Swim
Comments: I went out on the Swim WAY too hard. I went anerobic within 50 meters, and I kept pushing it. What an idiot! How many races do I need to do until I figure this part out! Geeesssshhhh..... Transition 1
Comments: I fell on my ass when I was trying to put my bike shoes on...got all dirty at the same time. Was tough to pull my wetsuit off. Bike
Comments: I had a solid bike, although I think I went out a tad too "HOT". I had to settle myself down and get into a good cadence and rythem, which I think I did. It was actually COLD on the bike, and my toes were frozen when I came into T2. What would you do differently?: Toe warmers for the bike! Transition 2
Run
Comments: Feet were frozen when I started the run, but it started warming up, and I could actually feel my feet by mile 3! I had a very solid run....was my best run at Vineman in 4 attempts. I was VERY focused and I pushed hard for the entire run. Post race
Event comments: Winning my AG at a pretty big 70.3 event was very cool. I feel really fortunate to be able to do this kind of stuff, and I simply won't take any of it for granted. Last updated: 2008-01-10 12:00 AM

The Lar Dog warm up consisted of some Dog Paddling in the Russian River. It actually was a nice warm up. I had a crappy head/throat congestion thing going on, which made me feel a bit out of it.
