Swim
Comments: I kept getting hit the whole time and I never got into a rhythm. At the end of the swim I hit a big rock with my foot and I was hurting big time. Next year if I do this race I will stay to the right of the rocks. I was limping as I got out of the water... What would you do differently?: Let everybody in my age group start and then swim at my own pace. I started in the front and I kept getting hit by faster swimmers. One guy hit me really hard on the head. OUCH! Transition 1
Comments: Geri was talking to me and I was telling him to take pics. My transition was ok. My foot was really hurting from hitting the rock and I was hoping it would go away and it did. What would you do differently?: Nothing Bike
Comments: I started pretty good, passing a lot of people but I also got passed quite a bit on the hills. Some older guys were flying as per usual. I need to work on my gear changes and also on hills. What would you do differently?: Do a lot more mileage and hills. I can be quite good at this if I only train a little more... Transition 2
Comments: I did this transition pretty well. I started running pretty fast too. What would you do differently?: Nothing Run
Comments: I tried to keep my legs moving fast. I was doing a good job but I think I can go faster. Next year this will be my race. I kept pouring water onto my face to keep cool which was a good idea. I slowed down on some portions of the run but overall it was a good run I think. What would you do differently?: Tried to dig deeper and push a little harder. Easy to say and harder to do... Post race
Warm down: Walked and got some ice put on my left quad What limited your ability to perform faster: Better training. Event comments: I love this race. The swim is easy and the bike is challenging. I love the flat run with no hills which enables you to go fast. I would do this race again and would recommend it to anyone that is new to triathlon. You have to register early as it sells out quickly! Last updated: 2007-12-19 12:00 AM

Ate a banana and a peanut butter bar. Drank some water. Woke up at 5am and got to the race a little before 6. That was plenty of time to set-up, meet people and enjoy the pre-race routine.
Swam a little before the swim start. Stretched on the sand too
