![]() Swim
Comments: Felt good about my swim. What would you do differently?: Maybe kicked stronger and earlier. Wait till I got out of the water to remove my cap and goggles. Had to duck under a wave running to the beach and lost my googles. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Reduced my transition time from last year but still have a lot of room for improvement. The uphill run didn't help matters. Going to have to try and ride with no socks. What would you do differently?: Simply need to run more but injuries have prevented me from doing so. Hill repeats and practice on the hill so I know the right pace. ![]() Bike
Comments: (2) minutes better than last year but I definitely have room for improvement. I need to train for the time trial even though I have put some good rides in, I can increase frequency and intensity. What would you do differently?: Possibly use the trainer for at least one workout per week. Hopefully, a TT bike will be purchased before next season. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Need to get the transition below a minute. Practicing might help. What would you do differently?: Practice ![]() Run
Comments: Considering that I didn't train for the run until the past 2 weeks due to an ankle injury, I am satisfied with my time. What would you do differently?: Remember that gel without water is a bad idea. The first water support seemed along way away. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Hugging my wife and kids. What limited your ability to perform faster: Overall I am satisfied. Not practicing transitions, more time trials, runs and speed work. 15 minutes off of last year's time. I will take it but know there is still quite a bit to improve upon. Event comments: Had fun and motivated to improve and step it up to Olympic and 70.3 distances. Last updated: 2011-09-04 12:00 AM

Got up early enough to eat a bagel with creme cheese and jam. Drank a bottle of Heed prior and a 2nd Surge Gel pack prior to the start.
Stretched and swam about 5 minutes prior to the start.
