 Swim
Comments: I think that the lack of sufficient buoys actually helped me in the long run as all I could do was trust that the fast people that I was drafting off of were sighting correctly, so I just kept my head down and on their toes. Ending up working out well. What would you do differently?: Can't say I would do anything differently. Faster than normal pool time, so I'm pleased.  Transition 1
Comments: No flying mount here, but the tips Matt R gave at the transition clinic paid off. I think this was one of my fastest T1s. What would you do differently?: Try to rack a little closer to center. I was on the complete inside end.  Bike
Comments: Good hard push on the bike, but still seemed comfortable. What would you do differently?: Nothing I can think of right now Transition 2
Comments: A little slower to catch breath off bike and the guy next to me dropped his bike on me when he was racking it, but other than that, pretty quick. Did the Dollar trick with attaching race belt to visor and was out the door quite nicely. What would you do differently?: Try to get used to no socks for 5 and 10 Ks. I think I could go sub 1:00 if I didn't have to fumble with socks.  Run
Comments: Got a couple of cold chills and realized I might be short on something so I stopped at every water station and dumped one to stay cool and drank some from the other. I felt like my body could have pushed it a little more, but was nervous about going to much more due to the possible lack of fluids/electrolytes. Pleased that I just slowed the pace a little instead of walking though. What would you do differently?: Not sure yet, but definately need to make a few adjustments to make sure I can truly push it as hard as my body will let me. Post race
Warm down: Grabbed to water bottles and stood in the sprayer tent for about 5 minutes and then chatted with folks and grabbed a beer to load the sodium levels. (and to enjoy a well deserved beer) :) What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing other than my own nervousness on the run Event comments: Normal GA Multisport-run event. Most things are well done with a normal issue on the swim. Pleased with everything else. Last updated: 2008-05-02 12:00 AM

Got up around 5:15, made coffee and "woke up". Ate PB & H (honey) sandwich on the way to the race. Body marking and transition setup. Realized I was on the first rack with the "big boys" due to the swim time seeding at this race. Found everyone and chatted for a bit and then walked down to the porta-potty and then for a quick dip in the water.
Tried to get into the water to warm-up a little, but they were pulling people out as we stepped in. Oh well, who needs to warm-up anyway.
