 Swim
Comments: Time Trial start so there wasn't a washing machine at the beginning like most tri's. The bad part was that you really had to be lucky to find feet to draft off of. What would you do differently?: Go to the pool more and maybe get another swim lesson. This is a good swim for me, but I need to get significatly faster to be competative, I gave away 4 minutes on the swim.  Transition 1
Comments: In and out What would you do differently?: Nothing, time includes run from lake and out of transition.  Bike
Comments: This is where Cycle Jam from Thursday night came back to haunt me. I usually climb well even on my TT bike. Today even the small rollers on this course were tough for me. What would you do differently?: Nothing. I enjoyed the Cycle Jam class on Thursday so it was worth it to be a little sore today. This is a C race so I wasn't too concerned about the time. I passed a ton of people on the bike and only was passed by 2 guys at the end (both of which I promptly dusted in the first 1/2 mile of the run) Transition 2
Comments: In and out What would you do differently?: Nothing  Run
Comments: I really liked this run course except for the hill. Felt great the first 4 miles and then faded a bit toward the end. My legs were really sore from the bike and Cycle Jam on Thursday night. Overall I was pretty pleased with this run, although I know I can run faster off the bike. What would you do differently?: Nothing, I wish I could have kept my feet turning over the entire time like I did for the first 5k. Good run overall Post race
Warm down: Walked around and cooled off, Captain Slow brought me a plate of food and a chair (Thanks Bill!). Cheered on the rest of the NAMC crew. What limited your ability to perform faster: I was really sore from the Cycle Jam class on Thursday and from not backing off on workouts this week. I wouldn't change anything though because 1) I really enjoyed the class on Thursday and 2) It's a C race and I have a Peak Race coming up in August that is much more important. Event comments: Jim at GA Multisports always puts on a great race. I will definitely do this one again next year. Last updated: 2008-02-10 12:00 AM

Got up insanely early at before the crack of stupid to drive down to West Point. This after not going to sleep until midnight...hooray for 3 1/2 hours of sleep.
After arriving at the race venue and parking I had to walk 1/2 mile or so to the transition area in the pitch dark. Might be time to invest in a headlamp. Racked my bike and chatted with other Team Sportfactory/NAMCers.
None, we were told to get out of the water when we went over to the lake to try and warm up.
