 Swim
Comments: Holy crap was that tough! Especially toward first yellow marker. I used metronome, and that helped a bunch. Kept me from panicking. What would you do differently?: Not sure. Felt great about the swim. Put in the hours, and felt confident  Transition 1
Comments: Long slog up to transition. Didn't rush. Wanted to collect myself. Ate half a bagel with turkey and cheese. Really nice to have solid food. No issues on the bike from the food. Had to wait in line for bathroom. Only two porta John's in transition. Unacceptable What would you do differently?: Not sure, really  Bike
Comments: Really proud of my ride. Had a game plan. Stuck to it. Went out the day before, analyzed toughest section from m bestbikesplit and rode 5 miles both directions. Super tough headwind, but flew back. What would you do differently?: Want to keep working on increasing FTP throughout the year. Don't want to back step Transition 2
Comments: Again, didn't rush here. Trying to prepare for run. Ate second half of bagel sandwich. Really nice to have some sort of solid food to look forward to after the bike  Run
Comments: Ran all the way out to 6.5 mark. Then struggled to run until 7.5. Then had to walk run the rest of the way. Decent pace for first 6.5. Also walked water stations starting at mile 4. Actually surprised the run was under 12 minute pace. What would you do differently?: Good question. Deliberately scaled back on running hours in training to go easy to on knees. Still a 'decent' to me. Wish I could have run the whole thing. Tough to see it happening. Post race
Warm down: Walked back to the van which was almost a mile away! Actually a good cool down What limited your ability to perform faster: Wind wind wind Event comments: Great 70.3 race. Very well organized. Official accommodations are a bit stressful being as far away as they are. Great first 70.3 because of course layout. One complaint: more porta potties in transition, please!
