Swim
Comments: Pretty crowded start. Started away from the pier this year to avoid the crush, but must have stopped 10 times after running into people. What would you do differently?: Not much. Possibly push a little harder. Transition 1
Comments: Forgot my biking shoes at home, and had the wife bring them to me along with the water bottle I forgot. Spent some extra time getting the laces tied and velcro'd in. What would you do differently?: Must have lost 15-20 seconds finding the shoes and getting them on. I will remember them next time. Bike
Comments: Decent ride. Passed a few but did not get passed by anyone on a mountain bike. I was pleased with my time based on the amount of training I put in. What would you do differently?: Not drink so much. Transition 2
Comments: My goal was to improve the run and T2 this year. T2 was much improved over last year. Bike rack collapsed when I uunloaded, and just laid the bike under the rack while going for the run. What would you do differently?: Find a better place for the bike. Run
Comments: Had very bad calf cramps in both legs at the start of the run, and was barely moving. By mile 2, I hit my stride and actually passed a few people. I was running very hard from the K of C hall to the finish line which was my goal. Should I have started running hard at the 2 mile marker? What would you do differently?: Start running harder at the two mile marker next year. Broke 30 minutes for the first time. Post race
Warm down: Drank some water, 1/2 bagel, and 1/2 banana. What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing. Event comments: As always this is well staffed(more than last year), and the competition is very good. Can't wait until next year. Last updated: 2010-01-10 12:00 AM
