 Swim
Comments: Really happy with this effort. I wouldn't change anything. What would you do differently?: Nothing. I was pleased.  Transition 1
Comments: Wetsuit strippers always make a big difference. One less big thing to worry about. I flew through T1 as it was pretty big. What would you do differently?: Nothing, I was still on my "A" game at this point.  Bike
Comments: Tailwind going out on Quincy (uphill) and headwind/crosswind coming back in to the Res. At least heading west it's downhill. Just killed my average speed. Going out I was at 19.2, by the time I got back to T2 my Garmin said the speed was 17.9 . I also found the course according to my Garmin a little long. I heard this from others too. I was pretty happy with my RPE, I wish the time were faster. What would you do differently?: Bike more I suppose. And put a better climbing cassette on my bike. Transition 2
Comments: Fastest T2 yet this year. I was definitely mentally prepared for what I needed to do. What would you do differently?: Nothing.  Run
Comments: Haha. About what I expected. I continue to suck at running. But the important thing is that I ran the entire course, save for one aid station when I took in a Gu. I've had some issues with HR spikes, and I wanted to ensure I looked respectable. Whatever. It is what it is. What would you do differently?: Probably could have pushed harder, but I didn't want to injure myself or run out of gas. I am just not a runner and I have to find the desire to become one if I ever want to excel in this sport. Post race
Warm down: No need to warm down- it was cold out! I put on the hat and shirt they gave away to warm up. Ate a little food, talked with all the BT'ers there- MechEChick, TriOK, Wavedog, Odenelli, KateKLewicki, and some others. What limited your ability to perform faster: I need to focus on running more. Period. I still spend too much time swimming and not enough running. Need to get over myself. This is not Aquabike, this is triathlon. Event comments: Still my favorite race of the year. I'll continue doing it again and again. Last updated: 2010-01-26 12:00 AM

Up @ 4:15. Some raisin toast and a V8 for breakfast, got to the race site @ 5:15. They didn't open till 5:30, so I sat in the car for a bit. I packed the night before and was relatively relaxed all morning.
Heh. 1st mistake of the day. I sat around and chatted with people, met up with Keri and walked around, wasting time. Should have taken this more seriously, but I was dead tired after only 4 hours of sleep the night before. Made sure my tranisition area was perfect, got on the wetsuit, and I was ready to roll.
