 Swim
Comments: Swam pretty well with the crowd never really had a chance to open up, but then again I am probably not in good enough shape to open it up, so it was probably a good thing. What would you do differently?: Train more I think I have swam about 3 times since Steelhead and that definately limited my ability to swim hard, I think in proper shape I could take about 2 minutes off this time.  Transition 1
Comments: Because of our late arrival we had about a spot as possible, that being said I commited to the shoes on the bike running start thing and did it though I haven't practiced since Spring I think I did alright especially considering that the Bike didn't really begin until about 3/4 of a mile into it as we were pretty much restricted to a coned in bike lane. What would you do differently?: Practice this more, definately took a while to get up to speed and then into shoes practice this and I might gain 10-30 seconds.  Bike
Comments: Last year my bike time was about the 51st percentile of my age group this year 27th so I think that is a pretty decent improvement, especially considering my traing as of late. There were a lot of people that didn't know the rules or how to be curteous on a bike which was a bit of a pain but that is this race. What would you do differently?: Train more. Had the bike course been as advertised (17 vs. 20 miles) I think I would have made up about 45 seconds on the guys in front of me, or they wouldn't have been able to put those 45 seconds on me. Transition 2
Comments: Again the attack of the long transition, I think that a better spot would have shaved about 30 seconds off of this time What would you do differently?: Get to the race earlier  Run
Comments: This is actually a disspointment from last year 7 seconds slower, same course and I was really hoping to show some improvement, but I think again a lack of training in recent weeks limited my perfomance. I know that I can do this at least 30 seconds faster. I am still hoping to have my perfect race. Based upon what I know about my self I think I could have easily done this race about 4 minutes faster if I had just kept up with my training over the last 4 weeks which would have been good for 7th in my age group poised for a possible top 5 finish next year. What would you do differently?: Train more and more smartly. Post race
Event comments: They need to fix the registration process other than that I would never do anything other than a sprint at this venue just too much going on I felt really bad for the Half people as the transition area was a mess when they were finishing Last updated: 2006-09-10 12:00 AM

Got to the race a little later than I would have liked, then had to wait in line for race registration for about an hour, (idea for race director have a registration at a sight in Chicago sometime before the race, most of the people are from Chicago and Steelhead managed to pull it off why not Lake Geneva.)
Put on wetsuit and chatted with Sweetie and another friend of ours.
