 Swim
Comments: The swim went really well. I was in the front pack for the entire thing. Knowing the river well I was able to navigate the course better than most. Swimming with the current rules! What would you do differently?: Like my last race, I probably could have pushed the swim even a little bit more.  Transition 1
Comments: I dropped my stupid swim cap on the run into the transition area. Without even thinking about it I turned back to retrieve it. I slipped as I turned back a fell to one knee. Super annoying. Other than that, T1 went well. What would you do differently?: Leave the stupid swim cap.  Bike
Comments: Man, this bike course was hard for me. It was all up hill the first part... no rest the entire way up. I pushed hard on the climb and even harder on the downhill, but all that climbing really took it out of me. What would you do differently?: Practice more continued climbs. Transition 2
Comments: The girl in front of me dropped her shoe right in my path as I was dismounting. But other than dodging that, T2 went fast. What would you do differently?: Nothing.  Run
Comments: It seemed really hot on the run. My legs were shot and I went pretty slow on the first lap. Oh, and I had to pee really bad on the first lap and just went off the course behind a tree. The second lap was better and I was able to push it the last mile or so. No one passed me on the last mile or so. What would you do differently?: Just learn to run faster. Post race
Warm down: Walked a bit and then grabbed some water and beer. What limited your ability to perform faster: I need to work harder on sustained climbs on the bike and I need to get faster on my run. Event comments: Need a porta-potty outside the transition area and it didn't have any mile markers on the course. But other than that it was great. Last updated: 2010-06-22 12:00 AM

The started a little rough... after making a nice bike breakfast I proceeded to drop the entire plate of food onto myself, the couch, and the floor. I had to make a second breakfast and that put me behind schedule a bit. But I was able to get packed up and setup at the transition. Ate a banana about 20 mins before the start.
Swam and floated in the river for about 8 minutes getting used to the temperature.
