Swim
Comments: swim went better than i thought considering i haven't been in the pool a lot lately. I didn't sight all that great, but i wasn't bad either. I have improved my swimming straight ability, not by much, but it's better than it was. Transition 1
Comments: Average T1 for me. I guess it should have been faster since i didn't wear a wetsuit Bike
Comments: felt good on the bike. I passed a few people only got passed once. Nothting to exciting going on here. A lot of false flats and some good head winds in some sections. Transition 2
Comments: Not sure why i was slow here. Run
Comments: here is where the wheels came off. I suck at running coming off the bike. I can't get anything going. This has been a on going issue for me over the years that i have been doing tris. Of course i have some good runs off the bike, but for the most part they aren't that great, and this one was one of the worst i've ever had. I couldn't run any faster, i am not good in the heat and it was very hot that day, but there is no way the heat had everything to do with my poor preformance. Yes i do bricks, granted not a TON of bricks, but i do them and never feel like i have felt on Saturday. Everyone has bad days and i guess this was one of mine. I need to fix this problem or doing longer races isn't going to fun for me anymore. What would you do differently?: i think we all know the answer to this question. Post race
Warm down: i was so tired after the run, i don't think i ever felt this exhusted after a race. I don't know if the heat anything to do with it, but i was extra exhusted. What limited your ability to perform faster: the run!!!! Event comments: great race. This was the first time for the Oly and they did a great job. Last updated: 2008-07-21 12:00 AM

Normal bagel and jelly. Got my stuff together and headed out. I went the wrong way, I finally got myself turned around, got really nervous that I was going to be very late, thank god I wasn’t.
