Swim
Transition 1
Comments: Good transition with exception of a short struggle with biking gloves. Still not sure if they are worth wearing during a race. What would you do differently?: Gloves or not? Bike
Comments: Started drinking as soon as possible. Drank about every 3 miles and took one last drink as I was leaving the transition area. Had undiluted Gatorade only. Best time of my age group. What would you do differently?: Try to stay on the drops the whole way. When I got winded I got on the risers for a slight rest and possibly a drink. Transition 2
Comments: Took one last drink of Gatorade before starting out on the run. Run
Comments: Got a cramp in my right calf about 25 steps from my bike. Stopped and massaged it out--took about 30 seconds. Happened again about the 1/4 mile mark. Massaged it again and didn't have any more trouble or pain at all in it for the rest of the run. What would you do differently?: Stretch calves good prerace and concentrate on heel down while biking. That seems to help. Post race
Warm down: Sat on the grass in the shade of a big tree and stretched. Drank ice water. What limited your ability to perform faster: Not enough swim or run training. Not enough time on the drops. Cramp in right calf. Event comments: Like the pool swim and the flat, fast bike and run courses. Most of the competitors were at my ability level. Last updated: 2005-06-26 12:00 AM
