Yeah I suck in the water! No problems to speak of.

Put on Camelback, socks and sneakers. Long run from Water T1 mat to transition area.



What would you do differently?:

Get in better shape to handle the transition run. Should practice some swim exits and runs.

Comments:

HR way too high, not in shape for that. Went out too hard after 10 miles legs were starting to burn and had to back off. Spun high easy rate going down the bridge and into transistion, they were dead!
What would you do differently?:

Start slower and build up and TRAIN MORE
Transition 2
  • 00m 52s
Comments:

5/15, quick rack, dump water on my head and slowly start my way.
What would you do differently?:

NOt much, pretty straight forward with not changing shoes.

  • 6.21 miles
  • 10m 32s  min/mile
Comments:

Ok I cramped big time at the 3 mile mark, same as last year. Going hard on the bike killed my run yet again. Sun came out during the early part of the run and it got hot. Again a serious off-season training plan is needed.
What would you do differently?:

Train, train, train and wise up about my fitness level and HR LT.
Post race
Warm down:

Water and power bar. stumbled around with my family!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not is the shape I need to be in.
