 Swim
Comments: Swim was slower than expected... Got a bloody nose about 500 meters in from a nasty kick to the face... Took some time to regain my composure... Finished about 2-3 minutes slower than planned... What would you do differently?: First time ever swimming in salt water... Next time I'll be better prepared for a salt water event. Wouldn't do much of anything different, except maybe wear a helmet...  Transition 1
Comments: T1 was about par for the course... What would you do differently?: Faster getting gear... Fumbled around a little more than I was planning on...  Bike
Comments: Had nasty cross winds... Pace was a hair slower than planned... But, for my first time going that distance, I survived and did OK... What would you do differently?: Practice, practice, practice... Gotta get the bike on the pavement more & off the trainer... Transition 2
Comments: Felt pretty good in T2... Got in & out about as fast as I could... What would you do differently?: Focus & faster...  Run
Comments: It was HOT & HUMID!!! Legs were cramping up after half way point pretty bad... Had to do a lot of walking the last 6 miles or so... Had to give it all I had just to finish... What would you do differently?: Practice, practice, and practice... Weather conditions played a big part though... Not used to the heat & humidity so early in the year... Caught me off guard... Post race
Warm down: Walked a few miles since the car was parked about 2 miles away... Got some drinks & food in me... Cheered on all of the runners left on the course for a while... What limited your ability to perform faster: Genetics... Event comments: Awesome race, awesome volunteers, everything was great except for mother nature trying to burn me up... Would definitely do this race again if given the opportunity... Last updated: 2012-04-01 12:00 AM

Got up early, since I couldn't sleep... Had a banana for breakfast around 4:30 and hit the road for the race
Had a lot of standing around to do since my swim wave wasn't until an hour after the first wave... Had a lot of time to get nervous & stretch...
