![]() Swim
Comments: I felt better than ever (3rd open water swim, 2nd in TTL) using my sighting and swimming somewhat straight, yet my time was 2 minutes slower than the Tempe Intl Tri in the same lake/same distance. What would you do differently?: Swim faster. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: It was a loooooong run from the swim to the bike as my bike was 3 racks away from the bike out/in. What would you do differently?: Learn to have the bike shoes on the bike already. Not give a crap about the grass all over my feet when putting on socks. ![]() Bike
Comments: The bike is always my best. I settled down the second lap and got into a groove. What would you do differently?: Ignore those people that pass me at warp 90 and then I slowly pass them in a few minutes...I should learn to continually do my own race. ![]() Transition 2
What would you do differently?: Run faster and try pedaling on top of my shoes...although the sharp turn and incline into the parking lot (right before the transition area) would make it scary...that might help. ![]() Run
Comments: I kept burping the water and gatorade I would drink on course. That was weird. I had a side stitch miles 4 and 5 that sucked. I started at 8:45ish per mile and then cracked. I felt okay, except for that damn side stitch. What would you do differently?: Figure out how not to get a side stitch. Maybe fuel before the run. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Stand in front of the misting coolers they had set up out there. Then went for lunch and beerS. What limited your ability to perform faster: side stitch, poor swimming time Event comments: It was overly hot and they needed more water stations on the run. That's not the organizers fault, but have I mentioned it was hot? And I live here. Good race...a fun start in the water, having never done that before. Last updated: 2012-09-24 12:00 AM

Wake up, shower, eat a Hammer bar and drink a water bottle while driving to Tempe. Stress over a parking spot.
Sit on my butt. Visit the port-o-let during the national anthem.
