Comments:

I had every intention of swimming on the outside to get some clear water, but got stuck on the inside. I accidentally swam over a couple people that I failed to see (sorry, and please don't hate me).
What would you do differently?:

Should have broken to the outside from the beginning to stay out of traffic.
Transition 1
  • 01m 57s
Comments:

Long uphill run to T1. Wasn't worth the risk of a flying mount, because IM Louisville is 6 weeks away.
What would you do differently?:

My run up the hill was disappointing. I am dealing with an achilles injury, and didn't have much of a choice to run slow.

Transition 2
  • 01m 23s
Comments:

Got lost for a moment, and lost a lot of time putting on a neoprene ankle brace.
What would you do differently?:

Memorize my location in transition. There was a giant alphabet letter at the end of each rack, so there was really no excuse.
Run
  • 29m 30s
  • 3.25 miles
  • 09m 04s  min/mile
Comments:

Disaster of a run. My injured achilles reduced me to a walk on uphills. I also had pinching sensations around the injury the last 1/2 mile, and had to walk some of that too.
What would you do differently?:

Should not have raced injured.
