Swim
Comments: Good swim, over all felt calm. What would you do differently?: Need to work on bi-lateral breathing when racing, helps balance out my stroke. I was pulling way too much with the right and not enough with the left, my right arm/shoulder became pretty tired. Transition 1
Comments: Long run up the beach/hill to the transition area. What would you do differently?: Make sure the bike is in an easier gear to take off, foolishly left in a harder gear from the last ride. Bike
Comments: Spent most of the first loop in the small ring, most of the second loop in the big ring. What would you do differently?: Warm-up on the bike much more then none, took approximately 5-6 miles to get the legs going. Need to ride more in general, but really need to focus more on hills. Transition 2
Comments: Good transition, felt slower then it was so no complaints. What would you do differently?: Maybe try taking shoes off before the transition and non-tying laces. Run
Comments: Wow Dead Legs for the first 2-2.5 miles, they just did not want to get going. Finally started to get into the rhythm towards the end of the run where they felt good. What would you do differently?: Practice the Bike to Run Bricks much more then the zero I've done this year. Post race
Warm down: walked a bit, drank some water, ate some fruit and stretched What limited your ability to perform faster: Not enough time on the bike, no bricks, no training in the hills. Event comments: Fun race, good distance, would do it again. Last updated: 2010-03-23 12:00 AM

Woke up way to early, enjoyed a Hazelnut Latte and Egg,Bacon,Muffin on the way to the race.
Swam 10-15 minutes before the start of my wave to get used to the cold water.
