Pre-race routine:

Slept in my own bed since I live in Columbia. I had a aquathlon the day before in Charleston so I really had to push myself to get up and get out there. I was stiff and sore but I was excited about the race.
Event warmup:

Stretch. Need to get there earlier so I can do better warm-ups
Swim
  • 14m 57s
  • 820 yards
  • 01m 49s / 100 yards
Comments:

My goggles leaked REALLY badly the whole swim. I probably had to stop 20 times to get the water out of my goggles...it was horrible. I wear contacts so the water caused my contact to shift so when I came out of the water I only saw blurriness. I would have had to stop racing without my contact because I am basically useless without them and I would have been dangerous on the bike course. So yeah, disappointed with the swim.
What would you do differently?:

New goggles? Maybe, these have always worked great though.

Nothing
Bike

  • 20.21 mile/hr
Comments:

Best bike I have ever had. Well above goals for this course and by far fastest I have ever gone over this distance. It helped because I knew the course from riding on it several times. I knew where to slow down and where to hammer it out.
What would you do differently?:

More bike workouts
Transition 2
  • 01m 5s
Comments:

New fast shoelaces took time off this and I came out ahead of people I came in with. Very pleased
Run
  • 22m 50s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 20s  min/mile
Comments:

Passed more than passed me. Overall happy. Wish I had energy at end to sprint in but I guess not having it meant I gave the rest of the race everything I had.

Wow- nice race.  You were so speedy on the bike and run.  That stinks that your gogles were leaking so bad on the swim.  It never fails- I won't have problems with leaky goggles until I'm in a race.  Great race!!
