Swim
Comments: race started befor person in my lane was done, I wasnt even in the water yet, wasnt warmed up and had to follow last wave for 25 meters. not a way to start a race. my googels were thrown on quickly and leaked bad. After the first 100 did get in a groove but swimming is usually my best but not today. Was 30 sec faster last summer. What would you do differently?: have race start after my lane is clear, also be more ready to go with google on. Transition 1
Comments: good T1, was a little off from swim but got back into groove. did the shoes on pedal thing, could have gotten shoes on better but not bad overall. What would you do differently?: keep working on getting on bike while running and getting shoes on faster. Bike
Comments: felt good on bike only got passed by 2 and keeped Dave in my sights the whole race. best bike I have raced. there was a few parts where I should have pushed harder, let HR drop to low. What would you do differently?: push it more... Transition 2
Comments: bad dismount from bike, did take bike shoes off befor and that went well. What would you do differently?: practice dismounting bike. Run
Comments: first mile realy good caught dave befor mile 1, was passed by marvin at mile 2 (he is much better runner than me) at mile 3 Gorman passed me, I tried to run with him but didnt have any gass left. had a big cussion so slow up the last .5 mile with mild side cramping. didnt have much legs left What would you do differently?: push harder the last mile Post race
Event comments: was a little worried about starting the heats on time and left me not ready for swim, overall my best race in 3 years Last updated: 2007-05-15 12:00 AM
