Swim
Comments: The swim went really well. I was 11th in my age group out of the water. This is quickly becoming my favorite part of the race. I got to much in the middle of the pack than I would have preferred and really had a lot of bumping and grabbing in the water, but I felt strong on the water. What would you do differently?: Get alittle more outside of the group so I was not swimming over people. Transition 1
Comments: T1 went a little bad, I wanted to wear my biking shirt since it was really hott and sunny, but the shirt was so tight I had trouble getting it on, then had trouble getting my shoes clipped into my pedals, also could not wear my bike gloves, so I ditched them. Also we had to bag all of our stuff up for them to transport it to the 2nd transition area, which was new to me. What would you do differently?: Have a bigger biking shirt and not worry about wearing gloves. Bike
Comments: I felt ok on the bike, and tried to keep a constant average up, but some of the hills took a lot out of me. The wind was a problem too. I was happy with my time overall, but I still need to average a faster pace. What would you do differently?: Work on gear shifts, faster overall pace. Transition 2
Comments: T2 seemed to go a lot smother than T2. What would you do differently?: Not alot actually, except try to get there faster. Run
Comments: The run was tough for me, I would have sworn it was a out and back route and kept waiting for the turn around point, which never came! I was alittle surprised when I saw the finish line and then had to turn away from it and run around the block to finish, which was a shocker! What would you do differently?: more brick workouts and continued running. If I stop the first time, makes it easier for me to stop a second time. Overall, I was happy with my run time. I am making progress. Post race
Warm down: Roam around the finish area and grab some water waiting for wife and kids. What limited your ability to perform faster: I think the vcation probably didn't help, but I need to work on the bike and run portion more. Event comments: Only thing I did not really like abot this race was not knowing there was a seperate place to drop off your shoes, then you had to bag up your swim stuff before the bike and then having to get shuttled back to pick everything up. It was hard on the wife and kids becasue they got to see very little of the race. Last updated: 2008-02-20 12:00 AM
