Comments: The leak I thought I had fixed during warm up, wasn't. I stopped at least 3 times to try to fix it. I finally got it good enough so I could breath on the one side and have less of a leak. I was really worried about losing a contact. Luckily I didn't. However I took a minute or two trying to fix the goggles. What would you do differently?: Get new goggles!  Transition 1
Comments: Of the 25 racks for the sprint race, I was assigned rack 22. At least that is where all of age group was. The timing chip was HUGE. It was hard to get the wet suit off over it. What would you do differently?: Not too much I could change that I had control of.  Bike
Comments: Bike felt really good - I passed a ton of people. I was passed by several people who were just flying. Felt strong. What would you do differently?: It may be time to investigate a time trial bike. Transition 2
Comments: LONG run to my rack  Run
Comments: Still a bit slow, but really happy with it - I know I'll get faster. What would you do differently?: More speed work - I think I'm finally ready for it! Post race
Warm down: a little stretching, a little walking. What limited your ability to perform faster: I had much more endurance than last race. Now I need to work on regaining my run speed. I can honestly say I did not feel pain in the ankle today. It is cranky tonight and I'm contemplating a visit to the chiro. We returned from vacation late Tuesday and race on Saturday. Not sure if this was a bad or good thing. Event comments: I thought the number of life guards was low. There were a few on knee boards and more in the water using the life saving noodle thingy. I don't know that they could really see if people were in trouble and couldn't get to them quickly if they were. Last updated: 2012-04-19 12:00 AM

Got up at 4:00, showered and had breakfast. I ate the normal peanut butter on an English muffin, a banana, glass of milk and a cup of coffee. Because my start time was so late, I added a scrambled egg to the mix. I ate a half a peanut butter an honey sandwich 2 hours before start time.
Once we were allowed to sneak back into the water for a warm up, I got out and swam a hundred yards or so. I had a bad leaking goggle that I thought I got fixed.
