![]() Swim
Comments: I seemed to have difficulty navigating which is strange since it was the easiest swim of the three races this summer. I think that because the first buoy was a considerable distance out there was more difficulty navigating. What would you do differently?: Raise my head for a sighting at a more frequent pace. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Shoes fell out of the clips when I jumped on the bike. When I did my warm up I placed the shoes in the clips with my hands. Big mistake. Next time will leave the shoes on the bike as I finish my warm up. That said it was a far better T1 than I have had before. What would you do differently?: See above ![]() Bike
Comments: I seemed slow throughout the race; I couldn't seem to catch a good rhythm on the bike. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Going into the transition area I lost one of my shoes again off the bike. Had to quickly grab it from an official; pain in the ass factor high, but I didn't lose much time. Still have figured out the best way to put socks on: sitting on the grass or standing up. This time I kept my helmet on until I was ready to start running. There should be no penalties this race!!! Timing chip didn't pick up my second transition time. I've estimated my T2 time and I have then calculated my run time. What would you do differently?: Be more careful pulling my feet out of the shoes and ensuring that they are still clipped in. ![]() Run
Comments: Best run of the summer; I came off the bike feeling good. No stomach cramps and my legs were loose (no brick feeling). Powered through the run and felt great. At no time did I feel like the runs on the other two races. I was able to pass people and had minimal people pass me. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Ate a hotdog; damn good. What limited your ability to perform faster: Still need work on the transitions and I'm still carrying too large of a Buddha. Event comments: It was great to win my age group for the clydes; the right way to end the season. Last updated: 2009-08-10 12:00 AM
