Thinking about performing got the best of me after I finished thinking about T1.
What would you do differently?:

Don't over think stroke and technique, and just do what's natural and fast.

Felt awkward and clumsy.

Hammered hard on the bike and felt great. Could possibly have pushed harder, but not too much.
What would you do differently?:

refine aero position

Almost endo'd the bike at dismount line. Running socks took some time

Took a bit over a mile to get my legs, but was in comfortable stride by turn-around. Felt like I could hold the pace all day if needed. Was 5 seconds behind 5th place, and lost to him by 4 seconds. Grrrrr!!!

Run harder at the finish.

Whoa, David! Smokin' fast race there, big boy! I'm excited for you on this race! Looking at this report, I'd have to say you should be very pleased...regardless of how you felt in the water. You're right on, though, don't THINK about stroke mechanics during a race, just get into a rhythm and hold it. The bike looks great and the run really, really great! You're on the way to a podium finish soon! I'll make a deal with you, you help me with the bike and I'll help you with the swim...deal?

Look forward to seeing you soon!

Eric
