Swim
Comments: 20" out of the water, another minute up the hill to transition Transition 1
Comments: dried off, socks & shoes on for the bike. What would you do differently?: hustle Bike
Comments: no time prior to the race to see what the course looked like. was pretty slick, lots of roots & ruts, so i was pretty cautious on the downhills and off camber stuff. Transition 2
Run
Comments: had to walk a lot of the hills, my boots were soaked from sweat, water & mud, felt like they weighed 5 lbs each. the last .3M felt as long and hard as the first 3 miles. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: lack of any "triathlon" specific training the past year. Last updated: 2009-05-25 12:00 AM

took kristy and the kids, packed the camper, made a weekend of the race at scales lake park
didn't even think about changing from EDT to CDT, so i was an hour early for 6am registration.. could have used the extra hour sleep.
