Swim
Comments: The surf was low. Ran out and was blocked in up to the 1st buoy. After the 1st buoy the congestion broke up and I swam pretty good. Rounded the last buoy swam ok and caught a couple of small waves. What would you do differently?: Try to get through the congestion by swimming faster and around the congestion. Transition 1
Comments: Somebody tried to pass me on a turn and I crashed. Fortunately I was only skinned up a little and continued the race. What would you do differently?: Next time someone tries to pass on a turn I will holeer "Don't pass me on a turn". If that doesn't work I will steer way clear of them. Bike
Comments: I was just glad to be back in the race. I held back a little for the run. Transition 1 time is apparently added to the bike time. What would you do differently?: Watch those turns. Transition 2
Comments: Transition 1 time is apparently added to the bike time. Pretty good transition. What would you do differently?: Don't really know what to do different. Thought I had a pretty good T2. Run
Comments: I was a bit tired and my legs were a bit sore. I had to walk a little. I walked maybe 1/8th of the course, (thats an intelligent guesstimate). What would you do differently?: Although I did numerous run bike bricks when I trained, it is evident that I need more run to bike bricks in training. Post race
Warm down: I walked around. What limited your ability to perform faster: I apparently need more runto bike bricks. A crash on the 1st turn sure didn't help anything. Event comments: The surf gods were very kind this year. I am greatful because I made a quik recovery from the crash. I burned nearly 1500 calories. I improved my time by approximately 7 minutes over last year. Last updated: 2011-06-13 12:00 AM

Up at 5am with a poor night of sleep. I ate a bear claw and had a cup of coffee. I arrived early to get a good spot in the transition area. Found a decent spot and set up. Since I was in the last wave, I went back to my truck at 6:30am to try to catch some sleep. No sleep so I went back to the transition area about 8am.
Walked alot, a little stretching, a few calisthenics and a brief swim.
