 Swim
Comments: it was a bit of a difficult swim but I managed to do OK...plenty of opportunities to panic but did not do so... What would you do differently?: keep working on spotting and just do more open water swims (which I plan to do next season)...  Transition 1
Comments: very steep hill coming out of transition so rode with feet on top of shoes for a good mile or so...14/26 in age group... What would you do differently?: more practice getting the wetsuit off...  Bike
Comments: the RD said this course "was on the bubble" in terms of difficulty... What would you do differently?: keep practicing hills, HIIT, and keep working on endurance...I am sure I can take 10 min off time next year!!!... Transition 2
Comments: I felt pretty good at this point having taken the last mile easier in preparation for the run...3/26 in age group... What would you do differently?: not much...  Run
Comments: this run was almost as hard as the bike course...I actually had to walk 3 times for about 30 sec each time...still got a decent run time but it could have been better... What would you do differently?: practice running more hills, HIIT...longer BRicks (?)... Post race
Warm down: walked, waited for Sarah, THEN I ate (shoulda eaten sooner)...did prep my transition area to more easily pack up while waiting for Sarah... What limited your ability to perform faster: need more Olympic Tri exposure (this was my first), do more speed work and endurance work... Event comments: good event...plan on doing next year and try to get a place at the host hotel... Last updated: 2009-09-01 12:00 AM
