 Swim
Comments: Well, my swimming still sucks. However, I felt comfortable in this swim, got a rhythm going and (almost) enjoyed it. I didn't stray from the course like I usually do. What would you do differently?: nothing  Transition 1
Comments: A long jog uphill to the transition area...gravel and bare feet -- yippy! The suit came off pretty well -- not as graceful as some others, though. What would you do differently?: nada  Bike
Comments: With the exception of the U-Turn - I love this bike course. It never gets boring. I went all-out. That's one thing I like about sprint courses is that I can go as hard as I want, since I don't need to reserve energy for a 3-hour race. What would you do differently?: nada Transition 2
Comments: The dismount is at the bottom of a slight hill, with the transition area down a steeper hill. After dismounting, I had to shuffle down the hill because I was afraid I'd slip on the asphalt. Threw on my running shoes, sucked down a Gu, and I was off. What would you do differently?: nada  Run
Comments: I didn't feel like I was going particularly fast, but Max said I was. I usually don't run a 8-minute mile pace... Maybe the course was a bit short? Anyway, the run felt great. Passed a few folks near the end. Post race
Warm down: a bit of stretching, but not enough. What limited your ability to perform faster: lack of swim ability Event comments: This was Jorge's second year oranizing this race and I think some things went better this year. However, they ran out of water at the finish and we had to drink Heed, which many people thought was icky. Also, I heard that some runners from the last wave missed the first turn on the running course because a sign blew away... I had a great time at this race and enjoyed seeing the MABters. My son told me he had such a great time volunteering that he wants to do it for all the races I enter! Last updated: 2006-08-08 12:00 AM

Up at 4:50 --The usual - cheerios, blueberries, coffee for breakfast. My 9-year-old son wanted to help out at the race, so that meant we had to be there by 6.
A good crew of MA BTers were helping out Jorge...Max, Denise (DK), Amanda (Akabak),May (TAGP), and Nikki were all there registering folks and body marking. My son, Nick, help Max hand out timing chips. Ran into (Laura)MATriMom on registration line!
I hung around a bit, and then walked to the transition area to set up.
The 3/4 mile walk from parking lot to transition area. Four other members of my Tri team were there, so we hung around and chatted..
