 Swim
Comments: This was a very easy swim...thought to myself that it would be a long day and not to over do it on the swim....nice comfortable pace What would you do differently?: Would have pushed it just a little bit more. Went out too easy!  Transition 1
Comments: This was a slow transition for me....Added task of stuffing wetsuit and all other items into a Transition Bag....Observation from team mate was that I was sorting through stuff. Wasn't organized What would you do differently?: Would have grouped things into a small bag and sorted while on the bike. Try Powerbars that can go on the top bar.  Bike
Comments: This was a good ride for me......need to continue to gain strength after health issues. Will need to continue endurance. What would you do differently?: Nothing much Transition 2
Comments: Got to T2...rack knocked over...bikes all over the place.... racked in clear spot next to my rack....no one set up on that rack area. What would you do differently?: Reposition shoes closer to front of the pad....this transition was slightly messed up due to the disaster of the rack.  Run
Comments: Heat was on! Had some cramping in first mile....stopped and stretched quads. Ran and walk for a majority of the race. Took opportunities to get sprayed down with hoses. What would you do differently?: Wouldn't do much differently. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Heat Event comments: Not a lot of experience but everything seemed to go smoothly. Last updated: 2007-07-26 12:00 AM

This was a major nutrition test at this distance due to diabetes. Pre-race nutrition plan developed by Sports Nutritionist. Up at 4:00 AM for breakfast (Bagel, peanut butter, banana and Ensure) and to get to race site. Unpacked bike from car....Ooooooooooh Nooooooooo! Forgot nutrition bottles back at hotel! Team member who was not racing went back to the hotel to retrieve them! Set up T1. Note: T2 was set up at Windsor HS (15 miles away) on Saturday, the day before the race. Place run nutrition in small cooler with blue ice to keep cool over night and during morning.
Brief run, some stretching and about 4 or 5 minute warm-up in the water.
