![]() Swim
Comments: Water is pretty dark and as it was my first OWS triathlon, I didn't do a lot of freestyle swimming. Probably need to do more in the future. What would you do differently?: More freestyle swimming ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Picked up a lot of grass and probably didn't get all of it off prior to socks. What would you do differently?: Should have brought a 2nd towel and the bucket I left in the car to sit on during transition. Took a lot of time putting on my riding gloves. ![]() Bike
Comments: Rode my mountain bike with slicks on it. First time riding any significant distance with my riding shoes. Went well overall. What would you do differently?: Buy a road bike ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Transition area was a little crowded so we kind of walked our bikes in. Somebody in my rack aisle put a * chalk mark on the ground so that made it easier to find the actual rack. Very nice! Helped on T1 and T2. What would you do differently?: Nothing ![]() Run
Comments: Only had about 8 miles on my new running shoes and I got a blister on my right foot during the run. Not sure if it was from the new shoes or from grass and stuff left on my foot after T1. ![]() Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: First OWS, so poor sighting and freestyle swimming...afraid of swimming off course. Mountain bike probably held me back a bit on the ride. Run went well, just need to run more. Event comments: Of the 2 tris I've been in this was the best. :) Last updated: 2009-05-19 12:00 AM

Woke up at 4:00 AM. Ate a single piece of bread w/ peanut butter, cup of yogurt and a granola bar. Got up to transition area, checked tire pressure and that was about it.
Not too much, actually.
