 Swim
Comments: Swim was ok. I felt like the swim was a little longer. My watch had it as .99 instead of .93. I also heard a few others saying the same thing. What would you do differently?: Train harder for the swim. I definitely have room for improvement.  Transition 1
Comments: Transition was ok. I have to get faster at taking off the wetsuit. Found myself wasting time checking to make sure I had everything. What would you do differently?: Practice my transition a little more  Bike
Comments: First time racing on my tri bike. Faster than last year, but I still think I can go much faster. I was a little nervous on certain parts of the course due to the wet pavement. I found myself out of the aero position and on the brakes. What would you do differently?: Train harder. I didn't put in enough bike training. I need to be riding the race distance or longer on more rides Transition 2
Comments: Fairly pleased with this transition. My right quad and stomach muscles cramped a little while bending down to get my shoes so I had to stand quickly. I also found myself double checking before leaving. What would you do differently?: Practice transition. Make sure I am confident I have everything.  Run
Comments: I improved from last year, but I still think I can do much better. I felt pretty good until mile 3. After tacking the neighborhood my quads started to cramp a little. I was able to push through it and was happy overall with the run. What would you do differently?: Train harder and actually run hills prior to the race. Post race
Warm down: Nothing. Spent time with family and friends. What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of training. I have to log longer training workout if I want to perform the way I think I am capable. Event comments: I love this race and can't wait to do it next year. I missed doing it with J, but excited to know he'll be back for next year. Last updated: 2013-01-16 12:00 AM

Had alarm set for 4:40am, but didn't need it as I was wide awake at 3:00am. Got out of bed at 4:30. Had two pieces of peanut butter toast and started sipping a bottle of EFS. Got to transition area around 5:40. Next year I would like to be there a little earlier. Got to see my family and friends before the race, which is always great.
No warmup. Just light stretching
