Comments:

I entered bad in navigation simply because there was no option for horse shit. I think that my problem was that I tried to go too fast. I ended up slower and more inefficent than if I had taken it a bit easier.

What would you do differently?:

Relax and swim within my limits for more efficiency.

I couldn't have given it any more. My pace was even throughout, but I just don't have the speed.

I need to reevaluate my training for next year.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The big one was my run training. I have had limited speed stuff this summer and I believe that my current run times are the victim.

Great race yesterday. I feel your pain about the run, it is my nemesis. You looked really strong when I saw you past the turn around, and 23+ on the bike is a great effort. Good Work!!! Good luck in the rest of you races this year.

Again, nice race yesterday. I had really high HR's myself. I hear you when you say that you need to do more speedwork for running...I feel that is what is limiting me as well.
