 Swim
Comments: i was passing people but wasn't working hard enough. i will have to enter a faster seed time at future races people were backed up to get out at the steps - i popped out on the wall next to the steps and passed 5 people - advice: don't wait What would you do differently?: get an attitude adjustment  Transition 1
Comments: i decided to run in the shoes because it wasn't a long trans area and i am not apt at getting into shoes while rolling. trans area went well for my first time with clipless pedals again- no timing What would you do differently?: learn to get on barefoot  Bike
Comments: i didn't list race pace because too easy wasn't an option What would you do differently?: get my head out of the sand Transition 2
Comments: i didn't pull my yankz tight. i forgot to take off my helmet ond glasses and had to stop and go back a few steps. yep that's right - no timing here either What would you do differently?: wear socks if it is cold. it is a new bike i need to make some adjustments. not forget stuff  Run
Comments: My feet were numb with cold for the first half mile. once they thawed i realized my laces were loose. loose shoes cause foot slappin casues shin problems - have you read enough of my whining yet? my goal was to be under 19. my stand alone 5ks are 18:03-18:17 so that was reasonable - especially with my lack of effort in bike and swim today. unfortunately my poor mental toughness followed me to this event. What would you do differently?: not be a panzie. tighten my laces Post race
Warm down: ran a half a mile. walked 1.5 miles. What limited your ability to perform faster: mental attitude. shoulder pain. Event comments: NO RACE SPLITS. Post race activities -A kroger bag with a banana and crackers? Lopsided transition area. Lots of tight turns in the 5k. Traffic not controlled in bike. What was going on at the start of the swim? i'm not really into riding a king of the mountains event. Mile markers either missing or not clear. To be fair to the event i may be taking my attitude/peformance to my overall race rating. The positives didn't have anything to do with what the race org did: I learned some things and friends were there. I doubt I'll do this race again. Last updated: 2009-04-05 12:00 AM

rode down with david tris the afternoon before. checked in, rode a few miles and ran a mile and a half had pb & j chips and beer. watch a movie and went to sleep.
up at 5:30
fruit grain bar, power bar oj and coffee
went to transition to find i was placed in the third row (so were david, newbz, and kate) i whined to david about this a bunch because this row required an extra 10-20 meters of running along with 4 turns that the other 2 rows didn't have (yes, i am still bitter)
several trips to the bathroom, meeting some BTers and general confusion about chips and starting time.
took a GU and couple shots of the inhaler and got in line to go.
warm up????
seriously - if i need to be out of the water half an hour before i start it wouldn't be a warm up anyway.
