 Swim
What would you do differently?: still need more work on style to make the swim easier. I was out of breath when I got back to shore.  Transition 1
Comments: Overall a pretty good transition. fell over getting the wetsuit off so just sat on the ground and finshed changing. I found putting on the shirt to be the most time consuming. Lacing shoes was Ok if a little slow. What would you do differently?: Practice puting a shirt on over a wet body.  Bike
What would you do differently?: work on my leg strength and durability. Watch my gears. I was not in the gear I though for about 3km of the ride. Transition 2
Comments: Decided to run with the same shoes as biked with as it was only a short distance and didn't want to waste more time changing the shoes. I am not using riding shoes just cross-training runners.  Run
Comments: Legs were very stiff off the start but had good tempo of about 90/minute. They didn't really loosen up until about 1.25K into the race. What would you do differently?: Need to strecth out my stride. It was too short even though I had a good tempo. Post race
Warm down: short wlak back into the transtion area. Remove excess clothing and walked down to lake for a quick cool off. after that over to resfreshment area to get watermellon and bananas. Drank the last 2 bottle sof previously frozen water. Event comments: This is a great first race. Just enough challenge on the bike to make you work. Last updated: 2008-05-09 12:00 AM

rough slepp. awake at 4:00 5:00 6:00 finally got up. Breakfast of miniwheats, as per usual, orange juice and apple. Had everything ready the night before. Loaded up the gear and hit the road. About 1 1/2 hrs drive to get to the lake. Registered and moved into transition area. Laid out gear
some stretching a little on the spot running. VIsted with some others who were on their first tri also. SHould have warmed up better. Maybe gone for a short run. There was a longer tri and a duathlon already going when I got there so got caught up in watching the events.
Got into wet suit about 20 minutes before race time. did a quick swim warm up. Maybe 509 meters to warm up and loosen the suit.
