Swim
Comments: Never got comfortable. Struggled with technique, other racers, packs turning at the buoy. Not adequately warmed up. Very poor swim. What would you do differently?: Train to stay in better shape in the months before the race! Transition 1
Comments: Still takes a while to get socks on but don't want to go without. Ran into a cluster at the bike mount area that slowed me down a few seconds but no biggie. What would you do differently?: Skip the rinse? Skip the socks? Bike
Comments: Really struggled to keep a decent pace. What would you do differently?: Stay in shape and not slack off for four months. Transition 2
Comments: Reasonable transition. What would you do differently?: I could try to speed it up a little Run
Comments: That run was definitely longer than 3.1 miles due to addition of the neighborhood jaunt. I "ran" all but about 1/4 mile and still had a horrible time. Not a good run for most other people but not a bad run for me. I just can't run very well. What would you do differently?: Get a new body that can actually run faster than most people walk. Post race
Warm down: Walked around, drank, and ate a banana. What limited your ability to perform faster: Limited training for past four months. Event comments: Deep water start done in the past was better for this race since the beach bottom had some rocks and debris and a few people cut their feet running in. Would have liked to see run course more accurately guaged for distance. Overall a very nice event on a beautiful day. Last updated: 2010-10-04 12:00 AM
