Swim
Comments: The mass start was CHAOS. This was the most combative start that I have EVER experienced. Wish I would have started row 1 instead of row 2... Out to first buoy total chaos, then OK. I think that next straight leg I was right where I wanted to be, drafted well, and then at the next turn LOST it into the sun and between sun, waves, and catching slower waves lost the group and fell off pace... What would you do differently?: Start more in front. Swim training would be helpful :) Transition 1
Comments: LONG transition so 1:40 seems slow, but it was partly the long run through the entire grass field. Also, my wetsuit was caught on the timing chip and I was just frustrated with the bad swim... All in all OK. Didn't do the flying mount as the mount area was small and crowded and I wanted to get on safely. Bike
Comments: I couldn't get a rhythm and never found a happy spot with cadence, speed or turnover. I feel like I should have been able to go faster but couldn't. Legs felt tight and tired the entire time. What would you do differently?: something in the lead up weeks I think. Less hills and more turnover? Transition 2
Comments: again LONG transition this time with the bike. Got to the spot and racked but the shoes got a little stuck since my feet were muddy and wet from the grass run. What would you do differently?: nothing. Did what I could Run
Comments: WOW- my fastest run EVER for an OLY?? The course was short :) But still I felt like I had a GREAT run especially since I felt terrible on the bike. The first hill was tough but everything else felt easy. YAY!! What would you do differently?: Run faster with 2 miles left instead of waiting for last mile. Post race
