![]() Swim
Comments: I think I put myself back too far in the swim, haven't been to sure of my swim performance so i've been conservative when entering an estimated time.. probably passed 6-10 people, lots of choke points at the walls, etc. was probably able to pull a 7 min or little under if I would've been further up. What would you do differently?: submit a shorter estimated time.. continue to work on my swim... ![]() Transition 1
Comments: first time in cycling shoes.. having tri specific shoes definitely helped, came in after a guy who was still wratcheting his down when I left. was able to clip in the right foot without issue, but struggled on the left, not sure what was up.. need more practice.. What would you do differently?: practice mounts/dismounts. ![]() Bike
Comments: didn't get much bike time in the week before and it showed, not bad considering.. need to spend more time on the bike, but training for a marathon as well so that's my current focus.. What would you do differently?: practice mounting/dismounting, more time in the saddle ![]() Transition 2
Comments: out of shoes/helmet quickly and into runing shoes.. yanks make all the difference.. although had to do one twice, cost me a few seconds... What would you do differently?: practice more dismounts...maybe riding barefoot eventually.. ![]() Run
Comments: on start of run thought I had a rock/pebble in my shoe had to stop and get out.. ended up being my road ID that i put in there so as not to lose it when I relaced my shoes.. ooops.. run had some good hillls, couldn't catch my breath early enugh.. had to walk for about 15 seconds to work out a side stitch, but was able to push through it. What would you do differently?: not put my road ID in my shoe, but ON my shoe.. maybe start slower out of the gate, think that was the reason for my side stitch.. ![]() Post race
Warm down: stretching, walking around.. eating PBJ sandwhiches.. What limited your ability to perform faster: i was just tired coming into the race.. events of the day before just wiped me out. Event comments: didnt' stick around to see what went on, wanted to get home to check on my little boy.. Last updated: 2009-09-01 12:00 AM
