 Swim
Comments: The swim felt good. I had some minor navigation problems, but nothing too bad. I never felt tired and if I knew how to swim properly, could have went faster... Probably my best swim so far. One day I may even be a middle of the pack swimmer. What would you do differently?: Of course train more... As for the race... I would probably concentrate on my sighting of the bouys so that I stay on course better.  Transition 1
Comments: I had some trouble getting my feet into my shoes... Oops. What would you do differently?: Probably not put my shoes into the pedals prior to the race... I think I lost some time here.  Bike
Comments: I rode pretty well but my thighs felt pretty tight for the first few miles. I am a little dissapointed in my ride... I thought I could finish closer to 1:12... I think I may have relaxed a little too much. My Avg speed was slower than on last year's long course... What would you do differently?: Push a little harder on the downhills and rollers. Transition 2
Comments: I could have been faster... sort of took my time. What would you do differently?: Found a sense of urgency.  Run
Comments: The run went ok... it was hot and I should have worn shoes with more cushioning. I had a side stitch almost as soon as I started running. I was hoping for it to go away but it just stayed there. Hurting just enough to keep me from opening up. Not bad, but I can do much better. What would you do differently?: Different shoes... remember to grab my gatorade bottle at the transition. I always run better when I carry my Gatorade. Post race
Warm down: coughed for about 25 minutes... Beers... I lost count after the 4th... What limited your ability to perform faster: No beer on course. My damn resp. infection... Event comments: Loved the race... The ice cold wet towel at the end was awesome! Last updated: 2006-07-24 12:00 AM

I've been sick as a dog lately so I planned on an early wake-up so that I could take a long and hot steam shower to help loosen up my congestion... I did that and hacked for about an hour. Still, I was grumpy and a winy little pussy in the morning. The Lilia-Monster was not happy with me.
I had an English muffin and a cup of coffee, loaded up the car and we drove up to Boulder.
Swam for about 5 minutes. This was a good call...
