Swim
Comments: What happen here? I started out good for the first 50 yards then breathing went nuts, I keep drifting left, just an aweful swim, no real bumping or water battles just me swimming like a ding dong. just baffled at this one, I'll just put it behind me and get it together on the next one. lost about 1:30 What would you do differently?: warm up in the water a little get myself ready to go. Transition 1
Comments: once again, I should have restarted this race, T1 was terrible, dropped my glasses, helment straps weren't out had to put it one twice, dropped the garmin, I did get my wetsuit off quickly. lost about :45 What would you do differently?: get some stick'em for the hand seem like they were dipped in butter dropped everything. Bike
Comments: had a good bike, a couple miles I eased off, but need the rest, the wind and rain made it tough the way through. What would you do differently?: not much with conditions I couldn't have went much faster Transition 2
Comments: good transistion here, had to go with no socks since everyting was soaking wet, in fact my shoes were filled with water. What would you do differently?: turn shoes upside down when raining another leason learned. Run
Comments: good run for me only had a couple guys pass me and I passed a guy in my age group that gave me 2nd. Shaved 2:30 minutes off last years time and felt I could hold that pace for a while. I did get a blister on my back heal from not wearing my socks, but what are you going to do in those conditions What would you do differently?: nothing ran the best I could Post race
Warm down: talked with friends and ate a little, was getting cold from the rain it just would not stop What limited your ability to perform faster: weather, a brain fart during the swim and T1 Event comments: a really good race for such a low cost only $26 for USTA memeber that's crazy. The volunteers were great all of them clapping while getting peltted with rain. Last updated: 2008-03-24 12:00 AM
