 Swim
Comments: I opted not to wear a wetsuit because: 1. It doesn't make me any faster (it actually makes me slower) 2. I figured I would save a minute in transition if I didn't wear it 3. The water is actually very pleasant right now. My goal was to go out and swim as hard as I could and see what happened. I started towards the back and just tried to keep moving forward. After Mooseman and swimming with my BT friends, it was weird to actually be swimming near other people ;)! My time doesn't really reflect how hard I tried on this swim, but oh well. Story of my life. What would you do differently?: This is as good as it gets right now.  Transition 1
Comments: No wetsuit=fast T1. Didn't bother putting my socks on before my bike shoes. Worked out just fine. What would you do differently?: nothing  Bike
Comments: I went out hard because I wanted to kill this course! Took a mile or 2 to find my legs, and unfortunately the hardest hills were in those first miles ;). But overall it was good, and I like that compact crank on the hills! Passed a bunch of people on the climbs and bombed down the descents. Drank half a bottle of diluted Gatorade. What would you do differently?: Nothing, Transition 2
Comments: T2 was included in my run time, but it probably took me about a minute to put my socks and shoes on. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Run
Comments: I was most pleased with this part of the race. My legs felt great right off the bike and I was able to maintain a good, strong pace. Passed a few skinny men, which always feels nice ;). This was the first time I have run this entire course (without a pacer) and didn't walk at all. I am happy with the time, especially since it includes T2. What would you do differently?: Nothing Post race
Warm down: Changed into warm clothes and hit Harry's! What limited your ability to perform faster: Sucking at swimming Event comments: This is just a local Thursday night $15 race- no frills, no awards, but nicely run every year. Last updated: 2007-06-15 12:00 AM

At first I was doing the bike part of the relay, then I wasn't doing the race at all, then at the last minute I decided to do the whole thing, so when I got home from work I packed up my stuff and headed down to Marlborough. Kalahari bar and water on the way.
Hung out and talked with BT people, checked out Kelly's hot new bike, made fun of Seth for being dressed like it was winter, ate a few Shot Blocks.
