Comments:

It was a long 400 meters. I hit the middle of the short backstretch in 4:22 and hit the shore in another 4:21. After a long run up to T1, I was at 9:20 overall. Solid swim. Can't complain.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. Good swim.

  • 20.87 mile/hr
Comments:

I had 21.6 at the turn-around and 21.2ish back to transition. That's after clearing my computer after the long run to start the bike. And then there was a long run to end the bike too. That made for slower than normal bike times. Drank a fair amount - thought I might be over-drinking, but I needed that for the hot run. (28.8 max)
What would you do differently?:

Be in better bike shape. I lost a lot of bike power after taking time off after Liberty.
Transition 2
  • 00m 48s
Comments:

Ran in with Katherine and Matt! Fun transition!
Run
  • 27m 5s
  • 4.4 miles
  • 06m 10s  min/mile
Comments:

Got HOT!! I took some Heed out of transition because I was getting hungry, then water at the last 2 stops to sip and then pour down my back and on my head. That really helped.
What would you do differently?:

I could have MAYBE started harder, but I was hot and unsure of my running skill at this point. Overall, pretty happy with how I had done.
Post race
Warm down:

Nothing. No stretching even. Just a ham sandwich and an apple. But then a nice 10 minute ice bath 3 hours after the race once home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Easier training coming out of Liberty due to a sore foot.

Event comments:

Maybe could have used one more water stop on the run.
