Swim
Comments: I was disappointed coming out of the water. I thought I had swam well but was expecting a good 45 seconds faster. Oh well. Not hitting arms, no running over people. Very pleasant swim. Maybe I was enjoying too much :-) What would you do differently?: Not much. I did swim straight and relaxed. I guess the pace was a little off Transition 1
Comments: Bad T1. I had trouble getting the wetsuit off at the elbows of all places. WTF was that ?. Between the bad swim and bad T1, I was ready to just coast the rest. Glad I didn't. What would you do differently?: Not much. I should know how to do this by now Bike
Comments: I was happy with the bike. Hit my watts target. After first lap I saw it was going well, so I pushed. What would you do differently?: Not much Transition 2
Comments: Good T2, went smooth What would you do differently?: Nothing Run
Comments: I started off fast. First k was 4:10. I backed off a little, which was stupid. Second k 4;22. started feeling good at 3km so picked it up 4:14, 4:18 for the next two. I saw I wasn't too far behind a guy that usually wins my AG, I figured I had a podium shot, looked back and decided to push, but I was toast. 4:10 pace for the last K, which was short (did it in 3:45). What would you do differently?: nothing, maybe not back off 2nd km. That was wimpy. I don't like pain.... Post race
Warm down: nothing special. I looked at the results, realized I had podiumed (2nd), so was happy I was especially happy I beat all the guys that normally beat me. Except 1. What limited your ability to perform faster: nothing Event comments: Good event, but the 'pick up your medal at the counter' sucks. Last updated: 2010-08-22 12:00 AM

This was the last Quebec cup event. Last chance to get some points. I was ranked 5th overall going in. This was last chance to pull that up. I will have to wait for the final results, but I did improve my rank. I might have podiumed for the season/series. Yipee.
Nothing special. Got there early. Only had 1 extra large coffee this time
I cheered etccallhome82 in the duathlon. Not sure he heard me. He was running well.
Did one loop on the bike course (5km) and a bit of jogging. Felt crap on the warm up.
