None to speak of!

Comments:

Decent swim for almost no training. I think it took a lot more out of me than I realized at the time, though.

Drafting was non-existent for a major portion, though. I thought my navigation was very good, but it seemed like I was isolated for a lot of the race. I did find some feet on the middle third of the course.
What would you do differently?:

I don't have any excuses from here on out. My endless pool should be up and running within the next week or so.
Transition 1
  • 03m 32s
Comments:

Getting the wetsuit back in the bag was a bit of a challenge, but I finally managed.

  • 56 miles
  • 22.47 mile/hr
Comments:

Rode a little under my power goal and what I had ridden in training and even that felt harder than it should have. Like I said, it was probably because the swim took more out of me than it should have.
Transition 2
  • 02m 30s
Comments:

Pretty standard transition, despite the split.
Run

Comments:

Ugh. Cramps, side stitches, numbness in my feet. Just all kinds of problems.

Event comments:

A typical, top-notch Endorfun production. The arena finish was awesome. Having everyone basically captive provided a lot of energy for the finishers.

Solid swim and bike ... based upon those two and the comments, the run sounded "endless" and painful!  That said, even without the training you said was missed, you posted a solid, solid finishing time.

And that is a great way to end up a season.
