Swim
Comments: Kinda choppy, wavy water. Had trouble getting out of the washing machine. Did a lot of breast stroking until I got to my inside position I like. I need to start to the extreme left of the pack, even if it is at the rear. Let them go, then cross the timing area. Another lesson learned. Transition 1
Comments: I have Speedplay road cycling pedals. May have to change this, or put shoes on pedals during pre-race. I took my time this race and dried off. That really paid me off. I had comfy feet for the ride! What would you do differently?: Put shoes on pedals pre-race. Bike
Comments: I just don't like to train on the bike as much as I do in the pool and on the run. It shows in my ranking for this leg of the race. On a good note - I did not get a flat, and I felt like I had a really good effort of getting hydration and nutrition during the bike. Also found couple new riding positions that I liked! I am still learning about myself on the bike. What would you do differently?: I kinda took it easy because I was afraid of quad cramps on the run like last race. I could have picked up the pace, but didn't want to push too many chips into the pot. Transition 2
Comments: I just took my time and made sure I was comfortable for the run. Run
Comments: No cramps this time! I started with short, choppy strides and it worked well! Again, I felt like I could have pushed my pace more, but I was kinda leery of quad cramps. What would you do differently?: Maybe pushed a little harder Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Fear of quad cramps on the run. I hedged the bike and run pace both. Event comments: Great event. It is large, but I really liked it. Well done. Last updated: 2013-10-07 12:00 AM
