Swim
  • 27m 31s
  • 1500 meters
  • 01m 50s / 100 meters
Comments:

I started out okay on the swim was working on drafting better. the left side turns were not the best, but i did okay. in the end everyone except myself and a few others cut the course short, and didn't go around the last buoys.
What would you do differently?:

next time i'll cut the course short like everyone else did too.
Transition 1
  • 02m 12s
Comments:

The transition was very far - nearly 200ms from the swim finish.
What would you do differently?:

run if i knew how far it was.
Bike
  • 1h 06m
  • 24.4 miles
  • 22.18 mile/hr
Comments:

The bike was okay - i felt tired from the doublemetric last sunday so i didn't expect much from the ride.
What would you do differently?:

ride harder , i thought the ride was 28 miles, so i was pacing more than i should have.
Transition 2
  • 01m 25s
Comments:

i went a bit slow in T2 - i should have worked on the process more... and thought about it. The truck stop threw off my game.
What would you do differently?:

practice T2 better, and know where the run/bike exists are
Run
  • 46m 24s
  • 6.3 miles
  • 07m 22s  min/mile
Comments:

I mentally was out of the game, and didn't want to run. I stopped and talked with pete for a minute about quiting and race. he made fun of me so i decided to keep going - slowly.
What would you do differently?:

get my head in the game and just run it. the course was easy, and i should have been able to run around 38 minutes.
Post race
Warm down:

walked around, and drank fluids

What limited your ability to perform faster:

i mentally didn't want to race today.. and i was tired from the double metric mountain ride last weekend.
