Comments:

Needed to do a better job with sighting - but the swim felt good, first swim in wetsuit was wonderful. Took it easy but steady.
What would you do differently?:

Better sighting and swim lines would have helped cut a bit of time off.

  • 02m 43s
Comments:

Good transition - could have been faster but I was pleased with the time - didn't forget anything.
What would you do differently?:

maybe practice it more...left transition with everything but thinking "what did i forget"
Bike
  • 2h 55m 35s
  • 56 miles
  • 19.14 mile/hr
Comments:

started smooth - drank 2 servings of perpetum an 3 bottles of water. Not sure what that works out to. Last 16 miles where into the wind and I backed off a good bit. Kept heart rate around 150-160 for the ride.
What would you do differently?:

I was much more spent then expected when I got off the bike, believe I should have slowed it down a bit, never felt that extended though.
Transition 2
  • 01m 41s
Comments:

Smooth transition - next time put on suntan lotion - got burnt to a crisp on the run.
Run

  • 13.1 miles
  • 11m 46s  min/mile
Comments:

Was spent by mile two - took water and/or heed at every mile, walked ran from mile two to 12 - started cramping around mile 8
What would you do differently?:

probably take it easier on the bike - I was just spent - needed to do more bricks and longer brickes
Post race
Warm down:

nothing - walked around a bit and light stretching

What limited your ability to perform faster:

training limitations

Event comments:

Only half I have done but it was supported super well. Once I can swallow solid objects I wills start training for next year.
