![]() Swim
Comments: There were some big train wrecks in the water. What would you do differently?: The swim start is seeded based upon reported, expected finishing time. I mis-timed by about two and a half minutes. Next year, I'll report a faster (and more appropriate) speed so I'm not needing to pass as much. ![]() Transition 1
What would you do differently?: Have better set up area and better thought process. Tried keeping my shoes on my bike. Major disaster. Just going to put bike shoes on in T1. ![]() Bike
What would you do differently?: Go faster! Ride more hills. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: This transition was awful. Can't say much more. What would you do differently?: Everything. ![]() Run
Comments: I didn't cramp this time! So, that's the good news. Walked about 30 yards of it up the steep hill. What would you do differently?: Not walk at all. Just keep doing bricks and this will get better. I really thought I ran faster than that, even with the walking. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Walked around looking for my peeps. What limited your ability to perform faster: I'm happy with my training so far this year. My worst spots were transitions. On to the next one . . . Event comments: This race would've rated better, except that the transition area was a complete mess. Last updated: 2010-04-05 12:00 AM

Get kids ready and get out of the hotel. Set up in the transition area was a complete mess. The organizers created bike racks from PVC piping. However, they weren't sufficiently braced, so a number of the rows collapsed, leading to fallen bikes. I found a spot to lay down my bike. However, with space becoming a premium, there wasn't sufficient area to really set up.
Rush around getting numbered, chipped, set up. Didn't think to warm up before I hit the water.
