 Transition 1
Comments: Transition 1 is always a problem for me. I still like to wear socks and put a shirt on. I need to get a tri full length suit for the future. Putting on the shirt when your wet is always a time problem for me. What would you do differently?: Need to get a one piece tri suit for future event like this.  Bike
Comments: I pushed at a comfortable cadance and pace. I didn't want to over push considering I wanted to save some energy for the run. I thought I would pull about a 20 mile per hour pace. I did, so I was happy. The roads were open to traffic and I actually got caught up behind a car that wouldn't pass another rider who was going slower. I need to get out of the water quicker so I am not passing so many cyclists. What would you do differently?: Stay in areo position even more. Transition 2
Comments: Transition 2 went smoothly. My shoes went on quickly. My bike was on the far end of the rack area so I had to run to the end of the rack to put the bike away.. What would you do differently?: Have the race belt in the front position to start.  Run
Comments: Run was a steady pace. It was flat and I just kept moving. I had thoughts to stop and walk a few times but I had put in enough training to finish. What would you do differently?: I wouldn't change a thing about this run. It was steady and just the right energy exertion. Post race
Warm down: Walked around to cool down and then spoke to others about their accomplishment. It was a fun day. What limited your ability to perform faster: My main detractor was my swim time and run time. I need to focus on those two events. Everyone in the field around me had much worse bike times. This is my strong event and I don't need to work it nearly as much as the swim and run. Event comments: I plan to do Colonial Beach again next year. Maybe the Olympic Distance!!!!

I couldn't sleep the night before. My pool events had been local and this was out of town and I stayed at a hotel. Nerves and not using my bed made me turn a few times in the night. Finally got up early to go get breakfast.
My usual routine includes coffee and a bagel with cream cheese. Unfortunately there was no place in Colonial Beach open at 4am for something like this. I ended up at 4:10am in a 7 Eleven getting my coffee and a muffin instead. It filled me up.
Warm up was good. I stretched after setting up my transition area. I then went down and got in the
