Swim
Comments: I felt realy good through the whole swim I have been practicing sighting every 4th stroke to keep me in line and this worked perfect.Before the first bouy I slowed down for a second because I kept sucking in water then just took off and everything was good. What would you do differently?: More OWS practice. Transition 1
Comments: Everything went well untill I tried to start biking and a just could not get my feet to clip in. What would you do differently?: I guess I need to practice more jumping onto bike and clipping in. Bike
Comments: Felt like I kept a realy good pace throughout the course the hill are a little tuff but ok coming down can be a little spooky the corners are sharp and the road was wet in spots, and lots of potholes, and i'ts always unnerving when a semi blows by you at 60mph. What would you do differently?: Increase my race pace more T.I.T.S. Transition 2
Comments: This went very smoothly everything just clicked I was a little shakey putting my shoe's on from being cold but it was allright. What would you do differently?: nothing Run
Comments: This was the first time I got negative splits on a 5k run this makes me very happy. I pretty much kept it redline throughout even up the brutal hill at the start. What would you do differently?: more running. Post race
Warm down: It was easy to warm down all I had to do was stop running and wait a minute and the cold air did the rest. What limited your ability to perform faster: At this point in my training i think I did exactly what I could do. Event comments: This is a great local race and Stan always does a great BBQ with lots of beer and pop. Last updated: 2009-08-04 12:00 AM
