Swim
Comments: swim was fun; felt good to swim 50 meters w/o having to turn @ 25 mtrs What would you do differently?: I don't know if I would have anything differently; swim faster Transition 1
Comments: transition felt alright; 200yards away from end of swim; What would you do differently?: i need to learn to trust that I have everything and just take off Bike
Comments: enjoyed the ride; held back for fear of knee hurting again; also a little uncertainty on having to run a 5k afterward; more 5k confidence would have helped me bike a bit harder even with the knee fear; definately held back from pushing a gear that felt big What would you do differently?: push a little harder; had more in me than I gave; my ideal goal was 20mph avg Transition 2
Comments: fun jumping off the bike going fast; quite enjoyable What would you do differently?: i need to trust that i have everything and just go; stopped for a second to double check that i wasn't missing anything Run
Comments: started wobbly... sped up about the right time but at halfway began slowing down until caught and encouraged by a girl; sped up immediately and held a solid pace until the end with a solid kick What would you do differently?: could have started kick earlier; trust my pace.. don't mentally blank out which causes me to slow down-have done that the last two tri's; maybe slow down @ drinking stations and make sure I actually swallow water and not spill it Post race
Warm down: hug Carter and Bethany; eat banana; slight stretching What limited your ability to perform faster: fear of knee hurting; comfort in knowing I can push a solid 5k after everything else is done Event comments: really enjoyed the race; my brother knew 5 other people there so hung around talking with them afterward; would definately do it again if in TX at time Last updated: 2007-06-01 12:00 AM
