Swim
Comments: DISASTER. I was worked up about this swim because of the number of people in my wave (I estimate 100) and the distance. It was silly and I tried to get the whole MIND OVER MATTER thing but in the end my mind lost. And I wore my wetsuit - didn't need it should not have worn it. I've worn it in races twice this season and today for some reason I felt like it was choking me. Of course it wasn't but I felt like I couldn't breathe and the first 400 yards sucked. Once I rounded the "candy corn" buoy the crowd thinned out and I was finally able to find my rhythm and swim. Of course it was too late and I had lost a ton of time. Oh well. Lesson learned. What would you do differently?: Don't wear the damn wetsuit unless I'll freeze without it. Transition 1
Comments: not bad What would you do differently?: nothing Bike
Comments: I rocked it. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Transition 2
What would you do differently?: nothing. Run
Comments: average run for me. What would you do differently?: I'm not sure if carrying water on shorter runs hurts me or not. I feel better having it though. Not a big fan of water in cups from water stations. Post race
Event comments: HMF always does a good job, IMO. Last updated: 2013-08-23 12:00 AM

Same as usual - wake up, half a bagel, natural PB. I was really worked up and couldn't force the banana down so I took it with me. Didn't eat it. 1.5 Glasses of water too.
I was really worked up for this swim - even though I've done 9 other sprints this season this was the longest swim at .5 mile. I just swam 100 yards or so to warm up - and I felt fine.
