![]() Swim
Comments: started at the back of pack and finished that way. What would you do differently?: I would have ran more. I think i was the first one to actually swim. In fact i stopped swimming and ran a few times. I should have ran into the water until it was deeper. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: t-1 went pretty well. put my shirt on, then socks and shoes. I didn't notice any problems. What would you do differently?: Nothing ![]() Bike
Comments: Rode pretty good. I didn't push it too hard as I knew I was going to be done in time to meet my overall time. I didn't go anerobic on any of the "hills". Spinned up all of them. What would you do differently?: While I was pretty fast vis-a-vis the rest of the field, I could have pushed it a little harder in the middle. Kept a nice comfortable candence the entire race. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: t2 seemed to fly by. I dismounted at an almost complete stop. No worries, I wasn't going to try a flying dismount. I had my bike shoes and helmet off and running shoes and race belt on pretty quickly. In fact, during the run, I really didn't remember where I put them. When I got back to the my bike after my run, I was glad to see that they were in a reasonable pile What would you do differently?: nothing much. I'll have to practice the flying dismount sometime. ![]() Run
Comments: I took the run pretty easy, not that I could have ran much harder! What would you do differently?: increase the pace the entire run. Should have kicked it up the last mile. I had it in me(i would like to think) but I knew I was going to blow my goal time away. ![]() Post race
Warm down: had a bottle of water, walked around then a few beers. What limited your ability to perform faster: my wieght obviously. Only training for six weeks prior. Event comments: Was really dissappointed that there were no split times. So I'm taking an educated guess on most of them. I knew my bike time from my computer and overall time. Backed into the rest. Pretty accurate although, I didn't think I ran that fast. I may have becuase I'm pretty sure I was out of t2 at around 55 mins. Last updated: 2007-08-06 12:00 AM
