 Swim
Comments: My best swim ever PB!! -3 min from last race. I felt good going into the swim so I started FOP ran and dolphin dove x3 was right up in the front. Strong crawl fo the first 50-70 mtrs passed other swimmers got hit and kicked but stayed focused. got a bit off course after the first buoy but got BOC quickly. faded a bit after the second buoy and really had to focus push for the last 50 mtrs What would you do differently?: Make sure to sight more frequently, work on stroke I seem to veer right.  Transition 1
Comments: PB !! Much better transition, the Pam worked wonders on the suit/heals. My new shirt with the number pouch worked great wore it under the wetsuit and it saved oodles of time over last race. Also first time with elastic laces on shoes...perfect. What would you do differently?: Calm down a bit, I stillfelt a bit panicky and was a bit uncordinated for the first 30 sec could have shaved more time.  Bike
Comments: tailwind heading out was great made good time on the upgrade, headwind returning on downgrade was a bummer but a better combination. Felt strong knew I was out front as I left T1 so that gave me a real psyco boost. I pushed the entire 10Km lost my water bottle at 8 km which threw me mentally for a minute, it messed up my race plan. What would you do differently?: Better water bottle system for next race. Continue training need to get Avg speed up to 30kmh + Transition 2
Comments: dropped bike just as I got off, no tumble just lost a few seconds picking it back up, run in was good, shouldhave racked bike forward wasted time turnig it around, still using toe traps so no shoe change fast transition. Caught up to the IM guy who passed me on the bike he was changing into his runners and burned off the 1 min lead he had gained!! What would you do differently?: Rack bike forward, not drop it next time, practice running with bike holding it by the seat only.  Run
Comments: Felt good exiting the bike, no walking, got into a pace early, no water on the run this time ( I always find it throws me off) started getting passed at about the 1km mark got passed by maybe 10 people. much better than last time.Still felt slow and not near my best training pace. What would you do differently?: Keep working on running I have made steady improvements but it remains my weakest leg. Post race
Warm down: walk about & drink change into WARM dry clothes, eat (not heavily), missed not having a foot soak at the Elenoire tent What limited your ability to perform faster: running still my slowest Event comments: Less busy than usual due to weather, not as well set up no swim arch, no timing clock on the finish line Rainy cool day so post race was rushed and minimal...not organizers fault everyone just wanted it to be done and get somewhere dry. Overall a decent race, organization seemed off a bit from previous races. Last updated: 2006-08-23 12:00 AM
