Swim
Comments: Damn Left turns, I swam way out of my way. What would you do differently?: more sighting- it was pitiful, but I felt smooth and fresh! Transition 1
Comments: Not great, hit a cone. It was a pretty long run in my bike shoes-about 100yds? What would you do differently?: Not much, practice transitions I guess. Bike
Comments: I need to bike more, 37th is weak. I need to do more spinning with the crazywoman-Susan. What would you do differently?: Hit the bike a little harder. Overall I grade my bike average, but mostly because of where I placed in this portion. I felt good and was faster than i have been so at least i am improving. Bike is definatley somewhere I need more work. Transition 2
Comments: I thought this was good, rubbed my feet-toes were numb. What would you do differently?: Get my feet out of shoes next time-more transition practice Run
Comments: Mile 1-really rough start with numb toes Mile 2- still pretty tight legs Mile 3-felt great, good pace What would you do differently?: Push more in second mile and start my kick coming home a little sooner Post race
Warm down: jogging, stretching What limited your ability to perform faster: Other than just training more-which I certainly need, I need more swimming outdoors to practice navigation, Lot's more time in saddle( longer rides and speed work), and some transition-specific practice. Event comments: I thought this was a goiod race. Great for beginners, and great for a short first race of the year. A little cold for me, but what a beautiful day. We had a great time and will definatley look at this in 2010 as a perfect opener. Last updated: 2009-05-31 12:00 AM
