 Swim
Comments: 2nd out of 6 on the Swim. Kept up front andvery close to the line.It was really cold and for some reason i kept forgetting to kick. I was probably at 95% effort level. What would you do differently?: Kick more. The swim is over so quick i dont know if more swim training would help. 4.44 Was the winning swim time in my group. Get my knees higher when running  Transition 1
Comments: Winner of T1 in my group. Somehow a bunch of water got stuck in my wetsuit which was weird. Plent of glide on ankles and feet seemd to help alot. The overall winner had a 48 second T1. What would you do differently?: Seeing as transistion was not numbered i think keeping my bike on the end of a rack would help here.  Bike
Comments: Went as fast as i could really. 1st place 46.04 Second 45.11 Top Winner Joe Yander 40.31 What would you do differently?: I need to keep losing weight. Maybe practice race pace more. Transition 2
Comments: Got a little stuck behind some in transition. But not to bad. Was joint first in my group for T2 Winner was 25 seconds. Again Next year remember placement of bike!!! What would you do differently?: Get my bike in a better slot. Make sure my ipod does not get stuck in my shoe. Get helmet off while running in.  Run
Comments: This is the fastest i have ever run a 5k! I won my group for the run! In the last 1/4 mile i got chicked but i picked it right up and sprinted in to overtake her. I was very happy with this time. Think how much quicker it will be when i lose 40lbs! This run was awesome. What would you do differently?: I am dedicated to losing weight and picking up some speed next year! Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: When you look back i was fast everywhere. The only thing that made me 3rd was losing about 4-5 mins on the bike. I need to work on this. I think with the weight loss it will help. I need to get out on Thursday but i need to squeak in some Mondays even when i get dropped. I spent time mentally pre paring and i need to do more of this. Event comments: The race itself is a good one. About 200 people and i really like you can shower there and relax. This is my home YMCA. The non numbered racking can be an issue and i saw 2 men almost get in a fight over spots. I gave up mine so they wouldnt fight! Last updated: 2011-06-28 12:00 AM

Taped a GU Gel to my frame and filed my water bottle
Went in the water jogged around a little bit. The water was crazy cold! 57F. Very odd for this time of year.
