 Swim
Comments: The Bouys weren't attached yet to the ground so they actually added on an additional 200 yards cause they were drifting around the water! I kept thinking my sighting/navigation sucked. But it wasn't really me but the Bouys moving around in the wind... I did get really excited at the start and never really caught my breath... What would you do differently?: Sight a little better but really the bouys moving sucked! Nothing I could have done about it. Stay calm and catch my breath early in the swim...  Transition 1
Comments: I aced getting out of the wetsuit finally! Felt like a champ putting my Helmet and shades on and sliding right out of the suit at the same time! I had the toughest time getting my damn feet into my shoes once I was on my bike. I got the left foot in 1st and then messed with the right shoe for the 1st 2 miles or so.... It totally killed my bike time! I need Tri Bike shoes ASAP! I actually broke my toe fucking around with this! didn't know it at the time cause my feet were numb! What would you do differently?: Get Tri bike shoes and practice my jump onto the bike  Bike
Comments: I really planned on going hard on the bike but messing with my bike shoes kind of killed my strategy! I still pushed it really hard but never felt fully recovered from my struggle with my shoes... I still had a good time once I was locked in though! Didn't even realize I broke my toe from messing with my bike shoes! What would you do differently?: Have bike Tri shoes and pushed it a bit harder on the hills! Transition 2
Comments: Felt really good about my transitions... much better than my 2 minute times last year! What would you do differently?: Not worn the shades or visor to save more time. They weren't really needed for such a short sprint!  Run
Comments: The wheels came off about a mile into the run... my breathing was really heavy and then I knew I was hurting... I did 6:05 mile one and then I had to ease back to stop my side ache and to cathch my breath... then I started to feel that my toe was broken and that really slowed me down! What would you do differently?: Not break my toe messing with bike shoes... Post race
Warm down: Walk/jogged 800 yards and then talked with other triathletes... What limited your ability to perform faster: Bike shoes, staying relaxed on the swim, and breaking my toe... Event comments: Had a good time overall. I really loved the people at this race everyone seemed to know eachother. The pros were really cool too! Being a USAT sanctioned event made it REALLY competative! I'll do better next time! Next time I'm top 3 in age group no matter what! Last updated: 2009-05-14 12:00 AM

Nothing really unusual... got up and had Uncle Sam's Cereal and Stawberries. Showered , Shaved, and went to race check in at 5:30 am!
50 yards in the water after setting up and then it was time to RACE!
I felt so much more calm than my 1st Tri last year at Cresent Moon! (This is only my 2nd Tri ever!) It just felt like another training day to me... I was still totally excited but much more relaxed. I was so much more outgoing and spoke with everyone around me... today was totally gonna be fun! :)
