Swim
Comments: Lots of room for improvement. Need better breathing. Need to swim straight. still had fun. did too much sweet spot and side stroking. I felt like I had a lot of energy afterwards. What would you do differently?: practice more sighting. More open water swimming. SWIM STRAIGHT. Remember to star my watch at the horn and not a couple of minutes after I started swimming. Transition 1
Comments: didn't wear a wetsuit. took off my goggles and cap while running to T1. everything went smooth and as planned What would you do differently?: make towel easier to stand on with putting on shoes. Water bottle worked great to wash feet... that is until i stepped in the grass Bike
Comments: felt like I was on fire. passed a lot of people. tried to cheer them on as I passed without sounding like a jerk. did however accednetly block a lady that I passed at the top of a hill while I was on the way down the other side. I'm not used to hugging the right side of the road at 35mph. I did pass her back once we hit flat again. What would you do differently?: bike harder Transition 2
Comments: got a little lost. It was harder to find my spot without the bike there... ha ha ha What would you do differently?: practice getting off moving bike and remembering were rack is. Run
Comments: big bad cramp in the first mile. I think I needed more water and less gatorade. Drank water at every stop and it helped. with less than a mile left thought about the fellow Donkeys and kicked it in. What would you do differently?: Hydrate differently (more water) and run harder Post race
Warm down: walked around with wife and strecthed What limited your ability to perform faster: swim and cramp. Event comments: I know it's my first tri... but it was way better than the running races. Just needed more trash cans. Last updated: 2007-02-16 12:00 AM
