Comments: The gal in front of me was tooooo slow. She was nice, but to pass her I had to really poor on the jets. She would speed upto prevent me from passing. Her pace was at my breast stroke pace. What would you do differently?: Next year I'll blow it out and shoot for 8:00-9:00. The 9:34 was pretty easy for me at this point as 500m seems so short.  Transition 1
Comments: Taking it easy as this is not anything like the IMAZ transition. I'll start sweating these for my mid season sprints.  Bike
Comments: I just decided to keep the HR around 160, which was an easy and comfortable pace. I wasn't racing, and I feel like I could knock 5 minutes or so off of this time next year. Except for the headwind, I held 20mph+ for most of the race. What would you do differently?: Nothing really. I felt pretty good, but I couldn't really cut loose. I'd like tosee what I could do without limitations ofthe IMAZ training. My bike computer was out and the Garmin MPH wasn'tworking. That's why I just picked someonewho was going at a reasonable pace and followed. Transition 2
Comments: I wasn't trying to go all that fast here. Just relaxing and enjoying the race. What would you do differently?: Not wear socks.  Run
Comments: If I hadn't run 16 miles on Thursday I think I could do 7.5minute miles or even less. I hadn't recovered and I was hurting in the quads a lot. I look forward to seeing what I can do with a reasonable taper. What would you do differently?: Not much. This was a good effort for me. Post race
Warm down: Walking for tenminutes. Active stretch. What limited your ability to perform faster: This was a "C" race for me. I still met my goal of bettering my time from last year. I paced myself well and The fact that the race seemed so much easier this year with improved time makes me realize that I have come along way. Goals for next year will be to break 1:10 and try to place in Clydes (If I still weigh over 200!) Event comments: I met De Cracker and Run4yrlf at the race. I picked up some good tips. We were going to meet for lunch, but I got lost and didn't have phone numbers. Sorry guys! Last updated: 2007-02-09 12:00 AM

Woke up at 6. At a bagel egg sandwich and coffee. Drove to the course. #1 and #2.I saw Jim(run4yrlf) and we talked about strategy for the day (this is the last build week for IMAZ). I decided to stay in Zone 3 for the race (which I did).
Jogged for 10 minutes. Jumped in the pool 55 minutes before the start and did slow 50s to get an idea of race pace. Last ten minutes I jumped on the bottom while in line. I was very sore from my long run, but otherwise good for the race.
