 Swim
Comments: Due to start logistics I had a hard time getting up to the fast swimmers and drafting. Drafting became impossible when we swam through the two waves ahead of us. What would you do differently?: With a pier dive start, nothing  Transition 1
 Bike
Comments: Had trouble getting in a groove. I really like the course. My bike fit on the time trial bike needs adjustment. I had trouble keeping a good pedal stroke. Adjustments will be made. My bike placement is unacceptable for me, but I know how to fix it. It will be fixed What would you do differently?: Bike fit needs tweaking Transition 2
 Run
Comments: Took it too easy for first half of course. Let the 3rd place guy pace me and was counting on pacing right and him blowing up. Well that never happened. What would you do differently?: Push it a little closer to redline Post race
Warm down: Drank two bottles of gatorade and stretched for 10 minutes. Ate a personal pan pizza and packed up to leave. Not preferred recovery routine, but I am taking the week off to relax so no need to bounce back immediately for training. Had to haul home to prepare my wife's suprise birthday party and prepare for the inlaws arrival from out of town. What limited your ability to perform faster: Bike fit and pushing a little beyond comfort level. I know what needs to be done bike-wise. Event comments: Very good race organization. Fun swim. Very nice bike course. Last updated: 2005-08-11 12:00 AM
