Swim
Comments: Good swim for me, despite all the debris in the water. I wanted to get further out into the middle to catch more current, but was stuck closer to shore but ended up with a good time for me. What would you do differently?: Learn to swim faster to improve my time even more. Transition 1
Comments: I was so worried about being able to get my wetsuit off my feet, but there were these young boys offering to strip the thing off. How could I say not to that! They saved me several minutes I am sure. What would you do differently?: Make sure to only do races with wetsuit strippers. Bike
Comments: Ok bike for me, I didn't really push too hard because I didn't want to blow up on the run. Should have pushed it more. Had to make a pit stop at the last water exchange which should have taken less than a minute but took three because there was a guy in the port-o-potty and he wouldn't come out! What would you do differently?: Push myself harder. Transition 2
Comments: Quick for me. Run
Comments: By the time I got off the bike I was feeling so sick to my stomach. I just ran/walked the 13.1 miles the best I could. I never stopped moving forward. What would you do differently?: Figure out why I feel sick at races. Once I figure that out, learn to run faster. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Sloshing sick feeling stomach. Event comments: I wanted to break 6 hours, which I did. I wish I had finished feeling better though. Yesterday I thought I never wanted to race again, but today I'm trying to figure out which HIM to do next. And of course Louisville next year, I guess since I paid for it I'll have to do it too. I think this race was very well organized. The mandatory meeting and packet pickup went smooth, expo had a lot of cool stuff. On race day every wave seemed to start right on time. Tons of volunteers out on the course, all of them very nice and encouraging. Only complaint is the shirt, it's very boxy and fits horribly. Other than that, they did a great job with as many athletes as they had. Last updated: 2009-09-28 12:00 AM
