 Swim
Comments: Sure was cold on the first leg of the rectangle, but then got used to it. I was happy to be passing some people, and had fairly open water throughout. Felt that I stayed on course well, rounding right next to the buoys. Just felt that the swim was so quick that I couldn't settle into a rhythm and was rushing my stroke. What would you do differently?: I need to do more training at race pace to combine form, efficiency, and speed!  Transition 1
Comments: Apparently this is my most competitive part of the race... surprised to see that my T1 time is right up there with a lot of the top finishers. I had a nice rack spot too... Used the wetsuit strippers, but still having difficulty with getting the velcro undone on the wetsuit which slows me a little bit. Did put on socks for the Oly distance. What would you do differently?: Need to work on getting the velcro undone on the back of the wetsuit.  Bike
Comments: Not an easy course, especially with my lack of training lately, but I gave it my all after having regretted holding back on the Mooseman bike course. What would you do differently?: Need to get on track with training, work on hills. Transition 2
Comments: Barely passed my spot with my bike, but no big deal. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Run
Comments: Well, my legs were definitely slower off the bike with this race, but that's to be expected after going all out on the bike. I think each mile was a negative split which felt good. What would you do differently?: train more. Post race
Warm down: food, stretching, "ice bath" for the legs in the pond What limited your ability to perform faster: lack of training. ? need better fit (and aero bars!) on bike. Event comments: Great venue. Just wish the bike didn't have to be 2nd half uphill Last updated: 2009-07-06 12:00 AM

pre-race bkfast (waffles, pb, syrup & coffee) 2 hrs before, set-up transition about an hour+ before (this routine is getting much easier/quicker now that I have a couple under my belt).
minimal - a few minute jog and some stretching. No way was I getting into that 53 degree water before I needed to!
