 Run
Comments: It didn't take long for me to realize that I could push as hard as I did a couple of months ago. I lost a lot of that top end speed. This felt a lot harder than it was. What would you do differently?: Train?  Transition 1
Comments: Pretty quick here. I'm fairly pleased What would you do differently?: Remember to tape my Gu to the bike instead of having to stick it in my shorts!  Bike
Comments: Once again, my lack of fitness was obvious fairly quickly. I couldn't push very hard and just had to keep it steady. I felt like I was fighting the cross wind for most of the ride. My calves started to cramp near the end. What would you do differently?: Once again, train more, especially riding in the aero position. I've been riding in large groups too much that don't give me opportunities to train in my bars. Transition 2
Comments: Pretty quick again. Run
Comments: It took me a mile to get the cramps in my calves worked out, but fortunately they're used to running. Considering how little training I've done, I'm fairly pleased with this run and I think that with a little more training I could go much faster. By this point the heat was out and the humidity was a killer. I tried to keep it steady but was very happy to see the finish. Post race
Warm down: Ice towel over the shoulders, massage and get out of the sun! What limited your ability to perform faster: I just need to get back into doing real training. I've been running and cycling, but not with any intensity. I also need to take some electrolyte replacements. Event comments: Good race for a fairly small venue. I like the location. The course wasn't great, but it was well supported and safe. I'd do this again. Last updated: 2010-06-09 12:00 AM

Woke up early, had a bowl of oatmeal and a 5hr energy(instead of coffee). I have been sick for the past few days so I had to deal with some stomach issues, leaving me a bit dehydrated and weak before the race. We drove down to La Porte and got set up for the race.
Ran about a mile nice and easy.
