 Swim
Comments: Water tasted fine, but I only enjoyed two gulps of the Potomac's Finest. Perrier is safe from the competition. No wetsuit due to water temps. What would you do differently?: Not wear a tri top?  Transition 1
Comments: What the heck do people do in transition? Some of the times astound me. Do people not realize that the time in transition counts? What would you do differently?: Nothing. 17th in AG. 160 overall.  Bike
Comments: I did not feel fast. Don't know why! What would you do differently?: Bike faster? More speedwork (fast rides) Transition 2
Comments: Seriously? Get the eff out of my way! I need to rack my bike and get out on the run! Wasted 3 seconds to go back and throw my glasses which were totally steamed up and in my tri top. What would you do differently?: Dump my glasses earlier. Push other racers out of my way!  Run
Comments: I thought that I could run at an average of 8:10. I was wrong :( But this was the first time that I passed more people than passed me on the run! What would you do differently?: Maybe start at 8:30 and try to negative split. Post race
Warm down: Walked around. Got food. Went to tent. What limited your ability to perform faster: 196 lbs. My own lack of natural ability. But I do rock the strategy part and the transitions. This is a PR for this race distance. Event comments: Extremely well run race. Post-race food sucked. Big time. I did not eat it, and I'll eat anything. Last updated: 2012-06-23 12:00 AM
