Swim
Comments: Never really felt comfortable on the swim (a recurring theme all night). Ended up with a pretty decent time. Ended up with a pretty decent time though, so maybe uncomfortableness was due to swimming hard. Ended up taking a mouthful of pond water on the last breath before I got out of the water. Was choking and gagging on the way to T1. Ended up with the fastest split of the four races by 3 seconds. What would you do differently?: Not choke on the water Transition 1
Comments: Fast T1. Had no problem once I cleared the water from my lungs. Wesuit peeled right off, slipped shoes and socks on and was off. What would you do differently?: nothing Bike
Comments: Again, never felt comfortable on the bike. I forgot my aero bottle at home, so had to drink out of the bottle on the cage, which I really don't enjoy doing, so I didn't take in nearly enough fluid. Was trying to push it on the bike, but it seemed like I was getting passed more than I was passing. Ended up with teh fastest split of the four races by 50 seconds. What would you do differently?: Not forget aerobottle Transition 2
Comments: went pretty smoothly Run
Comments: Again, never felt comfortable. Found my legs right away, just never seemed to find a good rhythm. Just tried to hang on through most off the run. Ended up with the fastes split of the 4 races by 7 seconds. What would you do differently?: Lose a few more lbs. Post race
Warm down: Walk around, try to find my lungs What limited your ability to perform faster: nothing Event comments: Good last race,e ven though I never felt good during the race. Must mean I was racing right about to my ability. Ended up with the fastest splits of the year in all three disciplines, which was the goal going in. Last updated: 2005-08-12 12:00 AM
