![]() Swim
Comments: Kept drifting right and my sighting was rusty. What would you do differently?: Use goggle defogger and practice more OWS ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Took me too long to get suit off feet. Mounting bike was poor and didn't get clipped in before course started uphill. Only about 10 yards from mount line to hill! What would you do differently?: Needed some more spray on inside legs of suit. ![]() Bike
Comments: Took one left turn too tight and tried to pass someone one the right at the same time. Good idea except a car pulled past the stop line and nearly clipped me. The rest of the ride was good. What would you do differently?: Be a little more cautious on turns. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Pretty quick for me. Run exit was 100 yds downhill and then the uphill started ![]() Run
Comments: Didn't have much zip in legs today. Wimped out and walked for 30 seconds up a hill at mile 1.8 What would you do differently?: Not do a brick practice 2 days before race. ![]() Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Fatique and emotion were not the best for race Event comments: 1. The swim is a little long so don't panic if your times are slower than you'd expect for the distance. 2. The first 5 miles of the bike feel like they are all uphill. At least that's what I wrote in both my race reports 3. The first mile of the run is, pretty much, a long gradual uphill. It hurts! BUT, since it's an out-and-back, the last mile is pretty much down hill. Yay! 4. Nice lake but venue was just OK for a 2 hour drive Last updated: 2009-12-29 12:00 AM
