Swim
Comments: I felt pretty strong. Passed like 6-7 people. It was really obnoxious though because some people were pretty rude about letting me pass. What would you do differently?: Nothing, just pass harder, maybe kick the last dude that I passed. He was a real prick. Transition 1
Comments: Umm... kind of a poor start to the bike. I really didn't know what to do though. I think that I could have gone faster. What would you do differently?: Not much. I just would have made sure that I went much faster. Bike
Comments: I really nailed the second loop. Other than the hills at the first part of the course, the second loop was a lot stronger than the first. I passed over 20 people on the ride. It was great picking people off like that! I shocked myself. What would you do differently?: Not too much. More liquids and I need to handle turns better. Transition 2
Comments: I NEED YANKZ!!! I think that T2 went reasonably well. What would you do differently?: Get some Yankz and make sure that I take a quick shot of water or something before taking off Run
Comments: The T2 and run times are estimates, but they're pretty accurate according to my watch. I walked through the first water station because I had sideaches on both sides. Umm... I think that I did resonably well. I felt like I was going a lot slower than I really was. I guess I did pretty well on the run. I worked hard on the downhill so that I could pick up time there. What would you do differently?: I think that I would have tried to grind out that backside a little better and pushed through the whole thing. The hill was killer. Post race
Warm down: Didn't have much time to warm down. Jogged a little, stretched a little. What limited your ability to perform faster: Not much rest this past week. I have been very busy because of school, so I have had late nights and early mornings for a few weeks. Event comments: I did it! Did my first triathlon, and won my age group in the process, fancy that!?! I really liked the race. I think part of that could be attributed to meeting a bunch of studs from BT, but I really like how everything was run. I look forward to doing it again next year! Last updated: 2006-01-10 12:00 AM
