Swim
Comments: Cold! Just plain cold. Large boulder-type rocks as the start. Struggled some with my form but it was expected. Did I mention it was cold? What would you do differently?: Not jump in the water when the air and water temp are freezing! Transition 1
Comments: Lousey transition. Long run from the beach. Could not feel my hands. My arms were frozen stiff and felt like flippers. Had trouble getting out of wetsuit and over shock from the cold water. What would you do differently?: Stay home. Bike
Comments: Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I stettle in faily quickly and did not get passed after the 1st mile. What would you do differently?: Stay home. Transition 2
Comments: Not a bad transition. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Run
Comments: Felt comfortable. Did not get passed. Wet and Cold. What would you do differently?: Need to do more bricks! Post race
Warm down: Sheltered inside my car. What limited your ability to perform faster: Weather and weight. Event comments: The race directors may have had the best of intentions but they were less than orgainzed. The course was fine but the pre and post race food and activities were minimal. Who wants to eat cold pizza after an effort like a triathlon? Coffee or hot choc. would have been great! Then again, God Bless anyone who will take on the challenge and responsibility of producing a tri! Last updated: 2006-04-17 12:00 AM
