Swim
Comments: Swim felt good. Didn't have any contact with other swimmers. Navigation was a problem. Out to the first buoy was fine but either my goggles got foggy or that second buoy was harder to see (fog?). After the second buoy I was into swimmer from the prior heat. Also I had trouble finding where on shore I was supposed to land. Overall it was a fun swim. What would you do differently?: Be sure to use anti fog on my goggles. Thinking back I didn't start trying to navigate until after I was confused Transition 1
Comments: I am slow at running and taking off my suit at the same time. The lady who set up next to me took lots of space including 1/2 of my space. I used more care moving her stuff off my stuff then she used putting her stuff over my stuff. What would you do differently?: Try to get pumped up while in T1 one. Also spend more time thinking about my moves in transition. I've given transition very little practice. Bike
Comments: Most fun I've had bike racing. I was going at it with a guy my age. He would get me on the uphill but I would pass him back on the down hill. Also I think he was timid on the curves (as I was the first couple times I road this course). We were racing each other and it was fun. Ultimately he beat me but racing with him was a blast. Glad he was skinny. What would you do differently?: Pedal harder Transition 2
Comments: Hard to believe I blew so much time here Run
Comments: I have one speed running uphill and it aint fast. However my down hill speed is pretty good. Run wasn't that terrible. I did push it and was very tired but the shade and short distance made it better. What would you do differently?: Practice running up hills (yuck!) Post race
Warm down: Pack up and split for nephews football games What limited your ability to perform faster: Not so fast running up hills Event comments: This sport and the people in it are great. Last updated: 2008-06-17 12:00 AM
