 Swim
Comments: I swam VERY slowly. This was actually intentional. I had a very bad swim at my last sprint so I just wanted to get through this. I am not a good swimmer but could probably pull 2:15/100 on a better day. What would you do differently?: I think I need to start slowly like I did but gradually pick up the pace and back off if I feel like I am getting winded. Need to practice this technique while training.  Transition 1
Comments: Had a little hiccup coming out of T1. Somehow my wife's race belt (she was racked next to me) ended up attached to my wheel. A volunteer noticed it and offered to put it back by her bike. I told her exactly where it was but somehow the number never ended up back there. Cost me about a minute coming out of T1. What would you do differently?: Make sure I am not dragging any extra equipment along.  Bike
Comments: My average speed was better than any previous race. As I started the second lap I came up on a lot of the sprint racers. This created a very crowded course and probably cost me a little speed. What would you do differently?: Still learning how hard I can push myself and have a decent run. Transition 2
 Run
Comments: Decent run. I can run faster but it was hot out. Carried liquids with me so I could keep up. Stopped at each aid station to pour ice water on my head and refill my bottle. What would you do differently?: Could maybe have pushed a little harder but it would not have changed any results. Post race
Warm down: Sat in an ice bath for 10 minutes. Checked results. What limited your ability to perform faster: Mostly the heat. Event comments: Onurmark puts on a great race. I race all of their events and will continue to do so. Last updated: 2015-09-08 12:00 AM

Up at 4:30 for waffles and diet coke for breakfast. Bag already packed so just had to through bikes on car and head out.
I had a horrible swim at my last race to in order to get a little confidence back I did jump in the water for a quick swim before the race. That was the extent of my warmup.
