Swim
Comments: Wish I hadnt worn a wetsuit. I found it really slowed me down due to the added weight of the water in the suit. Really tired me out and had a hard time navigating and kept drifting wide. Swollowed half the lake. Really affected me later in the race. What would you do differently?: Not wear a wetsuit Transition 1
Comments: Transition was good. Didnt spend too much time changing. What would you do differently?: Bring a towel. Bike
Comments: Bike was good to start though I really tired out later on. It wasnt until the last km or two that I regained a bit of energy. For most of the bike I felt sick due to taking in a large amount of water from the swim. Felt light headed. What would you do differently?: Get more training in. Transition 2
Comments: Fairly good. Run
Comments: Coming off of the bike was quite hard. I was barely running. Had to stop and stretch for about 15s to get my legs working again. What would you do differently?: Increase my pace. As the run went on, I continued to get more energy but didnt use it for fear of running out. Brick workouts. Its all about the prep. Post race
Warm down: Walk around. Drink water. What limited your ability to perform faster: Little to no training time in the 2 months prior to the race. Event comments: Great race and I had a blast. Finally met Jordan from BT. Im looking forward to the next one and being more prepared physically and mentally. I only planned this race to be a test to gain a feel for what the sport is like. I must say it leaves you wanting more! Last updated: 2006-02-21 12:00 AM
