 Swim
Comments: I was happy with the swim would have been nice to go faster but this is the pace I trained for. Got into one situation with a guy doing the breast stroke in the middle of the lane. I had to be behind him for about a half a lane until able to pass. This slowed me down a bunch but I am sure it was his first race aa well. What would you do differently?: Perhaps be more aggressive with my passing other than that nothing. Wearing socks during swim really was convientent for the transition and didn't really feel all that funny maybe a little drag but not much  Transition 1
Comments: Wow never thought I was in the area this long. Got jersey on, glasses, race belt, and helmet. Felt really unsteady after the swim really wobbly but made it though. Took socks off to clean feet. Someone racked their bike on my stuff so when pulling my bike down I knocked their bike down. race staff helped. What would you do differently?: Just try to go faster. I might have run a bit quicker from pool to bike. But I was very happy with sequencing  Bike
Comments: Thought course was a bit hilly but it really wasn't bad at all. I got passed by one guy and passed a bunch of people. I felt really strong on the bike really strong. What would you do differently?: Maybe pick up the pace even more. I was coasting a lot on downhills and hammering up hills to conserve energy. I might pedal more on downhills to go a bit faster. Transition 2
Comments: Yeah downhill dismount and my shoe got stuck in my left pedal cage. This equals falling with the bike. Not very graceful and a little embarrasing. However my said I wasn't the only one and tons of people fell a lot worse than I did. I feel bad for them because falling sucked!!! What would you do differently?: Not FALL!!!!!  Run
Comments: Very tough and I did not go fast at all. However my goal was to never stop and walk and I accomplished this goal even when my race belt came undone I jogged even slower and was able to fix it. It was a tough run and I am proud of my performance even though it was slow in comparison to others. For me it was a tremendous accomplishment What would you do differently?: Next time I might try to put a little more pace going down the hills Post race
Warm down: Walked around a lot hugged my wife and son. ate a lot of oranges and drank a lot of water What limited your ability to perform faster: my wieght is still not great but I have come along way. With more wieghtloss I am sure my times will get faster and I will feel even better. Event comments: Cant really rate post race and overall race since this is my first. I enjoyed myself however and definitely see doing another event. Last updated: 2009-04-05 12:00 AM

Got up at 5:15. Had a bottle of water and half a bagel with peanut butter and honey. Got to race site about 5:50 starting setting up transition area. Had the other half of my bagel about 6:10 for a 7:40 start. Also drank half a jar of pickle juice. (I am a very salty sweater). Drinking watered down gatorade up until 30 minutes before start of race.
Stretching wanted to swim but missed my opportunity becuase of it being a staggered start pool swim.
