Swim
Comments: Damn goggles fogged up. Could not navigate well. Go a new pair that did not fog, but leak. Need new ones that don't either. What would you do differently?: new goggles, train to swim faster now that I have endurance down. Did not reach goal of 27 minutes Transition 1
Comments: don't feel confident running barefoot and putting on shoes while riding yet. What would you do differently?: need some more silicone spray for suit to come off faster. Still was a good transition time compared to other races. ran out of water and to bike. Bike
Comments: go penalized for drafting. Thought was bogus. Kept passing one guy and he would pass me. When behind I tried staying to the left to stay out of his draft. Guess they though differently. My time stated on his is minus the penalty. What would you do differently?: be faster. But my bike is my strongest. I ranged 30th overall on this! My goal was 24 mph though. Transition 2
What would you do differently?: learn how to jump off bike with shoes still in pedals and me barefoot. Run
Comments: terrible, terrible run! I focused on this for the past 2 months. Pretty much bonked on the run. I really, really need to get faster. Maybe I put too much effort in the bike? So I don't have enough for run after? This run hurt. Needed to walk a couple of times. I also felt bloated, maybe I was dehydrated. Stopped at an aid station and had some gatoraid. Seemed to perk up after that. But I don't run and drink too well. Side aches and sloshing. What would you do differently?: train more for running i guess. be lighter. Running is my biggest challenge for some reason. I give up a lot of places because I am not running in the 7 min. per mile range. Post race
Warm down: strectched, walked, had to ride bike back up to francis- brutal. McDonalds, watched a movie. What limited your ability to perform faster: running for sure! Event comments: I really wish people would mark the mile markers on runs more accurately. It's like they mark a couple markers, and forget about a bunch in the middle. Really hard to determine what the pace is. Last updated: 2009-08-30 12:00 AM
