Run
Comments: I knew I had to take it easy on the run and not set off anything in my neck. I ran a very controlled, medium effort pace and just ran my own race. What would you do differently?: I personally do not care for the trail portion as there is nearly zero chance to pass a slower runner and the route is full of roots and slippery pipe sections. Transition 1
Comments: I had a nice Transition with a flying mount but then had difficulty getting clipped in. Right cleat would not lock on the pedal. What would you do differently?: I ordered new cleats as my current ones are really worn down. Bike
Comments: A loss in fitness after nearly 6 weeks of doing almost nothing so my neck can recover really hurt me on the climbs. I threw my chain at 7.5 miles... to the outside which forced me to stop and dismount to fix. I consumed 2/3 of a bottle of Fluid Performance Citrus (review coming) and some Cherry Blossom Honey Stinger chews. What would you do differently?: Not throw chain on shift and not get injured prior to racing. Transition 2
Comments: I had a good T2... even steady effort. What would you do differently?: Practice. Run
Comments: Given a lack of training never mind a lack of brick workouts really showed itself on the 2nd run. Legs were heavy coming off of the bike but I continued to press on. Again... do not care for the trail portion.... had to make a couple of passes in the woods. What would you do differently?: Move route to the road. Get in some brick workouts. Post race
Warm down: Water and a banana followed by some Fluid Recovery! What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of training due to injury. Event comments: My first multisport event as a TheTriShop.com team member. LOVED the new kit! Last updated: 2013-02-11 12:00 AM

Up early for the drive to Birmingham. Was thrilled to have my son with me... stopped for doughnuts for him while I had some fruit oatmeal and coffee for the drive.
Virtually nothing other than Transition setup. I had a Vanilla GU and some water 20 minutes before the start.
