Swim
Comments: I'm don't love swimming so couldn't hope for much better speed. What would you do differently?: Not much Transition 1
Comments: 400 yard runup from the lake exit, didn't do bad against the field. What would you do differently?: Don't bother with shoes on the runup. Bike
Comments: My biking is coming along. I was a little tired to start for a week of vacation & long hikes, but oh well. What would you do differently?: Work the flats a hair more. Transition 2
Comments: Decent transition because I don't mount/dismount with my shoes on the bike. Run
Comments: Well it was darn hot & I was dying out there, just not as badly as some others. Got to see Mom again & family along the run. Managed to pass someone in my age group on an uphill in the last mile, really rare for me. What would you do differently?: Sunscreen? Post race
Warm down: Rode bike back to hotel to shower & check out. What limited your ability to perform faster: Heat Event comments: I'd go back any time I had a chance. The cost was low, venue beautiful and race support great. Last updated: 2007-08-29 12:00 AM

Stayed at the Inn at FCF so nice & close. Got up 1.5 hours before start, ate some cereal, had coffee.
Rode over from the Inn, seeing deer along the way, trotted to make sure my shoes were fine, swam 300 yards to get my rhythm.
