Comments:

My second time in Fools Hollow, and a return to the "scene of the crime" from my first race where I had multiple panic attacks in the water.
This went much better!
Still had a little struggle with the weeds in the lake, but the water was clear.
Transition 1
  • 02m 44s
Comments:

I'm still working on my bike transition, and getting into my shoes on the bike. I did a lot better than the last race (LifeTime Marquee).
Gave kisses to my family, that still is the best part of racing for me.
What would you do differently?:

Work on getting into the shoes on the bike.

  • 40 kms

Comments:

With only 110 Olympic participants, its a lonely course.
Also, someone yelled "ON YOUR LEFT" at about mile 5, I nearly fell off my bike I was so scared.
What would you do differently?:

Still really need to work on hydration and calorie consumption (eating vs drinking)
Transition 2
  • 01m 3s
Comments:

My legs would not turn over off the bike.
Got to kiss the family again.
What would you do differently?:

Again I still need to work on my transitions.
Run
  • 1h 00m 40s
  • 6.2 miles
  • 09m 47s  min/mile
Comments:

I need to work on paying attention to my body and reacting appropriately.
It was the first hot run of the season for me, so it was hard, but I could of hydrated and cooled down better.
What would you do differently?:

hydrated more, poured more water/ice/sponges on my head and back.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

The heat on the course, bike and run, and not be adapted to it.
Pretty bad allergies causing a lot of nasal congestion, really helped zap some energy from me.

Event comments:

This race was MUCH better than last years. I'm glad the organizers were able to push it earlier into the year. TriSports Racing did a great job on this race, I'm glad to have them back.
It's a tough course for me, and the competition was fierce.
Friendly and Fun, and pretty hard.
I'm definitely coming back!

Keep in mind that the taper period is as important to your body as all of the long hours you’ve put in the pool, on the bike and on the road. It is meant to help you rest, recover and rejuvenate.
