 Swim
Comments: I haven't swam as much this month but I thought I did ok. My garmin clocked the swim at 1880 yrds that is 1:30 pace. The ave times were about 35 min, and pros were in the 23 min. So I think I did ok. The current was strong. What would you do differently?: Need to swim a little more. Swimming without the goggles was a learning experience. Not as bad as I would have thought it would be.  Transition 1
Comments: Great T1, was pretty fast ran up found the bike no problem and just started running out instantly. very good.  Bike
Comments: Garmin gave me completely different data versus race. Duration: 1:04:46 Work: 814 kJ TSS: 96 Norm Power:223 VI: 1.07 Ave Power: 210 Since I use the 310xt its hard to tell ave power, I started with 215w but since there are 4 bridges on each loop and i was trying to conserve energy once I hit 28 mph I stopped peddaling hence power would come down. As per JorgeM I was to start at 90% and then increase. First loop legs were a little jello. By the second loop I was at 220w which is 93%. But HR was very low I should have increased but was afraid. In the end AP was 210 whcih is 89% of FTP. What would you do differently?: Got to look at HR also. Transition 2
Comments: not much can be said this was a fast time. What would you do differently?: not much  Run
Comments: Not sure what happend but 5th mile was brutal and then on the 6th with the bridge I had to walk for a bit. felt drained at the end of the run. What would you do differently?: Not much on my part there was no shade and the sun was simply frying things on that road. Post race
Warm down: went to medical tent and they dumped ice all over me. cooled off and went on my way. had 4 bottles of water, 1 bottle of muscle milk, 1 juice. What limited your ability to perform faster: long swim and heat on the run. Event comments: Swim should be looked at, this is the second year and its against strong current and way too long for olympic distance. Last updated: 2010-09-10 12:00 AM

Was little worried about this race as last year I didn't sleep and eat enough and finished dehydrated. Race last year was miserable. Well the same thing happened. Although i got to bed at 9pm I didn't fall asleep till 12:30am and got up 4 hrs later.
Went downstairs fixed half a bagel and coffee packed everything and was off by 4:45. In the car ate a banana.
Got to the transition and setup everything in about 10 min. And met up with friends on the way to the ferry.
Swam about 100 yrds. The water felt cold and considering my goggles were lost when I jumped off the ferry I was very nervous and agrevated. We are not talking about swimming 400 yrds no goggles but entire olympic distance.
