 Swim
Comments: Would have been better but for the crappy course. Started in the blender -- trying to aim mostly at the turn bouy and keep majority of bouys to the left. Lot of rough contact for the first half of the swim. Took a long time to settle in to my stroke  Transition 1
Comments: Overall pretty good but can still optimize 9/58 == 15% 79/339 == 23% What would you do differently?: Practice more  Bike
Comments: Overall pretty happy with the bike What would you do differently?: Go faster Transition 2
Comments: Need to work on bike Transition What would you do differently?: Practice T1 and T2 before a sprint  Run
Comments: Nursing source achilies tends so was not in the best run shape; having not run in weeks. Overall legs held up once back and legs opened up on run - first .5 was torture but I got thru it. Post race
Warm down: Fluids ( did not drink or eat on the run) only sipped at the infinit on the bike What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of training and stressful week at work Event comments: http://www.setupevents.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=event_results&id=35... http://www.setupevents.com/files/Latta13Web_Male_AgeGroup.HTM Last updated: 2013-04-19 12:00 AM

Couple of firsts on this race, staying at our house vs up at the lake, no Alice at the race (either racing or spectating).
Got up @ 4:!5am , ate a half a PB sandwhich, a banana and some grapefruit juice. Made coffee but did not drink much of it.
Did my back exercises and hit the foam roller. Back and hamstrings were tight but not too bad.
Left house for race site about 4:45-4:50am
Got to event site, ran into traffic going into Latta...which took about ~20mins to navigate. Was the last of ~15cars to park. Next time I'll need to leave a bit earlier... amazing difference that a few minutes makes at Latta parking.
Road bike the mile or so down into transition, racked the bike, picked up the chip and got marked. Went back to transition chatted up Pete, Chris and Scott then setup my transition. Wanted to do a warm up run but also needed T0. Elected to do T0 first which given there were only 5 port-o-johns and the bathrooms were locked, took ~45mins. That ate up all the warm up time and mental mapping of transition. Used the move from T1 to water as warm up, which worked pretty well but not ideal.
