Swim
Comments: THE FIRST 2 MINUTES OF THE SWIM I HAD A STRIKING PAIN IN MY SHOULDER LIKE A PINCHED NERVE. I STILL PASSED A LOT OF PEOPLE AND DID NOT FADE TOO MUCH. I BOUGHT TOTAL IMMERSION SO I THINK I CAN GET REALLY GOOD AT THE SWIM What would you do differently?: I USUALLY GET IN A QUICK SWIM AS PART OF THE WARM UP- THAT WOULD HAVE GIVEN ME TIME TO WORK OUT THAT PINCHED NERVE- WORK ON FORM ALSO Transition 1
Comments: I FIDDLED WITH MY HELMET AND SHOES A LITTLE TOO LONG- I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN 30 SECOND FASTER What would you do differently?: I NEED TO PRACTICE TRANSITION MORE- NOW I SEE HOW IT CAN REALLY AFFECT TOTAL TIME. I NEED TO PRACTICE IT AT EACH RACE BEFORE THE RACE Bike
Comments: I HAMMERED MY HEART OUT- ALMOST TO THE POINT THAT I ALMOST STARTED TO FADE THE LAST MILE. I PASSED A LOT OF PEOPLE AND DOWNED A WHOLE 28 OZ OF GATORADE. I HAVE SHOWN THE MOST IMPROVEMENT ON THE BIKE AND AM VERY PLEASED WITH THIS RESULT. What would you do differently?: I CAN HONESTLY SAY I RAN THE BEST EVENT I COULD RUN THIS TIME- ONLY KEEP PRACTICING AND GET FASTER- AND GET A FASTER BIKE! Transition 2
Comments: TOOK A COUPLE EXTRA SECONDS FIDDLING WITH SHOES- PLUS I WAS WORE OUT FROM THE BIKE- HAD TO FIDDLE WITH RACKING THE BIKE ALSO What would you do differently?: PRACTICE THE TRANSITION Run
Comments: I REALLY THOUGHT I RAN SLOWER THAN I DID SO I WAS PLEASANTLY SUPRISED WITH THE FINAL TIME. I HAD NOTHING LEFT IN THE TANK BY THE END OF THE RUN What would you do differently?: THIS IS MY WEAKEST EVENT IN SPITE OF SPENDING THE MOST TIME TRAINING IN THE RUN. I NEED TO START CHANGING UP MY RUN TRAINING. OTHERWISE I WAS PRETTY HAPPY WITH MY PERFORMANCE- I WAS ONLY 1 MINUTE SLOWER THAN MY 5K RECORD- THAT WAS WITHOUT THE BIKE AND SWIM BEFORE Post race
Warm down: WALKED AROUND AND ATE A BANANA AND PIZZA. DRANK SOME WATER AND GATORADE. PACKED UP THE TRANSITION AREA AND SHLEPED IT BACK TO THE CAR. CAME BACK AND GOT A MASSAGE What limited your ability to perform faster: REALLY NOTHING. I JUST NEED TO LOSE SOME WEIGHT. THAT WILL AUTOMATICALLY MAKE ME FASTER, AND CONTINUE TO TRAIN HARD Event comments: THIS IS THE BEST EVENT I HAVE SEEN. IT WAS WELL ORGANIZED WITH PLENTY OF VOLUNTEERS. POST RACE FOOD AND DRINKS WERE GREAT. THE MUSIC WAS EVEN GOOD. I COMMEND THE ORGANIZERS FOR A DOING GREAT JOB! Last updated: 2006-06-07 12:00 AM
