Swim
Comments: This was my first open water so I have nothing to compare to it. I was overly cautions, fear of drowning made me to conservative. I swam to close to shore. My goal was to swim the entire length but that was impossible because people were constantly stopped and standing in the way. I still beat my best 400 meter pool swim by 2 minutes. What would you do differently?: Swim closer to the buoys! Transition 1
Comments: Time is an estimate because I forgot to click after transition. Smothest transition I've had yet. I ran from the water, most people were huffing and puffing. I was not passed. What would you do differently?: Nothing Bike
Comments: Not 10 miles. Felt like a machine at the beginning, slowed some at the end. I passed multitudes and was passed twice. It was interesting passing little kids with streamers while I was in the aero position. Cones were useless. Drafting was a joke. What would you do differently?: Change my age and sex so I could start with the first wave! I guess the overall winner didn't complain though, he was in my wave. Transition 2
Comments: Smooth transition, no issues. What would you do differently?: I think I need to plan on stretching in transition because I could feel the cramps coming. Run
Comments: I could feel the cramps at the beginning but thank goodness they never really developed. I just kept going and the feeling went away. It was hot and I never really hit my stride. I wasn't passed until 20 meters to go by someone in my age group no less. I never saw him coming or I would have finished stronger. I was about a minute off my goal. What would you do differently?: Look behind me, see whos on my tail. Post race
Warm down: Nothing What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing Event comments: Always takes to long for awards. Last updated: 2007-06-21 12:00 AM
