Swim
Comments: After the pre-race flat in, and bad valve in the spare, ran to the water and just made my wave - had about 1 min to our start. Once we started, the water was freezing and couldn't get my face in the water.. breat stroked and warmed up and finally started swimming by the 2nd bouy. What would you do differently?: get into the water much earlier to warm up instead of messing with 2 flat tubes. Transition 1
Comments: Messed with the bad valve for a few minutes, and threw in the towel. Handed chip to race official. Bike
Comments: DNF - No bike, no bike segment. Transition 2
Comments: Ugh Run
Comments: Would have been nice a cool Post race
Warm down: dealt with depression on the drive home What limited your ability to perform faster: a back tire with out air in it Event comments: what a disaster. what luck - how can my spare be bad too! I was quite happy that I was able to successfully change the tube on the back wheel- which I'm happy about anyway. Figured since I was there I would at least get the swim in, but it was depressing as hell. Had no time to warm up litereally in the cold water.. so had to paddle along until the second bouy. Not the way I pictured my second tri. REALLY disappointed. Last updated: 2007-03-06 12:00 AM
