See above. I guess 34 people in front of me managed, so I need how to deal witht he open water swimming better.

Clean my goggles better, not be afraid to bust out some of my high speed version of the breaststroke when I get tired.

Swim faster.

I felt my lower back twinge when leaning over to get my wetsuit off my legs. Lesson: for me it is worth it to just sit down for this.

Also, I should of had my shirt on under my wetsuit. Too hard to put on when all wet and in a hurry.

Left my socks off - got a small blister but it was not a problem.

Should have had a GU before I took off. Its hard to remember when you are tired and in a hurry.

should hav ebeen through in 2:30 min or less

Sore back was not fun for the 1st half mile. Pretty much rode hard after that. There was a lot of wind when going south. I might have drifted a couple of times mentally (not pushing hard enough). I thought I did better than my time indicated. I felt good about it though!

Get aero bars and bottle.

Had a good T2. I wrapped my right calf which ended up being a waste of time.

??

I had a major cramp im my left calf which surprised the heck out of me because my right leg has been the culprit lately. It took almost the 1st mile to run thrugh it until it was totally relaxed. I was bummed. Mile 3 felt really good and I finished strong (for me).

Hydrate better during bike, and start taking better mix of nutrients.

Light strectching. Leg tightened up pretty fast after race - should have got a massage.


Swim technique and calf issues.


It was a great event, I just struggle more than I thought I would on the swim/run.

Oh yeah, why don't they make all the clydes weigh in?? There were several guys who didn't look anywhere near 200 lbs....whats up with the skinny guys????
