Comments: Run felt good once I got to the top of the 1st hill -- it was little but it didn't feel little. Finished the last mile strong. What would you do differently?: I guess push myself harder. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: This wasn't good. Two ladies were sitting on the curb right in front of my space and didn't move. Of course I didn't ask them to -- silly me. Racked bike, took off helmet, headband and mitties. Realized I shouldn't have strapped my garmin over my jacket. Spent too much time w/ sweaty slippery fingers trying to undo and redo garmin so I could lose the coat. Changed shoes and grabbed water bottle. What would you do differently?: Strap the garmin to the bike? Still would have had to mess with it. If I'd had it on my wrist my jacket wouldn't have come off over it.... I know, buy a warm jersey to wear instead of jacket so wouldn't have to take it off. ![]() Bike
Comments: Fun ride. What would you do differently?: Unzip my jacket completely so it doesn't act like a parachute. Better yet, get that midweight jersey so no jacket. Get into aerobars -- not much practice yet so chickened out :) ![]() Transition 2

Warm down: The usual -- mostly chatted w/ BTers: Katie, Richard, Mark, Ben, Bert, and met Bridget and Scott. Hope I didn't miss anybody. Walked to the car for Endurox and electrolyte water. Checked results and got my goodie bag. What limited your ability to perform faster: Need to do more tempo and interval work. Event comments: Fun off-season race series. And they gave out a great tech T for siging up for all 3 races. Definitely do it again next year. Last updated: 2007-10-16 12:00 AM

Shower, pack, eat Cliff bar on the way to the race. Teddy got the mtn bike put together this a.m. so I could take it just in case. Cliff cappuchino gel a little before race. Lots of water.
Set up transition, potty, get #, run a couple minutes trying to induce asthma (not today!), rode a couple minutes to make sure everything was working properly. Stretch while waiting in line to start.
