Swim
Comments: This was not my best effort. It was a crowded start and I took a couple kicks to the head. I ended up doing the breast stroke for the first 150 yds. After that it started to spread out, but I couldn't swim with my head under water. I kept thinking about swimming into someone. So, I breast stroked the whole thing. At least now I know what is the slowest swim I could possibly do. What would you do differently?: Maybe try freestyle? I hear it's faster. Transition 1
Comments: I think I did good here. I need to get it down below 1 munute. What would you do differently?: I need to focus on quick efficient movements. Bike
Comments: After my terrific swim, I gave myself a motivational speech (cursing)while I ran to the transition area. I rode hard to try and make up some time. I struggled at first with passing, but once I got in the open I turned it up. What would you do differently?: Pass slower riders quicker and focus on being in the aero position as much as possible. Transition 2
Comments: I used cage pedals so I already had my running shoes on. I ditched the bike and started running. Run
Comments: I lost my Garmin Forerunner before the race and really missed it in the run. I had no idea how I was doing and just ran at the pace of the people around me. I had trained to run about 2 minutes faster, but didn't do a good job of getting on the correct pace. What would you do differently?: Find the Garmin. Push myself more. Post race
Warm down: I went out on the course to find my parents and my daughters. Cheered for my wife and friends as they came in. What limited your ability to perform faster: Swimming breaststroke and losing my Garmin. Event comments: This is a great race. I hope they add it to the Tri the parks series. Ga Multisport did a great job. Last updated: 2007-08-11 12:00 AM

We got to Cordele on Friday and dropped the girls off with my parents. Having my parents there really made it fun. In the morning, drank some coffee and ate a cliff bar.
No warm up. I wanted to save it all for the swim...
