Swim
Comments: my wave clumped together in the middle, lots of contact What would you do differently?: start out less tentative. I was nervous about not breathing evenly, so started slow. I picked up the pace after the first marker nad felt pretty good after that. Transition 1
Comments: bike mount was up a hill - fine if I had not had my gears set so hard. Almost tipped over before I even began! Once I got started and chnaged gears I was fine. What would you do differently?: Check my gears before the race to make sure I could easily start up a hill! Bike
Comments: I lost my first water bottle at about 5K. Bummer! Wanted to get it back because it was full, but there were too many people right behind me to give up any time. At about 20K I was cruising, didn't want to take my hands off the aerobars to put my water bottle back. Hit a major pothole and my hand bounced up and smacked the bottom of my sunglasses. Result? One big black eye! What would you do differently?: be more carefull setting my water bottle back in the holder, and not give myself a shiner! Transition 2
Comments: long uphill at start of run very intimidating as I don not like to run up hill. Had a hard time getting my legs under me. What would you do differently?: not sure - run more before hand? ha-ha Run
Comments: Hard run for me. Legs were tired from an all out bike, and started to get really hot. So many people passed me on the run, kind of a bummer. Felt like aI finished pretty strong (but that was the only strong part) What would you do differently?: train more for the run Post race
Warm down: pretty quick. Had a glass of water and made the big trek soen to transition to get my bike What limited your ability to perform faster: The run was the pits - flet like no stamina. Event comments: very fun race venue with so many marines, hovercraft... Last updated: 2007-07-10 12:00 AM
