 Swim
Comments: Just wanted to get the swim over with no mistakes and not expend big energy. I knew that it was going to be a long long day. I was really shocked with how calm the swim was maybe because I wasn't in the lead pack but I had TONS of clear water not a lot of bumping very relaxed What would you do differently?: I could have pressed a little more to stay with some good feet but I was on cruise control just gettin' it dun  Transition 1
Comments: T1 was at least a 1/2 mile run around the southern edge of the lake into a massive bike rack. I was just thinking about being smooth and not forgetting anything. T1 is pretty fast w/o a wetsuit What would you do differently?: nothing.  Bike
Comments: with no HRM, it was probably easier to not get into big races with others. I knew that I wanted to run fast and that the day wasn't going to be won on the bike but it sure could be lost. I really enjoyed the bike until about the 45 mile point when my neck really cramped up. What would you do differently?: Train more in the aero position. More volume would always help but not realistic Transition 2
Comments: Nice the volunteers racked my bike What would you do differently?: nothing the shoes and socks went on really smooth  Run
Comments: tried to keep myself in control. Hold, hold, hold, hold, hold, hold, race What would you do differently?: This is the way to race a tough race Post race
Warm down: collapsed into the arms of two volunteers - into a chair - chug a bottle of water - then to the massage tent - pick up Heather and the kids jump in the car and drive 5+ hours back to camarillo What limited your ability to perform faster: Training volume and heat acclimitization Event comments: M dot - world champs - definately a bucket list for me Last updated: 2011-08-17 12:00 AM

check the bike over, got nutrition ready, just loved all the international athletes, saw some Navy buddies, tried to stay relaxed. Ate a banana, bagel with PB, endorolytes, and washed it down with two cups of coffee and a bottle of HEED. Forgot my HRM watch as I dressed in the dark b4 my buddy came to give me a ride to the start
Not much other than a little stretching in line 45 minute line before the start. Did maybe 100m swimming and treading over to the swim start line. I got a case of the shivers. The wind was really blowing thru the bridge. I got warm enough once we started.
