Comments: Warm up was poor and the race was too short to build into my speed. I had a lot of trouble getting into a rythem. What would you do differently?: Longer warm up and relax.  Transition 1
What would you do differently?: Not much, this went pretty well. Some well placed body glide will help me get my suit off easier, but that's not new information.  Bike
Comments: Poor warm up caused me to blow up on the first hill and I spent the rest of the ride trying to make up for it. This was NOT the best that I can do. I think I might have lost at least a minute here! What would you do differently?: Warm up before the race. Transition 2
Comments: Several things went wrong here. My piss poor nutrition choices before the race came back to me here. I was able to get one shoe on before my other calf cramped up so bad that I fell down. A contributing factor to this was that my shoe laces were too tight and made it really tough to get my shoes on. In hindsight I should have simply grabbed my shoe and walked it off on the course instead of laying on my back in transition screaming about it. In my defense, I have never cramped that bad in my life! This was not a stellar moment. What would you do differently?: Eat better before the race and warm up more substantially.  Run
Comments: Even if the course was short, this was huge for me. I only got passed by a few people and they were ended up on the podium for their age groups. I didn't let anyone pass me that was in my age group. The ones that beat me were already in front when I started the run. What would you do differently?: Drink a little in T2 and loosen my laces. My feet were going numb. (new laces two days before the race = dumb!) Post race
Warm down: Walked it off for a bit and had a beer. Only in Triathlon can you justify a beer at 10:00am. What limited your ability to perform faster: Poor nutrition. Event comments: It was good to get this before my big race but it is not one that I would lose a lot of sleep over. Last updated: 2007-04-29 12:00 AM

Following my 'way too short' warm up run I spent the next half hour in the port-a-john. This was a new developement for me because I've never had this happen before. In hindsight my breakfast choice was less than par.
2 mile run. I should have gotten on the bike for at least 30' but I ran out of time. I also should have spent some time in the water because My arms weren't ready for the effort either. Oh Well, it was a 'C' race and I will use this info for Buffalo Springs.
