 Swim
Comments: So I have swam once before the race in the past 3 weeks so I knew I would be slow. Started out near the front. Only had a few elbows hit me. Finally found clear water and just swam. My arms were tired at the first bouy. My hands were falling asleep? Maybe since I haven't swam in a wetsuit in a while. Just kept swimming and got to the beach at 28 minutes flat. Very happy with that. 1 minute run up the beach. What would you do differently?: Not drink so much beer and eat bad food for the last 4 weeks. Oh and train a little while on vacation.  Transition 1
Comments: Decent T1. My right heal was in the way of the wetsuit so it took a bit longer than normal. What would you do differently?: Put on pam on my heals. Cut my heals off!  Bike
Comments: Went out easy and fueled well today. Got up olde stage and was relieved! I forgot how tough it was. Had several people pass me today as I was not going all out. My training has been almost nil! So I was just enjoying the ride. I did a lot more coasting than normal on some of the bigger down hills! Not terrible! What would you do differently?: See swim section! Transition 2
Comments: Ah! First in my agegroup and 3rd overall. some dude posted a 30 secodn T2. Of course my T2 spot was a long way away. The next fastest guy in my agegroup was 50 seconds. What would you do differently?: Nothing! Maybe fly!  Run
Comments: Rough run. Started out ok then I slowed a lot at the end. Adam caught me and we ran together for a while then he left me. It was hot and the gravel is always hard to run in. Then Richard pat me and so did everyone else. Slowest 10k in a tri ever by about 5 minutes. Mile 1 6:57 Mile 2 6:54 mile 3 7:52 Had to be long here! mile 3.1 :50 Mile 4 6:34 Mile 5 8:02 mile 6 8:36 Mile 6.2 1:26 What would you do differently?: Run more on vacation oh and see section under swim Post race
Warm down: Beer and food and shade. What limited your ability to perform faster: Training, beer and bad food. Event comments: Just an awesome race. I wanted to do it even if I had no training! It is just a great race. Good to see all the BT'ers out there and racing hard. Last updated: 2007-02-01 12:00 AM

This race was done after very little training. I got back on Thursday from a 24 day vacation around the country. I had Nationals on June 30th and then I got in 1 bike ride, 1 swim and 3 runs in the last 20 days. So I had lost a lot of fitness. I was not planning on being very fast today. My only goal was to be very fast in Transitions.Woke up at 4 and ate 2 waffles and a protein shake and head up to Boulder by 4:30. Got up there at 5:20 and there was a line to get body marked. I skipped it and went into Transition and found an end spot, which I like, then went back out to get body marked. Saw Julia, Stacie, Kenny, Richard and Ben.
10 minute run with 4 accelerations and a quick swim right before my wave went off.
