![]() Swim
Comments: Did well until I turned the 3rd bouy. The sun was directly in my eyes and my glasses were fogged. I literally could not sight. I typically pull to the right and I did not let myself down. I pulled right and ended up at bouy #1 and realized I was way off course. I then pretty much sprinted to get back to the last bouy and round it. This took my legs and breathing out of rythm. I exited the water tired. Need more work sighting. What would you do differently?: Practice sighting and not get too excited if I get off course. I sprinted and fried my legs trying to get back on course. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Wetsuit came off easy. Decided not to mess with socks and that helped on the time. What would you do differently?: Forget the socks on shorter tris. Had no blisters also. I am not sure I was going fast enough to get one. LOL. ![]() Bike
Comments: The hills in the beginning were not so good for the legs. My legs were fried in the beginning because of these. What would you do differently?: Train on hills more. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Pretty good transition. What would you do differently?: Nothing ![]() Run
Comments: Legs were pretty wasted for the run. I was able to run the entire way but not at much of a good pace. What would you do differently?: Need to stick with training plan. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Ate a banana and some pancakes. Drank some gatorade also. What limited your ability to perform faster: Need much more endurance training although I am happy with the swim portion. I had no panic events and did get hit a few times but just kept going. Event comments: Nice event. It was well-organized and everyone was very accomodating. There were people at the turns to help you with direction and at the transition to help out also. Last updated: 2010-05-05 12:00 AM

Had a banana in the morning with 1 coffee and a bottle of gatorade.
Swam about 100 yards for a warm up. Streched out as much as I could. I was not nervous at all.
