 Swim
Comments: Only one contact, and started the swim with my goggles on my head. Rookie move. What would you do differently?: Put my goggles on my eyes. Bring towel to get water out of my face for the run.  Transition 1
Comments: I had to replace the ripped contact. That was a bit tricky because the wind was threatening to blow it off my finger. What would you do differently?: I was so not prepared physically for this race. I needed a few minutes to recover. Obviously train more in the 3 weeks prior.  Bike
Comments: Again, not prepared, I really struggled, more than usual for that course. What would you do differently?: Spend more time in the saddle Transition 2
 Run
Comments: I've really struggled with running for the past 3 weeks. All of my runs have been followed (and during) by bouts of repiratory problem. Not sure what the deal is, but today was no different. Even now, several hours later, I still feel some soreness in my lungs. With that being said, I took several walking breaks, and still managed to finish in under a 12 mmile, which was considerable faster than I felt. Post race
Warm down: Walking, chocolate milk, water and a banana. Then some yummy mexican food with some fellow sharks. Event comments: This race went as well as can be expected with the last minute swim change. I wasn't too jazzed about the added run, but I think it mirrored what my time would've been with an ow swim. Last updated: 2009-05-25 12:00 AM

Wake up at 4:30, didn't fall asleep until almost 1am. Cinn Raisin bagel with peanut butter, and a glass of skim milk. A small luna bar before the swim. Nursed a water bottle before the race
OW swim was cancelled due to a bad water test (roundworm eggs), so the replaced it with a 75 yard pool swim and a 1 mile run to transition. We stood in line for about 30-40 min. I stretched quite a bit before. My left knee was giving me greif, so I worked on that a bit. My contact tore in half in my eye, so until I could get to T1, I did the swim and first run with one contact. That was wierd.
