 Swim
Comments: Good swim, I took my swim coach's advice and held back a little bit so that I could save energy for where I would need it: the bike (especially) and run. What would you do differently?: Take note of which side we're supposed to swim to the buoy. I stopped briefly to see where the 2 guys ahead me went. Remember to mark race number on body w/ black marker  Transition 1
Comments: Not a chip race, times given for race parts include the preceding transition times. Had a difficult time getting shoes clipped into pedals. What would you do differently?: Take off swim cap before reaching transition mat Practice running start with bike followed by clipping into bike  Bike
Comments: Nice course, Mike's bike was lighting-fast! What would you do differently?: I need to either install my aerobottle, or learn to drink from a normal bottle at race pace - I missed a major opportunity to get well hydrated before the run. I maybe drank 1/4-1/3 of my bottle. Practice hill-climbing Transition 2
Comments: Not a chip race, times given for race parts include the preceding transition times. Considering that I had to tie my shoes, the transition went well. Switched into running shoes w/out socks for the 1st time What would you do differently?: Install and test Yankz, or at least get faster at tying shoes. Remember to throw on hat/sun visor before leaving for run!  Run
Comments: Went well, got passed by one person What would you do differently?: Practice finishing all workouts with a little "kick" so that I can have the power and energy to finish with a sprint and catch people. Post race
Warm down: None really What limited your ability to perform faster: Transition into bike shoes Lack of hydration on bike/going into the run Event comments: Relatively small event, but great race! Lots of fun, and it was interesting to see the 60th Anniversary Roswell Alien Festival that was going on in town. Last updated: 2007-07-07 12:00 AM

Mike (NM Outlaw, from Boston, MA) got me fitted with his old Felt racing bike with carbon fiber fork, and it was awesome!
None really, I was testing Mike's awesome Felt bike, almost missed the start; good thing the race started 5 minutes late.
