 Swim
Comments: Zig zagged on way to turn around point. Second half was better. Kept swimmers in view on either side of me to keep me swimming in a straight line. Let them look up to see where we were. Actually passed some folks on the way back. What would you do differently?: Make use of other swimmers for staying on course.  Transition 1
Comments: Tough getting suit off. Had shirt with running number already pinned, with gels and gloves in back pockets already. Rinsed feet with bottle of water. What would you do differently?: Bin of water to rinse feet. Drink more of electrolyte nuuns drink  Bike
Comments: Gu (no caff) taped to stem. With pretzel bag. 1 bottle of accelerade 1 bottle of water Transition 2
Comments: Good. What would you do differently?: Drink more Nuuns electrolye mix.  Run
Comments: Quadroceps just above knees itching to cramp up. Stopped about 8.5 minutes in to stretch. Left hamstring cramped up. Kept running. Quads threatening for the next 3 miles. Tried to lift knees to keep Qs from cramping. Passed a number of people that passed me on the bike. After turnaround, felt much better. What would you do differently?: Drink more Nuuns at T2 or just before end of bike. Train more for the run. Longest two runs were 5 miles around the neighborhood and 7 mile run home from school 9 days before the race. Post race
Warm down: Walked around a lot. Went swimming in the ocean. What limited your ability to perform faster: Cramping on the run. Event comments: Excellent first Olympic distanct triathlon. The swim was perfect. No swell, beautiful beach. Well organized. I will be back next year, definitely! James(8) and Madison (11) met me at the finish line. James at the finish "Did you like it, Daddy?" Through tears of emotion from having finished, "Yes, James. I liked it." Last updated: 2007-10-01 12:00 AM
