Swim
Comments: I need better swim endurance or need to relax more...keep composed..I could have front crawled that distance What would you do differently?: be in better shape...not hold back in the beginning..not be afraid of making contact Transition 1
Comments: Stopped to use the restroom again...couldn't believe that I was ahead of Dan out of the water...saw Pamela in crowd...put on shoes and ran up to bike..fought with wetsuit a bit...got on bike and TOOK OFF...forgot gel What would you do differently?: turns out not much..felt good Bike
Comments: felt great...passed a ton of people...started making me wonder if I was going to fade or be alright in the run What would you do differently?: not much...had a blast Transition 2
Comments: stopped to take in another vanilla bean gu...talked to Pamela and Mark Kimball...still couldn't believe I was ahead of Dan out of the water What would you do differently?: Push through...get out of there..but I was having fun Run
Comments: Struggled mentally in first mile...got composed and ran with a couple teenagers until the turn. Walked through aid stations..jogged the rest of the way...big smile everytime I saw Dan behind me...was trying not to gloat too much...I was still worried that he might catch me somehow. I like being able to see the others on the course What would you do differently?: Push, Push, Push...have to get used to running distance feeling awful Post race
Warm down: walked it off..oranges and banana, gatorade and water...hungout until awards What limited your ability to perform faster: run muscle endurance and speed work, swim endurance, bike muscle endurance...lactate threshold Event comments: Absolutely beautiful bike leg Last updated: 2006-08-07 12:00 AM
