 Swim
Comments: little contact but not much more than any other wave start. quickly found open water and swam free till i started getting in to other groups. lots of people from previous waves swimming slow or floating to avoid. but mostly a basic decent swim. Big bouys at the turns great to sight off of What would you do differently?: nothing  Transition 1
Comments: good transition.  Bike
Comments: lots of turns and uturns to get that course in the town of tempe. but was a decent ride. the road has some sections that are really bumpy but the majority of the race was smooth. The turn on college was the only really tight one. Biggest problem with the turns are the cyclists that do not know how to handle their bikes well and do not keep their line cuz they get scared of people behind them What would you do differently?: ride just a bit harder Transition 2
Comments: first race i used socks... difficult to get on in T2. may try my next half with no socks  Run
Comments: great flat course with ample aid stations. lots of kids helping out was great to see. all stations had music tons to eat and drink as well as ICE What would you do differently?: LEARN TO RUN.... seriously i really suck. This was a 1/2 marathon PR for me but really... off the bike in 6th in my age group only to fall to 18th over all with a run that i felt was decent for me Post race
Warm down: iced towels are the best... lots of water and walking around. then 4 peaks for pumpkin porter and a bite to eat. What limited your ability to perform faster: my run just plain sucks badly Event comments: This was my first 1/2 in 5 years since a broken ankle at a race. I went in to it with a stretch goal of 5:20 and ended up 5:05:44 so to say i am happy with the race is an understatement. previous half was 6:02:45 so i am ecstatic about the result.
