Swim
Comments: Since I did not have a sleeveless wetsuit I decided to go without.I know I lost about a minute but my transition was faster. Our wave of Men over 40 was the most crowded wave so it got a little crowded and bumpy at the start and the first buoy. After that everybody settled and it was an uneventful swim. What would you do differently?: Not much. Transition 1
Comments: I had the fastest T1 in my age group but I had a hard time clipping in my left shoe after the mount/dismount line. What would you do differently?: Not much Bike
Comments: Generally speaking I took the bike easy because I was doing this race for fun and to be together with my son.The course was hilly two loop with excellent surface.It was labeled as 14 miles but it was a little over 15 miles total according to more than one computer. What would you do differently?: I would push harder if this would be my A race and possibly cut down close to 2 minutes. Transition 2
Comments: I took my sweet time in T2 What would you do differently?: be faster... Run
Comments: Suffered and did not feel good and did not want to push myself. What would you do differently?: Run faster and suffer more. Post race
Warm down: Got in shade and try to get my body temp. down and drink some fluids. What limited your ability to perform faster: Doing the race just for fun and not pushing myself harder. I was sick a week before and was in maintenance mode as far as training cycle goes. Event comments: They have to be honest with their course description and not call a very hilly run course flat in order to attract beginners and more people. Last updated: 2007-06-14 12:00 AM

Ate half a bagel with peanut butter two hours before and downed a gel 10 minutes before the swim.
Walked around the transition area.
