 Swim
Comments: I kept my pace pretty good.. started feeling slower after 15 minutes... I was 150 slower then last year (1750).. but that is because I swam like 50K in dec/jan last year.. so I was in MUCH better shape I guess... I did flips the first 400 but quickly got so tired cause I do them wrong.. pushing down deep and off to the right sometimes... more of a hinderence then a benefit I guess... so I resorted to tagging the walls and pushing off... What would you do differently?: train more .. doh!!  Transition 1
Comments: std. 10 minute interval.. no choice  Bike
Comments: I hate this bike.. whats more.. I didn't realize we started.. until about 2 minutes into it.. what a dope!! I put my iPod on too early and everyone was just 'warming' up causaully.. so I did the same.. next thing I know everyone has already start pushing.. and I am gingerly waiting for the 'gun' so to speak.. sheesh.. So I likely lost a partial mile there.. ALos, I used my clips and my right leg clipped in crooked..so my right leg felt really weird after awhile... What would you do differently?: avoid the crooked freaking clip.. start on the BEGIN time.. and not wait until 2 minutes into it.. DOH! Transition 2
Comments: std . 10 minutes .. changed and headed up to the dreadmills  Run
Comments: started too fast at 7.0.. maintained 7.0 until 1.5 then moved ot 6.8.. at 2.5 I moved to 6.5... i just wasn't feeling it I guess.. Last year I did so much better.. I pushed it back to 7.0 at 2 minutes left and 8.5 at 1 minute.. .finished strong .. but a tempo woudl have been goood.. my HR was 165most of the way... !! What would you do differently?: i dunno.. I have been packing in the miles lately too.. so it must be the lack of sleep and the terrible headache I had yesterday... Post race
Warm down: staggered around... stretched a bit... headed over to the finish area.. and had a drink and got my flop... dressed and then took pictures .. overseeing the pool (see below) ... What limited your ability to perform faster: my general well being i think.. i have been pummling my body .. and I generally didn't feel well yesterday.. so .. I m thinking thats the case anyhow... I was actually surprised on the pool part of it .. and very dissapointed with the bike and mildly disappointed with the run... I want to much right now and my body hasn't caught up to my brain.. go figure... Event comments: I like this race.. I like meeting with all the BTers... its fun.. the after lunch at Loring Pasta was excellent.. those bathrooms are cool!! Had a great time.. its a must tri indoor race... well do it again next year for sure... I will beat my best next year for sure!! Last updated: 2007-01-20 12:00 AM
