Swim
Comments: Took the swim slower than my usual pace in order to conserve energy for the bike and run. What would you do differently?: Breath a little better and not on every stroke. Transition 1
Comments: The 40-44M was one of the last waves, so the transition area was very busy and chaotic. What would you do differently?: Run a little faster from the water to the transition area. Bike
Comments: I had my best bike time, but was passed frequently by the more seasoned(and faster) riders. Felt a little under-tech'd compared to the rest of the field since I was not decked out in full carbon and aero (wheels, helmet, water bottle, stem caps, etc..). What would you do differently?: Work on by cycling strength and endurance in order to keep up with the big boys. Transition 2
Comments: Little slower than usual. What would you do differently?: Nothing Run
Comments: This was my personal best 5K in a triathlon, but was passed as if I was standing still by all the youngsters and real runners. What would you do differently?: Focus on running next year. Post race
Warm down: Walked around drinking lots of water. What limited your ability to perform faster: Taking a vacation a week before the race. Event comments: Overall the race was great and the field was extremely talented. If you are going to get absolutely smoked in a race, its better to get smoked by the best in the nation. The only problem was with security (or lack of). A number of racers had their wet suits stolen out of transition, my self included. Last updated: 2012-08-22 12:00 AM
