Swim
Comments: Even though my swim time doesnt show it, I really thought I did very well on the swim. I dolphin swam from the entry till I got out into a little deeper water. Sighting was dead on, never got off course any. I really tried to work on rotating and stretching out in the swim and thought I did a really good job of that. Around the bouys it got very congested and I did a very good job of fighting my way thru the crowd. 3/4 of the way thru the swim I was really impressed at how great I felt, sighting was still good, technique felt really dead on and I felt very effeceint in the water. I felt like I had a good turn over and only felt a little tired. Was suprised by my time.. time to beat 15:49 What would you do differently?: I guess just get faster, stroke felt very dead on. I really liked the swim for once. Transition 1
Comments: transition was very congested. I had a little trouble getting my helmet fastened and that pissed me off. There was a long run up from the water. Could not run with bike because of several people in front of me taking up lane and taking their time... aggrevated me time to beat 1:37 What would you do differently?: not fiddle with helmet so much Bike
Comments: I thought I kicked it on the bike, NO ONE passed me and I passed a ton of people. Felt very strong on the bike, just kept pushing. Stayed in big chain ring the whole time. Only in 27 on the back two times on the hills. Ride was fantastic! drank every 15 min, 1 gel a mile from finish. time to beat 48:14 What would you do differently?: Get faster, really wanted to avg 25 mph. so a little dissapointed. Transition 2
Comments: This transition was much better, had just a little problem with shoes. Time to beat 1:23 What would you do differently?: Nothing Run
Comments: Run was good, felt a little hard to get legs moving but I think that was due to not having run but only 2 times in two weeks; so I am very happy with it. IT felt good after going so hard on the bike. time to beat 26:14 What would you do differently?: Just need to get faster, more speed work. Post race
Warm down: Nothing, cheered on local HEAT competitors. What limited your ability to perform faster: Being sick and lack of quality workouts over last 3 weeks. Event comments: Another good team magic, with awesome tie dye tshirts. Last updated: 2006-08-09 12:00 AM
