 Swim
Comments: First 4 sight buoys were to be treated as turn buoys-they had to be on right shoulder. Orange buoyus coming back in were sight buoys. Per USAT rules you can have them on either shoulder. I felt bad for those not knowing this-you swam further. What would you do differently?: More pre-race training, Im behind on my swimming. Slower than last year! Time my warm up better.  Transition 1
Comments: Suit stuck on arms, left leg hammy cramping, suit stuck, too much talking to friend doing half relay with friends. What would you do differently?: Notta, get suit off faster.  Bike
Comments: I know this course, I wrecked on it last year. I also drove it extra this year. I hammered this course. If I do it next year I need to push harder, I don't think I held back but I didnt A group it. What would you do differently?: Ride it with "A" group mentality. Transition 2
Comments: If youve read my reports-I like <1:00. I was close to this last year at T2, and would be this year, had they not made transistion DEEPER to account for the half athletes. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Good T2  Run
Comments: Didnt hold back, lonely course. Still love the gun range near the top! What would you do differently?: Push harder on the false flats going uphill. Post race
Warm down: Feet up lying on my back. Empty tank. What limited your ability to perform faster: Legs a little twitchy from long downhill, not used to that much downhill running-smile and Kick it. Event comments: Half zip long sleeve tech shirts-ROCK Coaster/ashtrays as awards, and medals only for the half. meh-and you ran out, how is that possible for a race that sold out? Being in a valley there isnt a pizza place to deliver-but Id like to see a food truck handle post race food-not saran wrapped sandwiches and cookies. Fruit and drinks were great. SETUP tent was selling all old gear. Been twice now and still likely to go back for a third-make the half a TRUE half and I may do that next year. Race results posted fast, and pictures posted fast. THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS AND POLICE! Last updated: 2014-08-07 12:00 AM

Breakfast. Drive from hotel-30 minutes. 2nd breakfast. Talk talk talk. Gear prep. Talk talk talk.
WARM UP in the frigid water, read race report from alst year and saw I needed to warm up more. Well, since they added the half I took TOO much time, or had too much time to warm up. SO I warmed up and then sat on the dock and RE-WARMED up.
