Everything went good. Probably could have pushed it a little harder. Didn't keep the efficiency I'd been working on but I think it was better. Hard to do while sighting and people running into you. Sighting went great though. Good OWS considering I haven't done it since May.

Probably should have gone ahead and wore my wet suit. Temp was 73*F and most people were wearing theirs. This would have helped keeping my butt up while sighting.

WOW, that was fast!

I needed more strength training which I put off since my IM in May. That'll teach you!

Also, I might have drank too much for the temp that day. This could have been part of the reason (or maybe all) I had leg cramps later on.

Not go so hard. I wanted to push myself on the bike and I did. Maybe too much. My legs were tired and "crampy" on the run.

This included a LONG pee break! Really had to go.

Sat down to put on socks/shoes, number belt, grabbed hat and glasses.

Legs cramping. Over did it on the bike.
Probably drank too much on the bike. Backed off and only sipped one cup at each station. I think I only ate two gels during the run also. Didn't feel great.
I'm going to give my run a average score because a 9 m/m is average for me. I was hoping for better but didn't put in the training for it.

I didn't put in the training I usually would for a race. So, I'm please with the outcome.


I like this race. It was my first 70.3 four years ago. The transition was in a new parking lot next to the water and well lit. I guess the only down side was running on concrete for 13.1 miles. Using the golf cart path is a good idea but too bad it had sloped areas and was broken up in others. I saw one lady go down hard.
