I need to learn to sight better

Transition 1

02m 36s

Comments:

The transition area was 500 yards from the swim finish so it took some time to get there.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Comments:

I drank one water bottle worth of water. There were headwinds going both directions.

Transition 2

01m 54s

Comments:

I took some time to stop for a big drink of water from a Nalgene (w/ the smaller opening) before I started to run.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Run

53m 1s
6.21 miles
08m 32s min/mile

Comments:

I made sure to drink as much as possible and even took a shot of some chocolate powerade gel along the way. I'm convinced all the drinking and gel helped a lot.

What would you do differently?:

I would have started sprinting much sooner. I should have done it with only a mile to go.

Post race

Warm down:

I really didn't warm down....not a good idea.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Swimming, I should have done more open water swimming in preparation for this race.

Event comments:

I plan on making this race a yearly custom...as long as it does not interfere with any other A priority races.
