to cool off. What limited your ability to perform faster: time away from wife & kids. Event comments: I like the layout of the race and will probably do it again in the future. Last updated: 2012-06-18 12:00 AM
