Swim
Comments: Not a terrible swim but just never felt like I had a good rhythm or strong pull. Just felt like I was thrashing through the water...never settled in to a strong efficient pull being able to glide through the water. What would you do differently?: Maybe relax and trust the pull phase - not just move arms faster - be efficient! Transition 1
Comments: Not bad considering I am usually terrible in and out of transition. What would you do differently?: Continue to get faster. Bike
Comments: Happy with the bike - pushed hard but never overdid it. Looking back I think I could have pushed the bike, particularly the slight inclines where I downshifted a couple times instead of just powering through them. I think the extra push would have improved the bike and possibly not have negatively ipacted my run too bad - juts a hunch b/c the run wasn't as fast as I'd had hoped anyway. What would you do differently?: Just push a bit harder thoughout and let it go a bit more. Transition 2
Comments: Once again - not bad. Probably still too slow getting shoes on and helmet off... What would you do differently?: Get faster. Run
Comments: A pretty solid run especially early on - my first 2 miles were strong and I was able to pace off of Kendro for awhile before he just pulled away. First mile was 6:24 and second was 6:30. My last 2.2 was a bit slower and just didn't have the extra gear I've had before but I knew I wasn't catching him and Mike told me I was good heading in so I just tried to finish strong. What would you do differently?: Nothing really...just wish I could turn it over faster - really thought I'd run 6:15 pace - just didn't happen. Post race
Warm down: Jogged with Kendro a bit before having some recovery and jumping in the lake to rinse/cool off. What limited your ability to perform faster: Maybe traing up to the race including Friday - maybe just need to continue to train to run faster off of a fast bike! Event comments: Another good experience at Lake Lenape. Enjoyed the sprint experience and it was cool leading on the bike for awhile til Kendro caught up. Hoping to do it again next year and already have some goals. Really enjoyed doing the race with Rusty and hopefully we'll do some others in the future. Last updated: 2010-05-05 12:00 AM

Woke up and showered before having a PB bagel. Had a bit of coffee and sipped on some water and EFS before the race. Ran a little for a warm-up and then hung with the family for a bit.
Quick jog with Rusty
