 Swim
Comments: Started back behind everyone so I wouldn't get run over. I found this the wrong spot to start from. I got caught behind a bunch of slow people. I managed to get past them just before I had to round the bouy. I had trouble breathing after that. I usually breath ever 3 to 5 strokes in the pool. In the race I found that breathing ever 3 strokes was not enough. Maybe I need more OWS in the wetsuit to get used to it??? Trout lake. What would you do differently?: Start about middle of pack. More base.  Transition 1
Comments: My legs were wiped after the swim. What would you do differently?: Uhhh... I didn't think the transition was so bad. Next time consume a GU in transition.  Bike
Comments: took my legs some time to recover from the swim. I didn't know what was going on but I was working hard on the bike. I thought that maybe I had a flat. I stood up and tried to really get on it, then I heard my front brake rubbing a lot. I stopped and adjusted it by hand and then it went a lot better. I passed up about 5 or 6 people after that so I felt great. Damn that big hill at the end. I walked part of it and 4 people that I had passes went back past me. What would you do differently?: Need more brick swim-bike. More base. Transition 2
Comments: Looks like I had the longest T2 in my age group. Fooey! What would you do differently?: Uhhh???  Run
Comments: took it too easy. I should have completely let loose. My legs didn't feel up to it on the start though. I walked about 30 seconds on the dirt road too. I took off my shirt and said "no walking" and started running again. Got a decent kick at the end but I wasn't completely spent at the end so I slacked. What would you do differently?: more base, go all out till I drop. Post race
Warm down: get food and drink. Get my picture taking by the wife. What limited your ability to perform faster: need more base. Event comments: I'll be back!!! I needed a kick in the arse and I got it today. Next year I'm going to kick this race in the Bootay! Last updated: 2007-01-24 12:00 AM

Woke up at about 4:30 and got on the road. Actually I didn't wake up at 4:30. I was actually up most of the night with nerves. I was worried about getting caught in the line getting into the park so I wanted to get there early. I took extra time to see how people were setting up their transition areas and just did what they did.
