  • 01m 38s / 100 yards
Comments:

Swim start felt very good. I am pretty sure there were some current college swimmers in my wave since this was 20-29 males so I got in right behind them. They pulled away pretty quickly, but the rest of the group trailed back a good bit, so I had a smooth lane in the lake to myself. Stayed that way the rest of the swim. Had trouble sighting the buoy after the first turn since there was no big buoy to spot. Other than that, enjoyed the swim.
What would you do differently?:

Swim further into the shore. Lost a couple seconds trying to walk in water that was too deep.
Transition 1
  • 01m 55s
Comments:

Insoles kept slipping down with wet feet. Worried about getting blisters so I readjusted a couple of times. Lost a good bit on this transition.
What would you do differently?:

Run down the right corridor and try to not act like I was drunk running in. I felt like I was a little out of it coming out of the water.
Bike
  • 34m 2s
  • 11.2 miles
  • 19.75 mile/hr
Comments:

Had a really hard time taking the turns at full speed since I was trying to stay in the righthand lane. Would have rather gone over the double yellow a little when lane was clear to keep speed up. May just need to work on the technical skills a little more.
What would you do differently?:

Cornering
Transition 2
  • 01m 6s
Comments:

Right shoe popped off pedal when jumping off bike. Somebody behind me had to grab my shoe and run it to me. Probably ran a little slower than I could have because I was worried about if I should go pickup my shoe.
What would you do differently?:

Not lose my shoe.
Run
  • 22m 49s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 07m 22s  min/mile
Comments:

Felt like I was going to puke, but didn't. Perfect! :-)
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Post race
Warm down:

BBQ on the way to Camden, SC for a wedding.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not much. Just need to keep up the training.
