 Swim
Comments: 16 Seconds slower than last year. Of course I haven't been putting in the same kind of times in the pool, so it was expected to be a bit slower... nonetheless, I wasn't totally thrilled, although I did feel good in the water, which had kind of worried me (probably unnecessarily) What would you do differently?: Probably could have went out a bit harder.  Transition 1
Comments: hey, a little bit faster than last year! What would you do differently?: I should probably practice my transitions... at least once or twice a year...  Bike
Comments: Road my CAAD (with shorties) instead of a tri bike for this race... felt like it was the right choice as I've kinda suffered on the later half of the course in the past years. I think it was the right choice even though my time last year was 27:57 (although I was 7th on the bike OA) Now that splits are up, I can say I definitely made the right choice on bike to bring... just a couple of seconds difference but much better set up for the run. What would you do differently?: Can't think of anything, it seemed like a well paced ride to me. Transition 2
Comments: Almost bit it hitting a speed bump when my foot shot off the top of my shoe, but I recovered and held it together. Felt like this was a quick transition, and at :30 it was :09 better than last year. What would you do differently?: Careful :)  Run
Comments: Last year was a 17:49 on the same route, so cutting :40 off made me pretty happy, especially since I felt pretty comfortable all the way til the end (as opposed to hurting from the start) Still a lot of work to do, but I'm ok with it. What would you do differently?: Run more. Lots more. Post race
Warm down: Cooled down, got something to drink, etc. Talked with Josh (JWade) for a bit and we ended up 5th and 6th and both getting first place in our AG's. (I'm an old man now so we aren't in the same AG any more) All in all a pretty good day. What limited your ability to perform faster: Time and miles. There's still much more work to be done, but it was a good day at the office. :24 better than last year... yay. Event comments: Racedayevents always has a good race setup. Would recommend them any time. Last updated: 2013-05-27 12:00 AM

Had to come home early from Chattanooga (sadly) so I missed seeing the US Pro National road race, but I figured it'd be fine to get a race in myself as compensation. Got the bike set up and got some sleep, I admit I was a bit concerned after my last race ended in a DNF, but I brought my game face.
Biked a little, got a good run in and a longer than usual swim. Stubbed my toe coming in on my bike warmup... ended up bruising the crap out of it, but didn't effect my race.
