 Swim
Comments: I am really happy with my time but I likely swam an additional 100 yds during the race. I over-swam the first buoy by a long ways. Actually had a life guard yell to me to stop and Turn around. Even so this swim had a time pretty fast for me and I can't complain. I was pretty annoyed with somebody doing breaststroke within 50 yds of start when I got a kick to my collar bone. I wasn't able to get around him cause of the crowd but I did cheat off him a bit. One of the kicks I was able to catch the foot and pull my self ahead of him. Feel bad, but not really. I think I need to start a little closer to front as I think I lost some time trying to swim through the crowd. What would you do differently?: Sight better for sure. Try to start closer to front of wave.  Transition 1
Comments: Need to get better. This is better than my 5 minute T1 last year but not very fast at all. Need to reconsider what I take time for. I actually put on my jersey, and gloves. Jersey I wanted to have dry as it was chilly when I set up. Gloves may not be needed now that I ride aero more. What would you do differently?: Go faster  Bike
Comments: I think the course is actually shorter than 20K as my garmin has me at about 17 MPH. I really felt like I hit the bike very well. I felt good, was passing more than being passed. I made it up both hills in pretty good shape and completed my fastest race in a Tri yet.

Comments: Still Slow  Run
Comments: What can I say. I am very happy with the run. Two minutes faster than any 5K in a tri, and only about 30 seconds slower than I stand alone tri. The first 1/2 Mile seemed brutal but I was able to get in a good rhythm and get faster with each mile. I was actually passing people which I don't do while running.

Warm down: Walked Back to Transition got my bike and left to watch the end of my son's baseball game. Not sure how I will finish a HIM as I was pretty spent at the end of this one. Big difference though in how I felt an hour after. Last year's tris I was spent the whole day, but I feel pretty good right now. Next up HIM Musselman!! Event comments: Loved it, will do it again next year. Last updated: 2011-01-24 12:00 AM

I woke up and had a small breakfast. Race is almost down the street so I didn't have far to go. This being the case I may have been a little to relaxed about getting out of the house. I ended up getting there later than I would have liked. This likely cost me some in T1 as I didn't get to set up as well as I wanted, that plus the threat of rain prevented me from laying everything out.
Really didn't do much to warm up. I did jog a bit to get to body marking and chip, but other than that nothing really.
