Swim
Comments: felt like aslug in the water. I couldn't get any speed at all. Couldnt' catch a draft and didn't know where I was going. Really dissapointing swim What would you do differently?: go to the swim talk and try to have higher expectations for myself Transition 1
Comments: the Transition times were added into the bike and run I think? not sure where the times are but I was ok. ran in sandals from the beach and recovered pretty quickly but got stuck in my suit Bike
Comments: went out with intentions of really taking it easy so as not to blow out my legs. Was really not expecting to feel so good. I kept telling myself to take it easy but I didn't have to that much. ran out of gear and had to get out of the saddle twice on the hills. I need to check my gearing. Transition 2
Comments: i'm bummed the transitions weren't timed because I'm getting good at that shoe thingy. Run
Comments: started out with no feet for 2 miles or so which was wierd. I tripped a couple times until I got my rythm. started out sloshy and crampy for a mile or so also. felt great but I was afraid to push it becauise I haven't done a lot of fast runs longer than 3 miles. I was afraid of runnign out of steam, which I did but not until the trail at the end. I really thought I would puke going over the last hill. What would you do differently?: train for the distance! drink less at the end of the bike. Post race
Warm down: don't fall over or throw up. What limited your ability to perform faster: lack of trust in myself. lack of training for distance. Event comments: great race! I could have used some water on the run, which there wasn't. Not one. gatorade, yes but not a drop of water. I don't like the no chip thing at all. I don't trust the splits and I want to know my transition times. but I loved the race and will be back next year. Last updated: 2006-05-17 12:00 AM
