Swim
Comments: I became nauseas during the swimm, stroke didn't feel right. Doing backstroke helped some. What would you do differently?: May not wear wetsuit in next tri. I have had stomach issues every time I have worn it. Did an open water swim without the wetsiut and felt fine. Transition 1
Comments: Legs felt heavy getting out of the water, was a bit wobbley at first. Was surprised how fast I got out of my wetsuit. What would you do differently?: Need to run faster to T1. Bike
Comments: Stomach was still jittery first 4 - 5 miles of bike. Had a hard time pedaling even though it was a flat course. It felt like I was riding without enough air in my tires. The hills at mile 4 and 9 should have been far easier than they were. What would you do differently?: not sure. Transition 2
Comments: Ran past rack. Shoes and socks were wet after biking, was glad to have dry ones to change into. What would you do differently?: Pay better attention to where my bike goes. Run
Comments: Felt the best on the run. Could tell I wasn't at my regular pace. Picked it up for the last mile. What would you do differently?: Should have ran faster sooner. It's the last leg of the tri. I don't need to conserve energy. Post race
Warm down: Walked, drank water and chocolate milk. What limited your ability to perform faster: Had a cold the week before. thought I was more recovered than I was. Event comments: The course should have been just right to a bit to easy for my ability but felt like it was to hard. Was tired but not sore after the race. Eyes and nose felt a bit itchy and I had a cough. Was tired on Sunday and my throat was sore. Felt better this morning, Monday, but went to the doctor's any way. Doctor said I don't have anything, that I was feeling the effects of exerting myself to soon after being sick. Last updated: 2011-06-06 12:00 AM
