 Swim
Comments: 2007: 6:59 2009: 6:42 I lined up to the far right - so I probably had a little extra to swim. Funny though I still got my fare share of being kicked and elbowed. Couldn't get my breathing - sometimes I took subsequent breathes on the same side; sometimes I took my regular left/right/left breathing rhythm.  Transition 1
Comments: 2007: 1:30 2009: 1:49 For whatever reason I just couldn't get my feet in my shoes - not until about 100th or 101st Street.  Bike
Comments: 2007: 32:19 2009: 33:31 I just felt like crap - seemed like I started strong, but by the North return on the 2nd lap my legs felt like they were desd. Nice tailwind hesding South on the course and a pretty strong headwind heading back North on the course that just beat me down. The 1st two laps heading SOuth I was right around 23mph or 24mph; following the turn to head North i dropped to 19mph or 20mph. What would you do differently?: decided to not take any water with me - I'm changing my mind; I need a little bit of fluid on the bike to prep me for the run. Transition 2
Comments: 2007: 1:32 2009: 1:29 What would you do differently?: nothing  Run
Comments: 2007: 34:04 2009: 32:31 What would you do differently?: keep running and lose weight. I also don't push myself hard enough on the run. I haven't had my lungs or muscles burn. It's like a jog. A lot of my running deficiencies have to do with the mental part of it. Post race
Warm down: Jumped back in the lagoon to cool down. Showered and then went to look for my cousin. What limited your ability to perform faster: not pushing my self in the run. need to push harder. probably the same with the bike. I can go faster.

Woke up at 4AM. Ate a whole wheat bagel w/ peanut butter and a clif bar with some Powerade. got my gear togerther and rode over to the yacht club by 5:30AM.
after setting up transition, my cousin Peter and I went out for about a 20 minute ride to make sure everything was ok with our bikes. We got back and went for a 15 minute run. After running I went down on one of the docks to stretch and put my wetsuit on. After the wetsuit went on I jumped in the lagoon around 7AM so I would have about 15 minutes to warmup prior to the pre-race meeting.
