Swim
Comments: First swimming competition - second OW swim. Most importantly, I was very comfortable with the OW. First 200m was very slow and lots of beginner banging! What would you do differently?: Do what Dills did - get away from the gooberheads and swim like hell to get position! Transition 1
Comments: I put my watch on the outside of my wetsuit, then forgot to remove it while running up the beach. had to put the sleeve back on to get the watch off! Doh! What would you do differently?: 1. Watch inside wetsuit 2. Get a tri top to wear in the wetsuit 3. No socks (for short runs) 4. Put the elastic laces (that I already bought) on my shoes. Run
Comments: Very tight calves to start the run. Almost had some leg cramps just getting out of the wet suit and into the shoes. After 200m legs were great and i found some speed. What would you do differently?: Push harder sooner. Post race
Warm down: chat chat chat Jog out to run in with Infosteward! What limited your ability to perform faster: Experience. the beauty of this series is that it's a chance to learn and train. Nice small crowd in a fantastic location. How lucky to get to play in this cool park!!! Anyway, as long as I'm learning and making my mistakes here, then I should be faster & more comfortable in REAL races. Oh, and I need more swimming strength & endurance. I think I'll start swimming 2 laps here on Mon & Wed. That's 3600m twice a week. Should help the endurance. Event comments: Felt like a "club race". Very cool! And, who needs an aid station at 2.5k? Just git your buns to the line and join the fiesta! I wonder how many racers were there!? Maybe 100. Last updated: 2005-05-19 12:00 AM
