![]() Swim
Comments: Swimming toward 1st buoy was difficult to see. Not used to swimming in a crowd yet. What would you do differently?: Need to train in open water more. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Not sure what took so long. What would you do differently?: Put sunblock on prior to the race, not in the transition... j/k, wish I could blame it on that. ![]() Bike
Comments: I think my downfall was riding a mountain bike. IMO, not bad for the equipment I had. What would you do differently?: Use a road bike. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Again, not sure what took me so long. Only needed to drop bike, remove helmet and grab a hat. Was in running shoes on bike already. ![]() Run
Comments: Sandy spots didn't take me by suprise (saw them the day before), but they are no fun when you are tired. What would you do differently?: Definitely need to train more on running. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Walked around, talked with my wife. Water, oranges, etc. What limited your ability to perform faster: I had a head cold. Didn't train for 1.5 weeks prior to race. Didn't train enough in general. Event comments: Only my 2nd race, so I don't have much to compare it too. Last updated: 2008-04-22 12:00 AM

Woke up at 4:35 after a restless night. Ate some oatmeal on the drive to the lake. Carried mine and my wife's gear to the transition areas and set up.
Went for a short swim, did a few jumping jacks, stretched a bit and waited for the event to get going.
