![]() Swim
Comments: I have no excuse other than I suck at swimming. I didnt panic, I wasnt cold, I navigated pretty well. I was just slower than I would like to be. What would you do differently?: Swim to the "left" more. I ended up dangerously close to the far exit bouy. The current gets ridiculous toward the end of the swim and I really had to motor. I didnt quite expect the increase in current right by shore, and I didnt plan ahead well enough for it. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: As I ran with my bike, Im not sure what happened. I think another cyclist hit my shoe. One of my shoes flew off right before I jumped on the bike, and I had to stop, unclip the other shoe, put both on, and then get going. It sucked... but otherwise T1 went great. I ran really fast the mile to get to T1, and I was hapy with the performance other than the shoe flying off my bike. What would you do differently?: Make sure the shoe is rubber banded on. ![]() Bike
Comments: Overall a great ride once my shoes stayed on! Saw a couple people wipe out pretty hard... its definitely a technical course and should NOT be attempted by novices on the bike. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Overall a good T2. The new elastic laces really helped out. ![]() Run
Comments: I would have liked a little more water, as I started to get a little warm the last couple miles. I was well trained for the run though, and besides not being able to pass some people I absolutely loved the run. What would you do differently?: get out of the water sooner, which would make the later stages of the race easier by having less people to pass. ![]() Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: My swim.. and other people on the course. Its very tight, witha lot of people, and no room to pass. Event comments: Best race yet... I will be in the lottery every year for a spot! Its definitely a race you "learn" a little the first year, and could come back much fasterthe next year. Last updated: 2008-04-09 12:00 AM
