Walked a couple of miles from the hotel to Transition, was a great warmup.
Event warmup:

walked for 20 minutes. Jumped into the water to feel the temperature, just 5 minutes. Stretched and that's it.

I thought I was swimming slower as Inever lost my breath. I started at the very end and ended passing 70 so swimmers. My best swim so far.
What would you do differently?:

nothing
Transition 1
  • 04m 38s
Comments:

Remained calm, could've gone a bit faster but didn0t want to raise HR. SoI think it was a pretty good transition. The dstance from the water to the bike was crazy 500 mts or so.

Next time will try to draft more. It was permitted but I didn't take advantage of it.
What would you do differently?:

Draft. I sould've shed a couple of mintes. Train harder.
Transition 2
  • 06m 16s
Comments:

I was afraid my knee wasn't going to hold up to the race so in an attempt to easy it out I walked 1/3 of the transition zone which was brutally long. Lost a lot of time there.
What would you do differently?:

Speed up.

Comments:

I was afraid my knee wouldn't hold up. So I started really slow, it started hurting so I walked through the first refreshment and ate my power bar gel slowly. I started jogging and when the pain dissapeared I reved up as much as I could. I was even expecting to run past the 30 min mark so I think I did better than expected.
What would you do differently?:

If my knee is ok, just run normally and would help a lot.
Post race
Warm down:

walked with the kids around.

Event comments:

Fantastic race. Much better organized than the big Foot tri in wisconsin. Enjoyed it a lot.
