Swim
Comments: Forgot to start watch - was at about 18 getting out of the water. It was a long way to the timing pad and T1. What would you do differently?: This swim was much better than at Belle Isle. No current plus I stayed to the outside and back at the start to avoid the mess. Stayed relaxed like I wanted and concentrated on keeping good stroke mechanics. Transition 1
Comments: Had to get bike off curb before getting on then got a little bit of a slow start. Not sure how long this transition was but don't think I took too long. What would you do differently?: Put foot in left shoe before getting on. Bike
Comments: The bike went great felt good and passed a lot of people. What would you do differently?: Not drink so much. Felt Sloshy during the run. Transition 2
Comments: Wasn't sure which way to go coming out of T2 but figured it out pretty quickly. What would you do differently?: nothing. Run
Comments: Lost a lot of ground during the run. Need to work on more bricks. Post race
Warm down: Walked around What limited your ability to perform faster: I did better than expected as I trained through this event. I woke up feeling unmotivated but once I got into it, I really enjoyed it. I was very happy with my performance overall. Still need to work on swim endurance and running off the bike. Event comments: I liked the fact it was on a Saturday. I was a little worried that there was no pre-race packet pick up but this worked out OK. Nice small venue - nothing fancy but well-run. Will do this one again. Last updated: 2006-07-01 12:00 AM

Got there early and picked up race packet and got transition ready. Changed in the car and went to the bathroom a couple times. Drank bottle of gatorade.
