Swim
Comments: I was anxious about the swim since I had not trained much. However, I started out great! I had a good pace and even drafted and felt I could keep that pace without a problem. After I rounded the first buoy I noticed a lot of different colored caps in the water still. As I swam to the next buoy it seemed as it was not getting closer It wasn't. The tide was coming in and I was not making progress. I fought hard to make tit to the next buoy. Once there I had to stop and rest, with about five other guys. I tried to get to the next buoy but I was pushed back.. The race management eventually turned us all around. The tide was too much for us all. There is a big step coming out of the water and when I took my first step my leg cramped so bad. Medical gave me salt and electrolytes. Transition 1
Comments: Its a long run from the water o the bike and my leg was still cramping. I at a gu and forgot my blocks for the bike. I had nothing left for the bike and people passed me like I was standing still. Had to walk my bike up the hill. Bike

What limited your ability to perform faster: Sciatic pain kept me from training. Last updated: 2013-09-08 12:00 AM
