Swim
Comments: Great start. You stand in water about chest-deep before the start. Had time to get acclimated. Nice clean sandy surface at the start and finish. What would you do differently?: For me, I need to practice in a wetsuit more often. Transition 1
Comments: Nice set-up. Definitely had the athletes in mind with the transition set-up. Straight in and out. T1 is a nice little jog from the swim. This is good for me. It gives me time to get my legs back before getting on the bike. What would you do differently?: Practice running out of the water. Bike
Comments: I like the variety on the course. Spent lots of time out of the saddle pushing up the rollers. Felt good and fun at the time. What would you do differently?: Ease off the rollers and save more for the run. Transition 2
Comments: Good. Straight in and out. What would you do differently?: Put on socks. Run
Comments: Good aid stations. Plenty to eat, gels, gatorade, pickle juice etc. By time I started the run the sun was shining bright, so, the shaded course was very nice. I also like the down and back because I get to see the race leaders (they are finishing just as I start). I took in plenty of pickle juice and never cramped. What would you do differently?: Adjust my training (more bricks) and go a little easier on the bike course and first half of the run. Last two miles, although flat, were painful. Post race
Warm down: Normal. What limited your ability to perform faster: Need more practice and training. Event comments: Great post-race. Provided burgers for participants and spectators. Had a big tent with tables and chairs, plenty for both participants and spectators. Plenty of port-a-cans. The finisher's medals are first class. Last updated: 2012-10-22 12:00 AM
