Swim
Comments: Have been working on some stuff over the last month which has really helped out alot. started off to the right and as i was trolling along all of sudden i noticed the turn buouy, must say, a lot sooner than expected!!! (which is a good thing, um isnt it?) What would you do differently?: nothing. Transition 1
Comments: narrown crowded run from beach to transition.......wetsuit came off pretty good this time around.....took a bit of time to rearrange running shoes which got disorganized somehow... What would you do differently?: leave shoes alone? oh and grab the gel i had laid out for the bike ride! Bike
Comments: pushed this as hard as i thought i could......bike focus has not been there this year so im happy with how this ended up What would you do differently?: remember to take that gel i had laid out in T1! Transition 2
Run
Comments: k, um, who turned this course into an xterra event??? out of transition, into the parking and then thru a field with some tall grass.......keep in mind that we had a huge rain storm last week and everything in southeast wisconsin flooded.....including this area of the course!! they did try to compensate some by laying down some plywood but that was only wide enough for one person basically, not the pack of 5-6 i was in!! so off the wood into the much and almost lost a shoe!!! oh well, suck it up, move on and deal right?? What would you do differently?: that gel i left in T1 that i would taking at about mile 10ish on the bike wouldve been kinda beneficial me thinks!! Post race
Warm down: ham sammich, coca cola, gatorade, cheering, interview, cheering, donut, gatorade, dr. pepper, drive home What limited your ability to perform faster: nadda. good race. they didnt take the top three overall out of age group awards. first in my age group was the overall winner, 2nd in age group came in 2nd overall............ Event comments: liked the course better from two years ago......the swamp land out of T2 put a hurt on the legs!! Last updated: 2010-07-21 12:00 AM
