 Swim
Comments: I really didn't go very hard and kept my HR down. A little tight in the shoulders but nothing much after warming up a little. Pretty bright sun after the 2nd turn. What would you do differently?: Um, swim faster...a lot faster! I should have been about 5 minutes faster!  Transition 1
Comments: Chatted with Ron and Chris a little. Took a couple of bites of power bar. Smiled for Jennifers camera! :-) Just another day in the park! What would you do differently?: Um, go faster seems to be the theme!  Bike
Comments: What a pansy! What would you do differently?: Um, sticking with the "go faster" theme. But hey, I have a soccer game Wednesday...gotta save some legs for that! Transition 2
Comments: wasn't looking forward to this!!! only run 13.1 once in training. What would you do differently?: you know...  Run
Comments: i hooked up with a lady from Birmingham, AL that helped me a lot. she and i ran 6 mins, and walked 1 for the entire race. my calves cramped severely at the finish. Jennye from AL...THANK YOU! you absolutely were an angel sent to help me! i wasn't mentally prepared for this but you pulled me through! What would you do differently?: run a few more 13's in training. Post race
Warm down: ha...warm down? i nearly passed out! whomever decided the finish should be an uphill like THAT should be beaten with a pair of sweaty shoes! What limited your ability to perform faster: lack of training the last 5 weeks! it's really hard with 2nd grade twins to get in training time. when school started back i was limited to about an hour a day. not quite enough for an event like this. Event comments: i think it was a great race! set-up does a great job. there WAS food when i got back from putting away my stuff! Profile Album Last updated: 2006-06-28 12:00 AM

FIRST HIM! Second person to arrive at the race site. I was worried I'd be late and couldn't sleep anyway. Had a little coffee and cereal bar. Helped bring in the race packets so I could pick mine up! Visited the toilet and started to unpack.
No warm up for this...I was planning on about a 20 minute swim for warm up and then another 20 minute swim to race! :-) Worked out to just about that!
