Swim
Comments: Not as heavy current as i would expect, but it helped a lot none the less. What would you do differently?: Hit it harder. I kept the pace easy in case the swim would turn out longer than anticipated. I could have done it better. Also had some trouble getting wetsuit off the ankles. Transition 1
Comments: Transition was ok. I felt light headed, so elected to sit to take off the wetsuit. Socks cost me time, but i was glad to have them because my shoes have been rubbing when i ride barefoot. What would you do differently?: more body glide on wetsuit ankles. Bike
Comments: Awesome ride. Big lead pack that you couldn't break away from. I hit 35 on the downhills with them, and kept a great pace. The ride was what had me pumped. It was so much fun that i can't describe it. What would you do differently?: Drink more-- i was riding so close to people so much of the time, i was nervous to grab my bottle. I also need to learn to take corners faster. Every breakaway i made was countered because of my crappy cornering. Transition 2
Comments: They rack your bike for you. Cool, but somewhat confusing. What would you do differently?: Learn the transition better. Shove stuff into my bag faster. Run
Comments: Man, i got toasted. Too bad after the faster bike and average swim. I was getting passed all over the place. It's all good, though, i guess. First oly, what can i expect. What would you do differently?: Train to run faster. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Being a poor runner. Event comments: Great atmosphere, and a fun larger race. Need more water on course. Every other mile is not enough in my opinion. Last updated: 2007-01-17 12:00 AM
