Comments: Ended up doing breast stroke most of the time. First few hundred metres was freestyle, but then lost rythm and felt more comfortable with the breast stroke. What would you do differently?: Need to practice the freestyle more. Transition 1
Comments: No timing for Transitions for this race. They are included in the segment times. What would you do differently?: Spent some time getting socks on. Need to practice this more. Bike
Comments: Rough when going against the wind. Course was nicely and with the many turn arounds was a little challenging. What would you do differently?: Practice more cycling and turn arounds. Transition 2
Comments: Couldn't find my position on the rack. Took a minute to find it. Had missed it my going passed it. Once racked, was ok and got in to running shoed pretty quickly. What would you do differently?: Find position quicker. Run
Comments: Felt heavy and sluggish. While there was not hills to speak of, there were some minor inclines that seemed to be pretty hard. What would you do differently?: Practice with Brick sessions. Post race
Warm down: Walked around and found friends. A little stretching. What limited your ability to perform faster: Practice. Practice and more practice Event comments: Overall a good gauge of where I am, and I definitely need work and practice. Last updated: 2007-05-28 12:00 AM

Met up with friend and went together. Wave start wasn't until 10:15 for me and 10:30 for him, but we met at about 7am and got Brampton by 7:30. Plenty of time to park and get acclimated with the area. Hung around the beach area and watched the KOS group race. Then get ready and put my big toe in the water to test the temp. Felt cold.
Put my big tow in the water. Lots of walking around (from the parking to the transition, to the beach and back to the transsition and back to the beach.
