 Swim
Comments: i felt i had a really good swim, but then the 5th wave caught up to me, and got alittle intimated by all these men (35-39 age grp)swimming past me and a few went into me. after i swam off to the side alittle bit, i got my mind back into it. What would you do differently?: what i would do differently is to not get so intimated by other swimmers. need to practice more with my swimming. i want to get FASTER!  Transition 1
Comments: as i was coming into my transition which i spotted right away, i'm just having a hard time with getting my wetsuit off from around my ankles. i know if i could get my wetsuit off faster my T1 time would of been better. beside the wetsuit my transition felt good What would you do differently?: what i would do differently is to practice with my wetsuit getting it off/on  Bike
Comments: course was great, alittle hilly at some points, felt good, half way through the course took my gel pack and drank alot of water. actually lost my bike computer approx. a 1/4 mile into the race. (i was alittle upset) i was going to stop but couldn't had alittle pack of bikers behind me. What would you do differently?: i wouldn't do anything differently at all. i felt really good Transition 2
Comments: transition was good for me. What would you do differently?: i wouldn't do anything differently.  Run
Comments: b/c of my right knee i wore a strap on it (runners knee), and i took it slow for the 1st 2 miles and the knee was feeling great, so when i hit mile 2 i picked it up. and still no pain...so i saw the finish up ahead and sprinted it in. What would you do differently?: if i knew i wasn't going to be in any pain. i would of been faster with my run. i know i could of done better with my time. so thats what i would of done different. my run was good only because i took it in stride to what i was capable of doing at that time. and at one time i was just smiling b/c i was enjoying my run. Post race
Warm down: for my warmdown had some post race food and drank alot of water and just hung out. What limited your ability to perform faster: nothing limited me to perform any faster, when i decided to do this race it was to have fun and to just enjoy it! and i did! Event comments: LOVED THIS RACE ALOT! the voluteers were great and also the support from the people who live in the area were awesome! very organized also, will definelty do this race next year Last updated: 2006-07-08 12:00 AM

got up had 1/2 banana and water, and decided to eat a bagel with creamcheese, i never ate that much before a race, but i've been noticeing i've been sluggish at a few races i've done, and its b/c of my lack of a decent breakfast, so headed to the race with matt and john. got to the race site early, set up my transition area...
my warmup was a good 15 minutes of stretching, and then just drank water and hung out and then took some time for myself.
