 Swim
Comments: I came in 314/660 overall, 110/302, and 15/39 ... still long ways to go What would you do differently?: No more breast stroke!  Transition 1
Comments: Long run to transition ... I did get out of the water really fast, flu up the stairs, and into transition ... I had a little bit of trouble getting my wetsuit off my feet, but not bad ... I had issues getting clipped into my pedals ... my sunglasses fogged up cuz my face was too wet, and my foot kept slipping of the pedal ... clip in already ... my transition time was 133/660, 39/302, and 6/39 ... What would you do differently?: I want to learn how to jump on my bike so I don't have to run and stop, clip in and go ... I want one fluid motion ...  Bike
Comments: I came in 136/660 overall, 18/302, and 3/39 ... What would you do differently?: Not very much ... if it wasn't for my premature 3 week taper, I would have liked to push it maybe a bit harder ... Transition 2
Comments: Long run to my set up ... couldn't get my right shoe unclipped and started to panic a little bit. It finally came off! Then I couldn't get my race belt clipped either .. UGH! By the time I figured that out on the move, it was all twisted and made for a nice souvenir. If you want to see, just ask ...  Run
Comments: oh boy oh boy ... I was just dying ... I took the first mile way too fast, thinking that I'll be able to hold on to that pace, but boy was I wrong ... come mile 2, I hit the wall ... I was seriously thinking about stopping. My legs felt fine, but my lungs were hurting and hurting bad ... I was trying to get my heart rate under control but it wasn't happening, I felt like I was carrying someone with me, and they were sitting on my chest .. BOO ... I used my mental strength (I guess I have some), and decided to keep on moving ... I was moving, but significantly slower, and slower, and my speed wasn't picking up ... they had water stops at every mile, so I took a cup each time and poured it all over me ... felt good but wasn't very smart .. come like the 4th mile, my shoes were soaked, and squeaking with every step I took ... I really was spent, and even got passed by a chick from my age group ... I tried to stay with her, but my lungs really just couldn't do it ... she ended up running a 6:59 which was my original goal ... I did catch up to someone else in my age group and managed to go by her and keep her off in the last half mile or so .. I did pick up the speed but obviously not by that much ... I was so glad it was over ... I was exactly 2 min slower than on June 5th at Mooseman, which is a much hillier course ... I came in 162/660, 47/302, and 10/39 What would you do differently?: Do not take 3 week vacation before your A race ... :) Post race
Warm down: Stretch out at marathon sports ... What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of training ... Event comments: No bike or helmet numbers ... otherwise a pretty well organized race ... Last updated: 2009-06-16 12:00 AM

I had the usual bagel with peanut butter and jelly, banana, and a cliff bar closer to the swim start. What wasn't cool is that when I showed up at my car in the morning, my passenger side side mirror was ripped off! Ugh!
