Swim
Comments: After the first 75 yds or so, i could not get a full breath, just couldn't get enough air in. Didn't panic and knew I could eventually work through it all but I did a little of everything, somehow I still had some people from my wave around me..... What would you do differently?: swim more, not be 15 to 20 lbs over the weight I last wore the wetsuit. Transition 1
Comments: Well, T1 did not include the slow walk I took from the beach to transition - guess that added onto the swim time - as bad as the swim went, it must have been short. I just took my time in this transition, made a cup of coffee, had some biscuits, and just lounged around. Definitely was not a race pace transition. (35 out of 93) What would you do differently?: Care Bike
Transition 2
Comments: Wasn't much to this transition, but took a little bit long considering (42nd What would you do differently?: gloves and camelback coming off and fuel belt on were additions to "normal" transition Have to work on that being smoother. Have more energy coming in. Run
Comments: Got going out of transition (using the term loosely) and just couldn't run a pace, was doing 9:30's and then picking it up a little on the down hill, Hit the first mile in 9:13 but just didn't have it. Walked aid stations, then hills, then just interspersed walking. HR was close to what zone 5 use to be but breathing was low. I just didn't care, wanted to just keep moving forward. What would you do differently?: train, IDK maybe push myself a little more Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: 14 hours of home improvement on Saturday, too little sleep and lack of training. Last updated: 2013-05-14 12:00 AM
