Swim
Comments: Overall pretty good. Adrenaline was pumping at go so my pace was off at start. Got my rhythym back after 2nd lap for a strong finish. What would you do differently?: Take it easier on first few laps and build to a faster finish. Transition 1
Comments: I sat down to put my shoes on which was a mistake because it felt good to sit. I also forgot to put my computer on my bike before hand so I rode without it. What would you do differently?: Remember to set up computer and stand to put on shoes. Bike
Comments: The course must have been a little longer than 12.5 because everyone's pace was about a mph faster. I did the math and estimated that the course was closer to 13.15 miles. Official race results read my pace to be 16.4 mph. What would you do differently?: Take hills better. Transition 2
Comments: Again I sat down to change shoes. I also forgot to take off my gloves so I had to stowe them in my gel pocket on the suit for the run. What would you do differently?: Stand to change shoes and remember to remove gloves. Run
Comments: The run is were I had my best rankings and it's my least favorite to train for and race...go figure. Calves hurt more than theighs this go so that was different. I think the run must have been shorter than 3.1 because the times were off here as well. 8:07 min/m. What would you do differently?: Learn to enjoy the run more. It is the LAST leg of the race after all. Post race
Warm down: Walk it off, walk it off. Got nauscious just after crossing the finish, but was okay after some water. What limited your ability to perform faster: Muscle fatigue more than endurance. Event comments: Really the only thing that irked me about this race was the packet pick-up situation. That's a long way to drive the day before the race if you don't live near Flower Mound. I almost didn't make it between 1-6 pm and I wouldn't have been able to race. I hope no one didn't get to race because of that. Last updated: 2005-10-17 12:00 AM
