 Swim
Comments: The start was very difficult, I think a better/longer warmup would have helped. What would you do differently?: Warmup longer before the swim. I missed and intermediate bouy when sighting and ended up going wide by 50ft or so.  Transition 1
Comments: When I pulled the bike off the rack I forgot to lift the rear wheel and the pedals spun. This broke the rubber bands and my shoes flopped around. This made it very difficult to get into them. What would you do differently?: Start putting my seat on the bar and not the handlebars. This will make it easier to keep the rear wheel off the ground backing up.  Bike
Transition 2
Comments: I had to stop and start my cadence pod.  Run
Comments: I was pleased with this run. No walking at all, negative splits on the run. What would you do differently?: Get faster. :-) Post race
Warm down: Stretched and walked. I ate a banana and lots of water. I did not remember my recovery drink and my legs paid for it the next day. What limited your ability to perform faster: My bike was good, but I still think I can go faster. My run was good, but I think I can push harder through out. My pace watch helped keep me from slowing down across the run, but I think I can set a more aggressive pace next time. Event comments: I loved the course, but thought JAProductions was unorganized.

I slept pretty poorly, and got only about 4 hours of fitful sleep. I got up at 4:15am. Did the morning stuff, ate an egg on an english muffin. And left the house at 4:50. Mary Beth was with me and getting up early for her is no picnic.
I arrived at the race site at 5:15am. It was very dark and I hadn't brought a headlamp, but I did have my car flashlight. Once I had my transition area setup, I got body marked and then I did a quick 10 minute run. I got back cooled off and then got my bike stuff and did a quick 7 min ride. I got back finished setting up the bike, put rubber bands on the shoes. I hit the bathroom, visited with MB and then started getting the wetsuit on. I did a 5 minute warmup in Lake Natoma.
