Swim
Comments: The wetsuit made the swim seem easier due to increased bouyancy. Pace was about what my training pace has been leading up to race. What would you do differently?: Of course, I don't have the same form in OWS versus pool. Get in more OWS practice. Transition 1
Comments: I was a little winded but the frustrating thing was getting into my socks. I guess they were too new and stiff. What would you do differently?: Bring stool and sit down to pull of wetsuit. Get socks on quicker. Bike
Comments: That first lap kicked my rear recovering from the swim. Really tried to make up time on the back side of course. What would you do differently?: I just need to dvelope more as a cyclist since this is moy stronger event. Would love to practice OWS / bike brick. Transition 2
Comments: Not too bad since I don't practice transitions much. What would you do differently?: Start practicing with my Yanks. Practice unfastening straps while on bike. Run
Comments: My legs were really heavy for that first .5 mile. Got to first mile at 8:30. What would you do differently?: I have increased my run training the last month and a half and expect improvement from that. I need to increase my pace and stamina. I would have cut 2:06 off my run time by maintaining the 1st mile pace. Post race
Warm down: Hydrated and ate snacks. Took pictures. What limited your ability to perform faster: This was a great evalaution race as I want to peak in July and August. Lack of OWS options. Event comments: This is a great race to start the season. Last updated: 2008-01-13 12:00 AM
