 Swim
Comments: I arrived on the beach about 45 seconds before the horne sounded for my wave so I did not get a chance to warm up at all. BIG Mistake (Mental Note: always, always, always, warm up before the swim)! I started out to fast and lost my breath quickly and I quickly transgressed into a modified breast stoke, then side stroke, then treading water and it took me well over 5 minutes to gain my composure. Once I got going again and got into a rythmn, things went fine, but I knew that I would never recover from the poor start so I decidedto relax and let it come to me. What would you do differently?: Lets see.... Hummm? Maybe... WARM UP!  Transition 1
Comments: I was disappointed at my swim and that carried over into T1. I could not find the pull on my wetsuit and then proceeded to go through the transistion at a much more relaxed pace then normal. What would you do differently?: Warm up before the swim. Not doing so puts me in a very bad mood.  Bike
Comments: I followed my worst swim ever with a respectable bike performance. I guess settling into a relaxed, no pressure attitude paid off as I felt pretty good through out. What would you do differently?: I think that warming up a little before the start of the swim might have helped out here a little. Transition 2
Comments: Came off of the bike very poorly. Was not focused and waited until I was stoped to dismount. What would you do differently?: Kick a leg over while still in motion on the dismount.  Run
Comments: Nice easy relaxed pace. Stopped very briefly to rehydrate when I probably should have just slowed a little. By this time I was just relaxing, joking around, and ttrying to encourage others. Post race
Warm down: Went pretty much straight from the finish to the mens room to relieve myself. Walked a little, drank a lot of GR and had a couple of pretty good quarter subs. What limited your ability to perform faster: Did I mention that I did not warm up before the start of the swim? Event comments: Nice course, nice race, and well organized.

I picked up my packet early so I did not see the venue until race day. I planed to arrive early, but even my best made plans went arye andI arrived late. I lost my googles during transistion set up and spent any spare time that I might have had looking for them, but got the transistion area set up nicely.
