Comments: Came out fast for the first mile.Slowed a little then fast for the third mile. I tried to catch a guy i knew was a bit faster than me. I didnt hold back. He just beat me in but anything less than a 8 min mile is crazy fast for me. What would you do differently?: I really really need to lose 25 pounds. I could be so much faster!! If i can go 8min miles at 230LBS what could i do at 200 pounds?  Transition 1
Comments: Still too scared to leave my shoes in the pedals. I need to work on this for next year. 16th out of 28. Winner was 47 seconds. Also my quick realase on my front wheel got stuck in someone elses spokes on the rack. Need to make sure that does not happen. Cost me about 10 seconds. What would you do differently?: Practice leaving shoes in pedals. I was happy with how i did. Need Triathlon shoes (NEED lol)  Bike
Comments: I pushed hard here all the way. I was dead set to have an average speed of over 20mph. My normal is 18-19. I wanted to win the Cydesdale division so bad and i knew i had to get an average of over 20 as my running was slow. Only once or twice it dropped to 18mph on a hill. Alot of 23-24 mpph on the flats. Still it was not fast enough What would you do differently?: I went all out crazy speed. 20 LBS less i hope to be faster! Transition 2
Comments: Winner was 27 seconds. I could not get my arm warmers off as i couldnt catch my breath and focus. Felt like i was going to fall over putting on my shoes. Did get my helmet unstrapped while running in. What would you do differently?: Need to learn to get out my bike shoes while riding. Run in with socks and pull my shoes on. I have been practicing a little. Maybe pull off arm warmers while riding too? Practice no hand riding more. Run
Comments: Ran as fast as i could. Saw my friend Jackie out there and that helped speed me up. I was so hoping to place in Cydesdale. Post race
Warm down: Got my print out results. 10th! :(. Aww well. Maybe next time. Winner was 1:51., 2nd 1:54 and third 1:58. So i was 8 mins from third place. How am i gona get there next year i wonder? What limited your ability to perform faster: Just weight. Event comments: Good race. Excellant venue! Thanks MidWest! Keep it up. Profile Album Last updated: 2010-09-27 12:00 AM

Got up at 4.30am and left at 5am to get there for 6am. Stopped to pick up some water but did not eat or drink before the race (i know better) Verry foggy on the way up there. I had done a 4 mile running race the day before this race.
I saw my BT Buddy Jerry!!! Sweet! Dan from Heavy Pedal was here too.
I ran about 1 mile or for about 10 mins to make sure i was doing ok. I seemed ok. No stomach problems today
