Swim
Comments: Started out on the right hand side, waited til about 75m to move to the inside. Had one swimmer who kept zig-zagging in from of me about 250m. Otherwise was a smooth swim What would you do differently?: Nothing, lots better swim than I did at the Rookie Transition 1
Comments: Had to wait for other races to get out of my way exiting the bike area. Ended up that my goggles when I threw them down hung on my wheel. Had to wait for a volunteer to grab them and put them in my tri top pocket. Had problems getting my caps off my cleats What would you do differently?: Need to practice having shoes attached to bike. Bike
Comments: Best bike ever. Pushed up on the hills, had great shifts on downhills and used the open flats to push for speed. What would you do differently?: Nothing, getting better with every race. Transition 2
Comments: Had to take it easy entering transition with bike shoes on, as it is a slight downhill to the rack. Still don't have Yankz on my running shoes, so slowed down a bit having to tie them What would you do differently?: Get my Yankz on my shoes. Run
Comments: Had great run. Passed a ton of people, felt great the whole time. Sprinted at the finish. What would you do differently?: Nothing, blown away that I had 7:29 splits Post race
Warm down: Took in lots of water, had my customary diet coke to cool off. Had back massage to relax. What limited your ability to perform faster: My swim time was better than previous races, but still need more pool time. Bike and run were right where and ahead of where I need to be right now. Onward to Longhorn. Event comments: Great race once again put on by J&A. Definately appreciated the cloud cover, expect Jack to find a way to get that back for next year. Mentioned that to him, and he told me it would probably be 110 degrees next year. LOL. Last updated: 2009-08-02 12:00 AM
