Swim
Comments: I freaked out! I didn't swim prior to this tri... I thought I could just "wing it" and I thought wrong. I swam on my back - a modified back crawl. My wife, who started in a couple of waves later than me caught me and asked, "Are you all right?" NO I WAS NOT... but I finished and I have vowed to improve. What would you do differently?: Train Calm down and relax Transition 1
Comments: No real problems - a little disoriented - It was lonely. Not many bikes left in the transition area What would you do differently?: shoes on bike Bike
Comments: I enjoyed the ride - it ended too soon. What would you do differently?: Eat and drink more Transition 2
Comments: I could not find my spot... I was lost for a few minutes then I ran out of the in gate... My official transition time was 13 seconds - actually about 3 or 4 minutes... this affected my bike time, average time and place... What would you do differently?: Mark my spot better... Run
Comments: My best performance... although I enjoyed the ride more... I didn't run my hardest... I was surprised that my pace was 6:49 per mile. I just wanted to finish and didn't really push it. It was fun passing people. What would you do differently?: Swim better, ride better, run better. Post race
Warm down: Hung out with Nico (my daughter) and waited for Lilia (my wife) What limited your ability to perform faster: The swimming portion... Event comments: I enjoyed the race... I didn't expect to suck so bad swimming... Last updated: 2005-07-28 12:00 AM
