Haven't been training swimming as hard as I should be, but overall I thought the swim went well for me. I kept swimming off to the right on the way for the first turn and was having a little difficulty getting my breathing under control. After the first turn I got into a rythym and had a nice swim to the finish. I had to kind of make a calculated guess on my swim time and T1-the swim time line must not have picked my chip up, they had my swim time at a little over an hour, but my overall time was right with my watch. So I just backed off my other times and went with the swim time I had on my watch.

Train more and smarter

Long way to my transition area, I didn't have trouble with the wetsuit. I wear bike shorts and had a little trouble getting them on and for some reason my socks were being a pain in the ass.

go faster

I was very happy with my bike

a hell of long way to the bike rack, I walked the whole way- was trying to save a little extra for the run

nothing really-walk faster?

I was disappointed with my run, wanted to average right at or a little under 11:00 min., my left calf felt weird for the first mile but after that it was okay and then my right quad start cramping had to walk up about half a hill. The last mile even though my energy level was good my quad kept threatening to cramp.

Not really sure what was with the cramps, I was well hydrated going into the race, probably should have drank more on the bike.

ate a banana and bottle of water, walked over to transition area to get my bike


Need to lose more weight-train for the swim better, drink more on the course


A good race, overall I was happy with my effort. Just need to keep taking weight off and training
