 Swim
Comments: Good swim, and I love the starts. Forget sitting in the back or to the side, get up in there and fight for that spot in the water! I got on a pair of feet at about the 100M mark and stayed there until the first turn. Rounded the first bouy well and was on my own for the next 500M. Found another set of feet and drafted to the end of the swim. 250M run up a hill to T1 was killer. What would you do differently?: Pretty happy with this swim but I did feel I could have gone faster if I wasn't drafting so much. That said the swim felt effortless.  Transition 1
Comments: T1 was good and bad. Long run up to T1 and I dropped a gel from my jersey, official picked it up and ran up to me to give it back. I got my finger stuck on the timing chip trying to get the last leg out and took me a few seconds to realize why I couldn't get my leg out. After that everything went smooth. Glasses, helmet, shoes and I was out the door. What would you do differently?: Get the wetsuit of faster, leave gels on the bike. I thought putting them in my jersey they would stay there for the run, they didn't.  Bike
Comments: Felt good on the bike. I knew it would be hilly and I was ready mentally. Started taking in fluids and some Clif Bloks and then started to forget. Was in the zone on the bike and it wasn't until the race was over that I realized I only consumed 500 of the 700 calories I planned on taking in. Still felt good throughout the run though. What would you do differently?: Follow my nutrition plan completely. Transition 2
Comments: T2 was good, legs were a bit wobbly coming off the bike but by the time I got to the rack I was fine. Quick change a gel and I was on my way. What would you do differently?: Do it all faster.  Run
Comments: The first 2KM were tough with two hills right out of T2. I paced the uphills and went faster coming down the hills but in the end I feel I might have been able to hold a faster pace up the hills. What would you do differently?: More food on the bike might have helped but I'll never know. Will train on hillier routes. Post race
Warm down: Walk, water, walk and stretched. Calves were tight from the run. Got some food and felt better. What limited your ability to perform faster: Probably on bike nutrition Event comments: Great race and a good primer for the Ironman Muskoka 70.3 Profile Album Last updated: 2010-04-30 12:00 AM

Got up at 5am, had a shower, ate a bagel and started sipping some Powerade. Got to the venue at 6am and set up my transition before going for a warm up swim and finishing the Powerade. Ate one Gu Gel about 10 minutes before the swim start.
10 minutes of swimming and some light stretching
