![]() Swim
Comments: Swam well - got in a perfect spot behind and outside of a good swimmer and followed. Waves were by race number, so lots of slower swimmers to pass, but didnt have any issue with bumping. What would you do differently?: Nothing - good line, good swim. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Felt slow, but time was ok. Struggled getting socks on (again) - need to ride barefoot in shoes. What would you do differently?: No socks. ![]() Bike
Comments: Perhaps my fastest bike ever - I felt great and gave it all I had. A bit clumsy out of the start getting feet set, but then I flew. Tried to keep pace with a couple of "real" bikers. Very pleased. What would you do differently?: Nothing except improve my start. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Almost wiped out while running with my bike - almost missed the gate into transition! What a spaz! Got running shoes on fast and got going. TOre my race number from one of the holders on my belt, so had to tuck it into the belt to keep it from flapping. What would you do differently?: Watch where I'm going. Dont tear the number. ![]() Run
Comments: Felt ok - passed 2 and got passed by 1 (the eventual winner). Slower than past 5k's but perhaps the hill was a factor. What would you do differently?: Shouls have averaged 8min miles at least. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Couldn't beleive how high I finished, so kind of basked in the glory! Got som water and cleaned up my area. Cheered on others for awhile. I stayed for the awards and found out they only gave for #1 in age, so I missed out. Oh well. What limited your ability to perform faster: Think I could have done a faster run - havent trained as much in recent weeks. Event comments: Good local race in my hometown. Good volunteers and set up. Great venue for a race. Last updated: 2010-03-14 12:00 AM

Got up at 5:15, had coffee and peanut butter sandwich. Got there early to get close parking and just wandered around and chatted. Nice to actually know some people at one of these! Transition area was tight and people's bikes were not alternating directions, so spaec was difficult to manage. Tried to help first timers without sounding like a know-it-all.
Stretched and did a little swimming.
