 Swim
Comments: My main concern was not to panic, for some reason I did last year, and that has stuck in my mind. It helped it ton by not sprinting and doing high knees along with powerful dolphin dives. I just found some space, started catch up drills, and worked into a decent groove. I put some Glide on my shoulder and a band aid as the suit was digging in the last two OW swims. It helped, no digging at all. What would you do differently?: Maybe sight a little better, but I thought I did a decent job. Waves were pretty high, so I just flat out couldn't see the buoys at times. Going in to the finish I was blinded by the sun, maybe I need new goggles.  Transition 1
Comments: Not bad. Got a little hung up with the suit and I tipped my bike a little losing some fluids from the Aero Drink. Got my shoe in the pedal on the second try. What would you do differently?: Nothing.  Bike
Comments: I was pretty happy with 21 MPH, it's the best I've ever done at this distance. Still need to improve if I ever want to hang with the big boys. What would you do differently?: Keep pushing it hard. Especially on the hills. Transition 2
Comments: talked to Jeff and Kendra during T2 and saw my folks on the way out of T2. I love running, so I was jacked to get it started. Grabbed the Fuel Belt but took 2 bottles out. Carried the GU flask for 13.1 friggin miles. What would you do differently?: Nto bring the GU Flask, just bring some GU  Run
Comments: Stomach cramp at mile 3 scared the crap out of me, but luckily it went away in no time at all. Kept the Enduralytes going every 30-45 minutes, even dropped one and stopped to dig through a leaf pile to find it. What would you do differently?: Run fast to get under 1.30 Post race
Warm down: massage tent two plates of fruit/carbs talked to Jeff and Rob talked to my folks and Brad's folks What limited your ability to perform faster: Hot on the run Event comments: water stations were a little bunched up, but very much appreciated when I got to them. Great race for me, a 10 minute PR. Hope to build off of that for Door County and finally IMWI~ Last updated: 2009-06-23 12:00 AM

Drank a TON of fluids on Friday as I knew it was going to be a hot one. Only problem is that I woke up 6 times to pee Friday night, and twice more Josh woke me up. Once I got up for good at 4:30 AM, I ate toast w/ PB, drank some GU20 and hit the john. Sipped on the drink all the way to HC. Stopped drinking 1 hour prior, then had a GU at 6:40 with a few sips of water. Took some Enduraltyes Friday night, Saturday AM also.
Set up T1 along side all of the carbon bikes with full discs wheels. Took the Felt out for a mile or two and made sure everything was working. Ran about a mile and found a porta potty off in the distance, emptied what was left in me. Headed towards the water at 6:40 and got hung up with my folks, Cammie, and Bill on the way down. Swam about 400 yards. Pretty choppy out there.
