 Swim
Comments: after last weekend I reverted to my old strategy of waiting a few (15-20) seconds to let my wave go ahead so i can establish a steady rhythm worked well for a while but when I started catching up to them I started having trouble berathing again - not on the level of last week but just enough to make the swim tougher than it usually is for me What would you do differently?: not much - try and figure out what's affecting my breathing during the swim - the last few years I've kicked butt (for me) on the swim so this is really stumping me!  Transition 1
Comments: had to take a little bit to catch my breath but overall uneventful What would you do differently?: not much  Bike
Comments: felt pretty good after getting my breath back from the swim - kept my cadence high (where I wanted it) and overall felt really comfortable - I could really feel the difference in my new TRI bike and my old road bike fitted with aerobars What would you do differently?: not much - just need to train with higher intensity on my rides Transition 2
Comments: felt much better and didn't really need to catch my breath What would you do differently?: nothing  Run
Comments: felt OK aerobically and probably could have pushed it a little more (15-20%) my shins and calves were tightening up - I must have been using them alot on my new bike - might have to check into the cause What would you do differently?: probably pick it up a little more out of T2 and towards the end of the run Post race
Warm down: hung out with TRIBMAC and met LaurenSU02 had some refreshments and watched some of the awards then headed home for the 1 1/2 hour ride What limited your ability to perform faster: nothing Event comments: It felt good to know that the last race was a fluke although I think I've still got some kind of bug in my chest or throat - the swim is normally not that hard for me - I have'nt had these types of breathing problems since my first race 4 years ago - so I'm going to call the doctor again and see if she'll give me some kind of antibiotic I also know where I need to concentrate and what I have to work on so I'm gettin' on it!

Sunny
Overall Rank = 95/245
Age Group = 40-44
Age Group Rank = 17/32
got up early and was picked up at my house by TRIBMAC and was pleasantly surprised to see his wife and kids were in the car - AT 5:00AM!!!!
so it was a nice 1 1/2 hour ride to the race with some nice traveling companions
did not get up early and have any coffee - it's just too early to try and get up have my coffee, read my paper, and hit the restroom
also didn't eat anything - thought I'd try racing on the energy from the night before and maybe get something when we got to the race (did get a soft pretzel and had a few Clif shot gel cubes)
not much - just set up transition, pick up packet, etc.
