![]() Swim
Comments: I started in the back of the pack, unsure of my swimming skills. I came out of the water about half way throught the group. I should have started at the front. I found myself having to navigate around a lot of people. Maybe my skills aren't so bad? What would you do differently?: I will start at the front next time. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Forgot to turn computer on bike when I started. What would you do differently?: Maybe some body glide on the claves. ![]() Bike
Comments: I killed on the bike. All the hills around here paid off. I think I had one person pass me the whole time. I passed about 25-thrity people, mostly on the hills. I just kept stomping the pedals and never looked backed. On the way to the transition, I pulled my feet out of the shoes, hopped off and one shoe caught the pavement and came off the clip. I had to run back and get it. Only a few seconds though. What would you do differently?: nothing ![]() Transition 2
Comments: one shoe came off the bike as I ran, had to go back, but only cost me a few seconds. I even rand 2 racks past my rack. oops. What would you do differently?: Pay attention to the bike to make sure my shoe don't hit the ground and come off. ![]() Run
Comments: The run was my weak spot. I had a side cramp about half way through the run. I saw the 1 and 2 mile mark and so I turned it up a bit, then later I saw the 2 mile mark for the sprint. I guess the other markers were for a different race length. There were a few people in front of me I wanted to catch but couldn't. What would you do differently?: I would like to improve my running all around. Also a watch would help to give me a better idea of timing and distance so I don't get confused and I know when to go hard and when not to. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Just walked a round and stretched a bit. Got some snacks and fluids afterwards. What limited your ability to perform faster: Only my second tri,and my first was smaller and less formal. All around, I am very pleased with my performance. If anything I just need more time training and more focus on the run. Event comments: Great event. Very organized, lots of volunteers and "treats" like drinks, snacks, massages, goody bags, small expo, lots of porta potties, live video, pictures and video available 2 days after on line, etc... I would love to do it again next year. I will post times later when I get them. Last updated: 2007-03-24 12:00 AM
