Swim
Comments: My first good swim. Only sighted like 4 times, I just followed some guys feet in front of me. Great drafting. Clear water was awesome. What would you do differently?: Not much, I took it easy so that I was fresh when I came out. Transition 1
Comments: Transition area were easily congested so there were many people to get around on my way in and out. They didn't have a little kiddies pool to get sand off my feet, apparently they expect everyone to bring their own tub of water in...what a pain... What would you do differently?: Be quicker, took a while getting sand off my feet, rolled on my back too becuase I got off balanced, so then I was all dirty... Bike
Comments: Rolling hills and a big downhill towards the end which rocked, I got going like 35+, but then noticed my water bottle was falling out! At that speed I had one hand on the bar and one near my feet trying to get that damn bottle...and I did...without bailing!! What would you do differently?: My goal was ave 19 mph, I thought I was going to be near 20 mph... So I guess I would train more... Transition 2
Comments: Transition enterence was congested... it was so narrow and I came in behind a big group of slow dismounters... What would you do differently?: Nothing I could really do... Run
Comments: About .5 mile into it I thought I was going to have to head back to the start line to take a mean duece, but it managed to subside - very lucky... 8:30 min miles on that course!?! I'll take it, that run sucked. I feel bad for the Oly's who had to run it twice. Haha! What would you do differently?: Train on hills but we don't really have any hills around here... Post race
Warm down: Stretched...walked around, ate some oranges and drank some gatorade. What limited your ability to perform faster: Biking hard and running slow... Event comments: Registration sucked. They had one line for both pre-registerers and registerers(sp?). It makes no sense to pre-register if you have to sit in the same line as same day registerers... Last updated: 2005-09-12 12:00 AM

Woke up at 4:00am, packed everything in under 3 min. Had an apple on the way.
None, I think swimming is enough of a warm up for everything else.
