 Swim
Comments: fairly mild conditions, because we swam side shore to the waves. outside surf was 3-5 feet, but inside swim course was pretty mellow. some coral initially, but wasn't too much of a problem. good guides, although hated the exhaust smell from the jetski's. almost made me ralph. glad I bought goggles with clear lenses, water was dark. way easier swim than the last 2 tri's. was a bit hard to spot the buoy due to the weave in the outbound leg. What would you do differently?: swim faster !  Transition 1
Comments: Long run from the swim finish. I wore gloves, and tried to put them on after getting on the road, was hard to do. What would you do differently?: probably next time either no gloves or just put them on in the transition area.  Bike
Comments: Good course, quite a few moderate hills. 1 difficult hill "heartbreak" in Hawaii Kai. Otherwise good course. Felt decent, although some gusty headwinds on the way out. Getting more used to aero position, helped my time. sore butt ! What would you do differently?: get some body lube. train harder. bike is my slowest segment. Transition 2
Comments: ok T2. ran off with my gloves on. What would you do differently?: practice !  Run
Comments: legs felt ok after about the 2 mile mark. stomach ok, not too sloshy. full running strength about 1/2 way through. overall happy with the run. What would you do differently?: train more ! Post race
Warm down: walked, drank the rest of my accelerade, got gatorade and water. ate a banana. What limited your ability to perform faster: need to train more specifically for triathlons. training was adequate, but to get a better time, more effective training is needed. practice transitions of course !! Event comments: This was my first Tinman. I just started doing tri's this year, and so it was also my first Olympic class tri. I really liked it overall and looking forward to next year. excellent organization. Last updated: 2009-07-29 12:00 AM

work up at the ungodly hour of 2:30am, downed a OJ/Green Envy, took a Redbull, Cliff Bar, Oatbar, GU, Banana, and Accelerade in the car.
Drove from kailua. Found parking wasn't too bad, which I feared.
self body marked, got the bike ready, rode around in the parking lot a bit. checked in, racked the bike, laid out my stuff, and stretched. Had time to kill.
