 Swim
Comments: Probably pushed myself a little bit too hard but overall I felt good. I think my form has improved a great deal, however there is still a ways to go for swimming. This was only a sprint so I don't take much away from swimming at this pace for 400 meters, however I could have gone faster. What would you do differently?: Some sort of a warm-up would have been nice but not much else.  Transition 1
Comments: Definitely took some time here but nothing too horrible. The run from the beach to T1 was actually fairly long which adds to the time. Grabbed my bike and tried to mount but it wasn't very crisp. Was able to settle in shortly after. What would you do differently?: Not much. Could have moved more quickly or thought through the T1 more. In Minneapolis I was much more focused on the transition which may have lead to a little better time.  Bike
Comments: I feel so-so about this bike. I definitely didn't go all out but I did push myself. I still feel like the bike is slower than it should be, but I guess it was prett solid for my age group. What would you do differently?: Not too much. Transition 2
Comments: Nothing really to comment on. Solid time which could have been cut by a few seconds as I 1)took an extra drink and 2) Didn't take the most direct line to the run out. What would you do differently?: Now that I think about it, there was a lack of focus in the T-area on my part. Still, I'm not going to lose sleep over it but it's something to think about going forward.  Run
Comments: Proof that running is my weakest link. I didn't push myself nearly as hard as my other races this year, however I had a decent pace for me. I think this tri proves that I need to focus on the run during my off-season and then come back to the other two disciplines. What would you do differently?: Be faster Post race
Warm down: Grabbed some of the good food on hand, gatorade endurance, and took in the scenery. It was pretty hot and there were a ton of people around. What limited your ability to perform faster: I didn't go all out, but I'm not too strong on the bike or run. Continuing to train and training smarter will help me with my tough spots. Event comments: Good race that I recommend. Great volunteers, great post-race food and decent course. I actually liked the swim as it was something different with the set-up at Centennial Beach. Negatives- Waiting in a huge pack before the swim and not handing out the chips the day before. Although I should have remembered to pick up my chip. Last updated: 2007-08-12 12:00 AM

Woke up at 5AM and did the usual. Made two pieces of toast, got the water bottles ready, and packed up what was left to be packed.
Arrived at the race and got everything into transition well before the 6:45 closing time. Turns out I was one of ten numbers who didn't have a t-spot set up (it was a fluke), so me and another guy set up where the relays were.
None. I had to run back to get my chip and did not get to warm up in the water. Stretched while waiting to start the swim but that was about it.
