Swim
Comments: found a lot more open water this time around. on the back half, felt like I was rocking back and forth a lot - almost like I was in a wake (that didn't exist). felt a lot faster than the time indicated. What would you do differently?: not adjust my wetsuit for the 18 trillionth time ... damn chafing. maybe also get in more ows's ... this swim was disappointing and not indicative of my ability. Transition 1
Comments: I *kind of* ran with the bike. wetsuit wasn't as annoying this time around. sunglasses worked out better in the helmet. What would you do differently?: not much, actually. maybe sunscreen slightly more. Bike
Comments: made the decision to walk the bike up the hardest part of stage, which I don't regret. legs never really got under me; neither did my lungs. this, like the swim, is not indicative of what I can do. What would you do differently?: not ride stage the week before. maybe a few weeks before, but not the week before. i'm pretty sure I still haven't recovered ... Transition 2
Comments: did the trislide on the feet instead of bodyglide - think that worked smarter. What would you do differently?: sunscreen more. also, in retrospect, bodyglide the armpits in t1. Run
Comments: first half was a little rough; second half was definitely stronger. awkward running stride due to horrible chafing. What would you do differently?: bodyglide/Vaseline the armpits. now that I know the kit can do that, future note. also figure out why the second half of both of my runs was stronger ... Post race
Warm down: collapse on fencing, try not to die. What limited your ability to perform faster: lungs. my training wasn't for this race. this is the equivalent of me doing chilly cheeks and expecting to do awesome. Event comments: peak is what it is - a harder-than-average Olympic. pissed that the bike course was shortened due to the stupid construction on the diagonal, pissed that I got some cheap t-shirt and not a tech tee, cranky that the volunteer on the stage aid station couldn't get me my water bottle. I think if I ever want to do well at this race, i'm gonna have to train for it. Last updated: 2013-07-15 12:00 AM
