 Swim
Comments: I was in the 3rd wave (last wave) - 4 mins back from the 1st wave. Water was choppy and there was a strong cross current. I was told a lot of people quit during the swim or were being pulled from the water, including a friend of mine. When in the water I couldn't see the buoys because of the high chops. I just focused on swimming toward the large flag pole at the Marina. I felt good in the water. I am so glad I learned to breathe on both sides this year. I really helped in this race. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Transition 1
Comments: Felt good coming out of the swim. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Bike
Comments: I rode pretty hard given the windy conditions. Kept my cadence high. I felt good overall, except my right hammy was tight. My nutrition was perfect on the bike w/ accelerade & hammer gel. What would you do differently?: Nothing Transition 2
Comments: Quick transition to run. No issues. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Run
Comments: Kept HR around 165 for the first 5K. Then picked it up for the last 5K to about 170. I was passing a lot of people on the run so that felt good. Finished strong. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Post race
Warm down: Coke & water. What limited your ability to perform faster: wind Event comments: It was a well organized & fun race. Last updated: 2006-10-06 12:00 AM

Arrived at transition at 5am. Transition closed at 5:35. I was on the second ferry leaving for the island and arrived around 6:15. There was a lot of waiting around as the ferry was transporting athletes from the mainland to the island.
