Swim
Comments: Swim was good but for the first 125 meters my goggles were leaking water and I had two adjust them, finally I just took my cap off and readjusted my goggles everything was good then. I swam a little slower than I had planned on, my goggles were giving me fits and I think this caused me to be a little bit slower. When I got out of the pool I felt great and started to hammer down on he bike What would you do differently?: Make sure my cap and goggles fit correctly before I start to swim Transition 1
Comments: T1 went very well I had my wife hold my garmin when I exited the pool she handed me the garmin and away I went. Bike
Comments: I was the fifth or sixth person out of the pool on my wave of 12 I passed all but one on the bike. Was able to maintain a fast pace and felt really good What would you do differently?: I was only riding in the second chain ring I need to train more in the big ring and increase cadence here Transition 2
Comments: T1 was good I had a good transition area and made good time What would you do differently?: Learn to dismount better Run
Comments: The first .5 miles were tough I started to get cramps in my calves and by the time that went away my back was aching very bad. After about 1 mile things had quit hurting and was able to push a little harder What would you do differently?: Need to do more brick training get used to running after biking. Continue base training I think this helped at the end of the run Post race
Warm down: Did some post race strecthing and hung around until the award assembly What limited your ability to perform faster: Goggles were leaking on the swim Event comments: Not much for organization, the goodie bag was not exsistant but overall the race was a lot of fun. I hope next year my dad and maybe mom will do this Last updated: 2006-05-26 12:00 AM

Got up at 5:00 got dressed and had a small breakfast, banana and a yogurt and two glasses of water. It was Bryan's first race he was quite nervous and was cussing me out all morning about what did I get him into.
Not much, I did some stretching before the swim and swam about 25 meters in the pool.
