Swim
Comments: I knew I would suck at swimming. Learned how to swim 6 months ago. To be honest, maybe the swim was a bit short, I don't think I'm even a 2:26 swimmer What would you do differently?: Not a lot, I stayed out of the way and flipped over on my back when necessary. Transition 1
Comments: Never done a transition before, was concentrating on just not forgetting anything. I wear socks, and don't have tri specific bike shoes, so I knew it wasn't going to be fast. What would you do differently?: Worst part was being gassed from the swimming, if I improve my swimming it would help T1 and the bike. Bike
Comments: I hit my goal of 20mph without too much trouble, I don't have a HR monitor but I knew it was low enough. Drank 20 oz of poweraid in the insulated bottle and about 28 oz of water in the areo bottle. What would you do differently?: Probably shouldn't have eaten the 2nd gell at mile 18. But that was the plan and I stuck with it. I eat a ton on training rides on the bike. Transition 2
Comments: Just concentrated on not doing anything dumb. This went pretty well, not a lot to do in T2. What would you do differently?: Would be faster with tri shoes. Run
Comments: Had a stomach issue when I first started, probably didn't need that last gell, it went away though. Legs were cramping as well after 3 miles, I think more from lack of training than a serious lack of fluids problem, I was drinking consistently. What would you do differently?: I need to bike more to improve my running. Post race
Warm down: Bag of ice on my head What limited your ability to perform faster: Need more bricks. Without a HR monitor I'm pretty sure I nailed the bike and definitely had nothing left at the end of the run. Event comments: There was post race pizza and fruit. I miss back before the recession when post race was better. I have a sweet tooth and was hoping for cookies or something. Last updated: 2012-05-26 12:00 AM

Oatmeal and a banana at 4:30am
Not a lot, treading water for a bit. Probably need to work on this.
