Swim
Comments: I had good swim. When I looked at my watch when I was coming out of the lake I thought it had stopped, I could not believe I swam that fast I was expecting to come out of the water at about 1hr 35min. What would you do differently?: I dont know what there ids to change other than work on my technique so that I am faster the next time. Transition 1
Comments: I think I was in shock about my swim because I don't really remember what the transition was like. What would you do differently?: I don't really know at this point. Bike
Comments: I was very happy with my bike ride. I felt like i was working quite hard the whole time. It was a lot of fun. The one tough timer came at Yellow Lakes when I started to bonk. I was able to save my butt by taking in 5 gels. What would you do differently?: I would make sure that I take in more calories as I started to feel tired at Yellow Lakes. Transition 2
Comments: My transition didn't go to well, I could not decide what to wear, I put on run shorts and a t shirt then felt better in my tri clothes. So off went the run clothes and on went the tri clothes. A real bad mistake. What would you do differently?: I would make sure i know what the hell I am doing when I come into transition so it goes much smoother. Run
Comments: I felt really good going into the run. at about mile 12 I started to feel pretty used up. My quads were very sore. The winds on the way back made the run even tougher, oh well. What would you do differently?: make sure that I am always getting water and gels into my body. Post race
Warm down: Sit down and get some food into my body. What limited your ability to perform faster: I am not sure at this point. Event comments: The best part of this race was that I had personal bests in all three disciplines and that I did not get any cramps during the race. I would like to come back to IMC in 2009 to see if I can have an even faster race. Overall this was one of the most fun race that I have ever done. I was a blast. Last updated: 2007-08-14 12:00 AM
