 Run
Comments: I think I need to work more on this event. I wanted to make each of the runs in under 28 minutes. Accomplished with no problem. What would you do differently?: Get to the venue at least an hour early.  Transition 1
Comments: A little slow coming out of T1. Managed to pass a few people doing it though. Gelled and got some water down. What would you do differently?: Get my transition a little faster.  Bike
Comments: The first 15 minutes I felt like I wanted to throw up. I am sure that it was the gel not sitting well. After the gel took hold, I had a hard time staying focused. My mind started to wander, which I am very dissappointed in myself for. I just stopped paying attention to my speed and cadence. I rode for about 15 minutes like it was just a leisurely stroll. I snapped out of it when the long course people started passing me. The rest of the race went really well. I did see some funny stuff out on the course though - like a full suspension mountain bike with aero bars and some dude (at least I think it was a dude) cruising in nothing but a HOT PINK speedo. Nice. What would you do differently?: Concentrate and focus. I can't be doing that in the middle of a race. Regardless, I still had a decent bike leg. Didn't make my goal time, but it was close. Transition 2
Comments: I just have to get faster at this. Run
Comments: I passed some and I got passed some, but I did ok. I kept thinking about being done. That makes me run faster. Post race
Warm down: Went to the transition area and got some water and gatorade. I found Zac and Wes. Their man was still out running and they were waiting for him to come in. We sat by the finish line, and I did some stretching while we cheered on the other racers. What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of focus on the bike. Slow transition times. Event comments: Very well put together! Very prompt and well managed! I will look forward to this one next year! Last updated: 2006-04-29 12:00 AM

I got to the race, got everything fixed with my event, got my chip and my transition set-up just in time. I really hate being late and we seem to do it that way all the time. It always ends with good results though.
Heart was alredy pounding from all of the drama. I even managed to work up a sweat runnning around trying to get everything ready. I managed to do a brief jog before they started the race.
