Swim
Comments: Rounded first buoy and could not find the site buoys. Then got stung by the first jellyfish. Lost my mind for about 30 seconds and by the time I recovered I was off line. Felt like I swam at least an extra 100 yards. Eventually spotted the second turn buoy and was stung on the other leg. Happily made it out of the water and on to transition. What would you do differently?: Pay more attention to course set up and watch other swimmers when in doubt. Transition 1
Comments: Had to grab the vinegar spray in attempt to quell the stinging from the jellyfish. This slowed me down a little and did not help tremendously. Got the sand off my feet and got out of transition. What would you do differently?: Not much. Just need to work on faster transition between water and transition area. Bike
Comments: Strongest bike performance so far. Felt good but still have more improvements to make before next season. What would you do differently?: Nothing Transition 2
Comments: Slowed down a little too soon coming into transition but it may have been a blessing as I saw others in transition that looked as if they had been in a crash. Put on running shoes and was off to the run. What would you do differently?: Again, improve speed and coordination in transition. Run
Comments: I need to make better improvements on the run. Felt tired and sluggish and had no push left. Was very happy that the last mile seemed shorter than the other two. What would you do differently?: Based on the energy I had left there was nothing I could have done differently. Post race
Warm down: Went for more vinegar spray and then grabbed a water, some fruit snacks, and a granola bar. Checked out the results. What limited your ability to perform faster: Training was more focused on trying to pick up speed. Felt that it worked on the bike but feel like I need more base distance for the run coupled with the interval training. Event comments: Race was very well organized. Volunteers and police did a great job on all the intersections. Lucked out with some great weather. Last updated: 2013-09-10 12:00 AM
