Swim
Comments: i swam way too easy the 1st half. I guess I didn't think I was ready to push from the getgo. once I began pushing the pace I passed many guys/gals on the elite wave who were wearing a wetsuit. What would you do differently?: push hard throughout Transition 1
Comments: long run to T1. it was ok nothing to spectacular Bike
Comments: ok ride. 1st 20 min my legs felt weak with no pop and I felt like I was done. After 20 min someone turn on the power switch and the legs came around. I felt good and managed to push at a descent clip (235 watts, 24 mph) for last 40 min which also are the ones with most hilly/rolling terrain. What would you do differently?: nothing much I am still getting the cycling legs back and I did two intense sessions during the week. Transition 2
Comments: again nothing too relevant to report other than I am a bit rusty Run
Comments: I felt good and strong throughout. I didn't run as fast as I can when in shapoe but I was ok with it and I didn't risk ushing more of what my fitness would allow me. Surprisingly as the race wnet on I felt better and the legs felt good besides swom calf/tendon tweaks. I ended up with the fastest run of the day which is strange :) Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: fitness. but happy that it is coming along back and that i managed a good result. Event comments: nice race as always Last updated: 2008-02-21 12:00 AM
