 Swim
Comments: Never established a good ryhthm with regard to breathing or stroke. Went in figuring I could do it in about 9 minutes - didn't happen. It seemed as if we were swimming against the undercurrent most of the way. What would you do differently?: Not line up dead center and try to stay with the front of the pack. It would have allowed me to be more efficient with my pace and stroke. I literally felt like I was going to pass out on the run to T1. Stopped to walk some.  Transition 1
Comments: Still taking too long to get up to pedaling speed while getting feet strapped in. What would you do differently?: Practice transition into clipped in shoes.  Bike
Comments: This is where I am really disappointed. Why 17.9 mph? I've done a couple of races between 19-21 mph. Today I just couldn't push it. Maybe it was the swim. Just couldn't recover in time. I'm gonna have to get out on some hill rides. Transition 2
Comments: Pretty happy with time. No problems. Time could have been better or worse depending on locations of rack. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Run
Comments: What can I say? I'm just slow. As slow as this was, I'm not too disappointed. Last year in August I did the Wildwood Tri/Du and it took me almost 45 minutes (i walked nearly the entire first 1.5 miles). Yesterday I didn't stop at all. On asphalt I'm doing this distance in about 26:30. What would you do differently?: Continue to improve fitness and running pace. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Can't tell. Might have been starting with the swim. Bust my butt to get out there and felt exhausted after completing it and then having to run 1/4 - 1/2 mile to transition and getting onto bike with headwinds. Event comments: Will try to do again next year. Last updated: 2007-06-29 12:00 AM
