Swim
Comments: Tough getting out past breakers to first bouy. I kept to the outside ofthe large green bouys marking the swim parallel to shore which took me further out than the majority of swimmers since this wasnt mandatory. I estimate i lost 2 minutes with this mistake. OK getting back to shore although the surf made for a difficult exit out of the water. Felt good otherwise. I'll know better next time. What would you do differently?: Aim for the far turning bouy and use green bouys only for sighting reference. Transition 1
Bike
Comments: Felt slow today, took legs 3 miles to loosen up. Not enough training on the road lately although plenty of time in trainer and spin bike. Roads mostly smooth with frequent manhole covers and occasional potholes. Nice bike route overall and they did a great job keeping traffic and intersections traffic free. What would you do differently?: More road training. Transition 2
Comments: No problems. Run
Comments: Still slow but felt stronger on this run than I have all year. Had plenty left at the end. HR tells a different story but I think I could have pushed a little harder. What would you do differently?: Nothing Post race
Warm down: Coke, hung with teamates, left fairly quick. What limited your ability to perform faster: Navigation error on the swim, poor speed on the bike. Event comments: Nice venue with perfectly located transition zone. We stayed at the host hotel righ next door to transition zone which was very nice and convenient. Good ocean swim, bike and run courses. I will definitely be back! Last updated: 2013-09-06 12:00 AM
