Comments:

good start with no anxiety or breathing problems. Got in a rhythm pretty quickly. Passed lots of people. Exit was a little slow due to large wave after standing up.
What would you do differently?:

have my wetsuit in the truck in case they declared it wetsuit legal like they did
Transition 1
  • 01m 36s
Comments:

Put on sunglasses first then helmet strap was twisted by glasses. Shoes were a little flat by the time I tried to put my feet in. Need to go back to Sidi shoes.
What would you do differently?:

Put on helmet and tape glasses to bike and put them on later after I get going. Forgot to do that.
Bike

  • 24.85 miles
  • 21.59 mile/hr
Comments:

One sports drink in aero bottle and one water bottle were just about right. Had one gel just before bridge and one gel just before finish. Slight head wind going out and slight tail wind coming back. Slowest portion was going North into the park. Fastest section was from the park to the finish.
Transition 2
  • 01m 5s
Comments:

Forgot to unstrap shoes early so had to stop to get off bike.
What would you do differently?:

Undo shoes and get feet out so I could do the running dismount that I had practiced. Such a shame and a waste of time that I had to completely stop to get off bike.

Comments:

Same old thing. Slowest part of race. Really need to learn how to run faster. Thank goodness for the lady who came along in the last 2.5 miles to pace me. Finished with fasted 2 miles at end.
What would you do differently?:

Run faster in training.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Slow running, short legs.

Nice job! I wussed out and did the sprint.  Was happily eating a huge breakfast while you were out there working hard.  Hey, at least it was cooler than the last 2 years.
