Swim
Comments: I got a mouthful of water after the 1st buoy and it psyched me out. I cant figure out why I have problems swimming in open water. Maybe I get too excited at the beginning What would you do differently?: Keep head in water. quit getting psyched out when a wave hits you. Stay calm Transition 1
Comments: First time with cycling shoes so I put them on in T1. Good transition but the run in the sand (100m) was rough. I caught my breath quick and DID NOT FORGET MY HELMET THIS TIME!!! What would you do differently?: Nothing, just get quicker Bike
Comments: Felt fast on the bike. I passed over 30 people and got passed by 4. I was surprised as hard as I was going and still felt good. I didn't think I had a good swim so I wanted to make up for it with a good bike. What would you do differently?: Nothing, keep doing what I am doing, it's working at race time Transition 2
Comments: Don't know if this is a fast time or not. I waited until too late to take off shoes on bike, but I don't feel that it costed me that much time. Almost forgot shirt (with race number attached) but I remembered at the last minute. I did jump off a moving bike with style! What would you do differently?: Take off shoes before dismount Run
Comments: I have not run that far in a while b/c of stress fracture, but I HAD NO LEG PROBLEMS!!!YAY!!! Felt better off the bike than I thought I would. They had water stations at every mile (except 2 so I ran the whole way)that I walked through. Came out kind of slow but the last mile was around 8:30. Gave it all I had at that point. What would you do differently?: Not be stupid and get a stress fracture. Now that it is gone, I can run some and practice which will help Post race
Warm down: Was pretty tired so I walked and drank water/gatorade What limited your ability to perform faster: Not enough running b/c of injury Event comments: The extra length in the bike made it pretty tough. Felt good to finish it well after a bad swim. Last updated: 2006-02-15 12:00 AM
