 Swim
Comments: ended up with the 2nd fastest swim by 3 seconds. started 5th and within 200 meters had passed the 1st guy whose entry time was messed up, caught the heels of #4 at 200 meters and just hung in his draft for the 2nd 200, passed the #3 guy just before the 350 wall, then right at the finish pulled up along side #4 and got out with him. Then there was a crazy long run across the water park into transition, What would you do differently?: practice swimming...it was my first swim since the last triathlon, and my 4th swim since mudwater...in early june  Transition 1
Comments: long run to transition all but 3 people were over 1 min, got to my bike and got helmet on fast grabbed bike and gone, was the first person out of transition. What would you do differently?: nothing  Bike
Comments: good bike, held the lead for about 2 miles until kevin nickel (who i had a 30 second head start on) came flying by, then i was by myself for the next lap and a half, after that the road got pretty crowded with lots of bikers out on the course. Had a d bag tuck in behind me and rode my ass for nearly 2 laps, i tried a few surges, but on his road bike he was cornering alot faster than me so he'd catch back on, finally on the last lap i just blasted the legs and pulled away What would you do differently?: train on my bike Transition 2
Comments: ok transition, alot of fumbling that i wasnt to happy with, put the garmin on as i headed out of transition  Run
Comments: headed out on the run by myself and was able to just run by myself until 2.3 miles when i had the #4 guy pull up along side me. held with him for a 1/4 mile bu then had to let him go but he wasnt pulling away very fast. Then at 3 miles i saw kelci who told me to just GO! so i decided to risk a upchuck and sprint, ended up catching the #4 guy at the last little turn and blew past him to be the 2nd finisher What would you do differently?: nothing. Fastest 5k since high school cross country. in 2002 Post race
Warm down: sat around a bit, got a shower, put the bike away, had a apple, then continued to sit around for another 1 1/2 hours til awards. Ended up with 1st in my age group and a cool insulated water bottle, and a 15 buck gift card to the bike shop in hutch. Which turned into me buying new cycling gloves Event comments: i'll definately be back next year. It was a blast Last updated: 2010-07-22 12:00 AM

up at 4:30 and headed towards hutch, found the park pretty easily and got there around 6. Set up transition, got checked in, hit the bathroom and did some standing around
just hopped in the pool for a easy 100, pool was pretty warm then climbed out and got in the crazy long line to get ready for the swim.
