 Swim
Comments: Rough swim. Roughest I have ever faced. I must have swallowed a pint of seawater by the first turn. I never felt like I found a rhythm. I fed the fish a bit about 2/3 of the way through. Felt better after that. What would you do differently?: I would not wear standard goggles again.. I will switch to Aqua Spheres for the next ugly swim.  Transition 1
Comments: Wetsuit strippers rocked! What would you do differently?: I put on arm warmers for the ride.. I would skip that.  Bike
Comments: Felt really good on the bike. Tailwind at first let me keep 26 or 27 all the way out. The headwind back was interesting but was still able to keep a decent pace. I rode a Flo 80 front and Flo rear disc. No wind related issues. What would you do differently?: No arm warmers. They were too much. Good ride. Transition 2
Comments: Listened to the winning pro finish while I put my running shoes on. Wore Smartwool socks. AWESOME! No blisters at all. What would you do differently?: nothing  Run
Comments: I am a slow runner( Im 6'2" and 230#) but I felt good and ran the whole thing. The smell of honey suckle was awesome! The crowds were some of the best ever! What would you do differently?: Not much Post race
Warm down: Pizza and a coke. Then warm clothes. What limited your ability to perform faster: Need more run training Event comments: I will be back for sure!!! Last updated: 2014-04-08 12:00 AM

Got up at 4:00 and ate two servings of oatmeal and a Monster. Got dressed and headed for the start. Cold wind and rain were the order of the morning. Tried to relax and stay warm. Put my running stuff in a plastic bag. That turned out to be a good idea. Dry running shoes was really nice.
No warm up. Just attended the Tri for Him pre race prayer.
