Swim
Comments: enjoyed it, felt good, congested, need to learn to draft. 3 laps kinda bites, I remember thinking in the first lap that this was just insane. Really happy with my time, gives me confidence for next weekend that I will at least get out of the water before the cutoff. Stumbled out of the water. I have heard that you are supposed to really kick the last little bit to get blood to the legs but I think that just tired me out and gave me a head rush when I got out. What would you do differently?: ease up a bit on the way in. Transition 1
Comments: not really sure, the bike time includes t1 and t2, 8 minutes total, happy with both, would guess t1 to be around 6. Spent too much time, didn't bother running to the place they let you get on the bike. Didn't put on sunscreen, lucky I did not get burnt, will have to put it on next weekend. Much better then last year at Chapperal, I almost had a picnic. Wish they had a stat for the t1 and t2 time though then I could know a little better how I did. What would you do differently?: nothing Bike
Comments: Took it easy on the bike because I was super concerned about the run, given my lack of training. My rank includes my t1 and t2 times, man some people must have been really moving, I felt pretty good about my bike time, about 10 of the really fast guys passed me, and I passed a couple guys, so I figure that a couple of people probably passed me in transition, not that it really matters What would you do differently?: maybe push a little harder Transition 2
Comments: quicker than last one, got the shoes on and started running. Right foot numb, but cleared up pretty quick. Run
Comments: Took it easy on the run, just a warm up for next week. Very happy with the run, even though it took me so long as I had not run in a long time. Walked through 8 water stations (15 sec each) and walked going up the hill each time (about 45 sec). Post race
Warm down: went to karate in the evening, relaxing class, luckily. Felt really good after, still felt pretty fresh, dont think my pulse got about 140 for any extended period of time. Event comments: no drinks at the end, stupid. no drink stations on bike but two on the run which was nice, only water though. Looking forward to this Saturday, going to give the same effort on the swim and bike and the first 15 km of the run. Last updated: 2008-06-15 12:00 AM
