Swim
Comments: ok swim. Was pretty close to accurate with the 586 yards. That is what 1/3 of a mile works to. My swim took a holiday this year, so, pretty much what I expected. Lots of weeds.. long stringy grassy type. Got in your face, your goggles, wrapped around your shoulders etc. My navigation was a little off. Found myself to the outside a couple of times. Definitely not in the high traffic zones which was where I should have been What would you do differently?: Swim more. I probably say swim more in this part of the race report, in every race report. Really, it's the only answer. Transition 1
Comments: T1.. good position for swim exit, a little far for bike out and in. Good for run out. What would you do differently?: Nothing. This was fine. Bike
Comments: Going into this race, my leg muscles were extremely sore. I expected to take a hit on the run, but not on the bike like I did. Had little power to give. Still managed a decent split, but was not what it could have been. This hurt more than expected. What would you do differently?: Stay away from squats and lunges 3 days before a race. Transition 2
Comments: Went no socks, but after I almost put a sock on.. said forget it and moved on. Good decision. What would you do differently?: Nothing Run
Comments: Again, legs were too trashed to do what I wanted to do. Had no push off which decreased my stride, so I compensated by increasing turnover. Love this running course. I was passed once. Not happy with Age Group place, but I understand why I ended up there.. so not unhappy with my performance.. just the reasons behind it. What would you do differently?: Same as bike.. Post race
Warm down: Walked around. Talked. Had fun. What limited your ability to perform faster: Have been seeing a Doctor for a Hip Injury. He trashed my legs during 4 sets of one legged squats and lunges. Hip was not a limiter, but the leg muscles were absolutely a factor. (Pretty sure I have never logged anything here other than 'Nothing' before. I could check, but not going to.) Heh. :) Event comments: Excellent race. One of the best sprints in Georgia. Last updated: 2008-07-21 12:00 AM

Drove down to PTC, Checked in, Set up T, talked to a bunch of people. Drank 1 boost and some water.
Tested the legs, they were sore. Didn't get in the water, but did get the heart rate up a bit before the swim start.
