 Swim
What would you do differently?: I gotta figure out a way to hit the water warmed up. Then I'll be much faster.  Transition 1
Comments: Again, T1 is easy when it's empty. My wave was long gone by the time I got to my bike! I had a great spot in the transition area and plenty of time to make sure everything was as it was supposed to be before I got wet. What would you do differently?: T1 was as good as I can do it. I can try to do the shoes on the bike thing, or run more, but my hear was slamming, so I figured it was a good take it easy point in the race.  Bike
What would you do differently?: As I continue to do races I'm sure I'll push harder on the bike. I'm still too worried about running out of gas on the run to really give 100% on the bike. This wasn't my best bike time on this course, and I can only imagine that's why. Transition 2
Comments: DOH -- Forgot my race belt/number! Had to retrace about 50 yards of the run out. What would you do differently?: Gotta make sure that the race belt is on top of my sneakers.  Run
Comments: Really ran "my race" during the run. I was happy with where my HR was, I walked 4 water stations to get some liquid in me, I walked up the two sections of hill that I planned to walk. Next year, it'll be 11:00 miles, but this year was about getting to the end with a smile. What would you do differently?: Just have to train to handle a race this long. I've got to work on run pace. Post race
Warm down: Got lots of water (three bottles), shade. My buddy Ian was there to meet his wife (who passed me on the run with about half a mile left). Got a great photo. What limited your ability to perform faster: I've got to get more comfortable really pushing myself during the bike and the run. There's a shorter sprint next, so perhaps that's one that I can really bite into and not worry about "just finishing," but finishing fast. Event comments: There's a LOT of people at this event. The organizers did a FANTASTIC job. Profile Album Last updated: 2010-01-12 12:00 AM

Up EARLY. Ate granola, milk and a banana. Washed it all down with a Gatorade.
No warm-up, though I think for the next race I'm going to try to jog to get aerobic before the swim. The start of the swim is still tough for me until I get warmed up.
