Swim
Comments: Finished with about an average time in the swim compared to others. Was disappointed that the swim was not the full length but safety comes first. Transition 1
Comments: Very congested transition area because nearly 400 swimmers coming in within minutes of eachother. Had a decent time anyway. Bike
Comments: Bike course was very crowded because of what happened at the swim. There was no way not to draft in the race. Kept a decent 25-26 mph pace heading out with about 7 others and back in between 19-22 mph. Drank about 20oz of water and cytomax during ride. Could have probably finished a minute or two faster but was difficult to pass slower rides at times. Transition 2
Comments: Flying dismount worked to perfection! Only issue I had was being taller it was next to impossible to rack my bike. Found it off the rack both in T1 and when i finished the race. Need taller racks! Run
Comments: Because of the delays with the swim, by the time I started running it was getting hot. Race was promoted at 6.2 miles but actually was 6.55 miles. Very nice course with plenty of aid stations and volunteers. Lots of gatorade, water and cool sponges available. Was hoping for more of a 54-55 min run portion but it was getting really hot at this point. Great run course with no traffic. What would you do differently?: Increase my mile pace by about 15 seconds. Post race
Warm down: light stretching, walking around downtown What limited your ability to perform faster: Heat on run Event comments: Great venue. Nice to see downtown packed with athletes Friday and Saturday. Everything was well within walking distance. Great for spectators. Lots of restaurants to choose from in the area. Bike and run course were great. I think others would agree only negative was the swim but nothing can be done with mother nature gets in the way. Considering the circumstances it was a great time. The race director made a good decision shortening the swim for the oly. athletes. Feel bad for those that were carried away for the HIM. Last updated: 2013-06-05 12:00 AM
