Swim
Comments: Swim went better than I expected being as I thought it would be my worst event. I did poorly sighting which affected my time however my breathing was good and I felt comfortable the entire swim. What would you do differently?: Sight better Transition 1
Comments: Went great for my first race. Was listed as 5 fastest in Clydesdale below 40. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Bike
Comments: Ride went well.... I hoped to average 20 and fell below that pace, and I think I paced myself a little slow trying to save energy for the run. Ride was enjoyable but I didn't push myself as hard as I should have pushed. What would you do differently?: Push a little harder Transition 2
Comments: Everything went great (I actually felt like I knew what I was doing), then as I'm about to leave transition, someone yells, "Wears your number?" Darn I forget to put my race belt on....... and my race is at the furthest corner of transition. I sprint back to my rack and place my race belt on, but by now my mind is racing about the making the mistake. What would you do differently?: Put my number on. Run
Comments: After my mishap in T2 it took me about 2 miles to compose myself, and get my heart rate under control. My last mile was my fastest, but they were all slower than my training times. I was surprised how one mishap could affect my mental state so much. What would you do differently?: PUT my number on in T2, and not let a mishap affect me so much. Post race
Warm down: Drank recoverite, spoke to John, Justin, Craig, Merry and Keri and spent ime with my family. Also spoke to several other BTers. It was a great time. What limited your ability to perform faster: Just learning how to pace... should have went harder on the bike, and stayed more foucs during the run. Event comments: Average since this was my first race and have nothing to compare it to. Last updated: 2009-06-09 12:00 AM

I woke up at 3:30am, ate a bagel with peanut butter and honey, and an apple and drank 24 oz of water. My truck was already loaded up so I left the house around 4am.
Swam about 250 meters as a warm up and ran for about 5 minutes
