Pre-race routine:

Nothing. Still suffering from the stomach bug. had to leave the house at 4:30am to get down there
Event warmup:

Too cold/windy. I did splash some water on me, it was very cold.
Swim

  • 400 meters
  • 01m 30s / 100 meters
Comments:

Water was very rough. I was ready for it from last year. Mixed up breast stroke and freestyle and was able to finish it without wasting too much energy.
What would you do differently?:

Try to do more freestyle swimming.
Transition 1
  • 02m 31s
Comments:

I am getting much better at the transitions. I thought it was a very good time considering the 100m run up the beach and all the sand that was on me.
What would you do differently?:

nothing

Comments:

I knew on the way out when I was "cruising" at 25mph that there was going to be a tough wind coming back. I decided to Stay around 26-27 and then spin through the wind on the way back. When I made the turn on the way back it was like hitting a brick wall. It wore my legs out. What pissed me off is when I saw all of the people drafting on the way back in, talk about integrity!
What would you do differently?:

Draft, I guess, so that I can get some of the times these guys did
Transition 2
  • 01m 25s
Comments:

Another good transition
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Run
  • 38m 54s

Comments:

Terrible. The bug got to me here. I had no energy. Legs felt fine, breathing was not very hard, but I just could not go hard. I thought about quitting several times but I decided I would just learn from this experience. I learned the value of nutrition. It is vital for the race day
What would you do differently?:

Not get the bug.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

I was ready to go, but the bug got to me

Event comments:

Another great one for the Flora Bama. Much more lax than a USAT event. The drafting on the bike was out of control.

Don't go the drafting route man... You did the right thing.

 

Grats on an integrity filled race.

That wind was amazing on the way back in. I didn't see the drafting but my wife says it was bad when she was on the course.

Are you going to do the May 6th race? One of these days we gotta meet.
