![]() Swim
What would you do differently?: Settle into a rhythm much sooner. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Took at least 500m to get into my shoes. What would you do differently?: Since the transition area was nearly all grass I should have just put on my shoes and ran with them through the transition. ![]() Bike
Comments: First turn had no flagger so I followed the racer in front of me the wrong way, downhill of course. What would you do differently?: Chain my water bottle to my bike! ![]() Transition 2
![]() Run
Comments: Man I just didn't have it. Run is always my weakest event, but I wasn't psyched out about it, my last brick went well. First 500m cramped in both groins, never cramped there before. Went downhill from there. Stopped at least three times to walk. Very disappointed in the run portion. What would you do differently?: Train and then train some more. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Stumble to the shade and let kids use me as a jungle gym. What limited your ability to perform faster: Run. How about another water station organizers? Event comments: First off you have to have restroom facilities for racers. Flaggers should be at every turn on the bike section. I was put off by the time chip mat being removed and the clock turned off before the last runner was off the course. Where did the organizers have to be so quickly on a Sunday morning? I didn't even see or hear the awards ceremony, nor did I find the post race snacks and drink options to be sufficient. Perhaps like me the organizers had an off day. I will certainly shoot for a better performance next time hopefully Champ Racing will too. Last updated: 2009-05-19 12:00 AM

Set up area, play with kids. Search for porta john to no avail. How do you not have restroom facilities at a race?
Short run and stretch.
