Comments:

salt water =uck. there was a few times i got some good gulps of salt water and yeah messed my pace up on the swim.
What would you do differently?:

spend more time doing open water swims.

T1 Was overall real good i got everything on nicely and lace my shoes up
What would you do differently?:

the only thing i might do different is to invest in a set of yanks so i don't have to worry about tying my shoes

Comments:

out and back course. with a beautiful ride next to the ocean. i started out flying and catching up to people in my age group but couldn't sustain the pace all the way throught. as i bonk with about a mile left on the bike.
What would you do differently?:

do more race pace rides alot of my training rides are commuting rides and generally not as hard as they should be.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

spent way too much time in T2 considering i didn't have to switch shoes. I fumble with trying to take the garmin off the bike to bring with me on the run and wasted valuable time till i finally just said forget it.
What would you do differently?:

find a way to transfer the garmin better from the bike to the run with me.
Run
  • 00m
  • 3 kms
  •  min/km
Comments:

the run suck my legs were dead from the bike and i had a hard time just being able to jog it.
What would you do differently?:

do more brick workouts. to train my body to make the switch better.
Post race
Warm down:

a jog around the block and grab a bannana and strech out.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

i had stomach cramps throughtout not sure if it was butterflies or just the fact that i had mcdonalds for breakfast. i think it was also cause i filled myself at dinner the night before carb loading.

Event comments:

Grass roots triathlon. the Race officals use a stopwatch for all the timing no champion chips, no big clock at the finish line. the results were posted immenditaly which is kinda a bummer. all in all it was still a very enjoyable triathlon and show that i defintaly need to step it up before xterra.
