What would you do differently?: Go Faster  Transition 1
Comments: Not the quickest transition but I skipped the socks this time and had no problems.  Bike
Comments: I was really focused on trying to improve my run speed and didn't want to use up my legs. After doing the 40mi bike Sunday then the two mile run/walk, I see that I can ride harder. What would you do differently?: Ride harder. Do speed work 1x per week Transition 2
Comments: Fairly average transition. I have not practiced this at all. What would you do differently?: I need to practice transitions.  Run
Comments: The garmin really helped me to make sure that I was on pace. What would you do differently?: Continue to increase run volume and do an intensity wo 1x per week. Post race
Warm down: This was the best post race. Not because of the event organization, but because of the people I was with. I'm starting to know quite a few people in the tri community here in SA. D's coach was there and some of her athletes (she is a whale trainer at Sea World)as well as several of the Tri-sition Area team and the beginnings of the Tri-Sition Area club. Everyone seemed to have a great race. Kelly was 3rd, Alicia 2nd and Dave 3rd in their respective AG. Stretched well and had a great brunch at Taco Garage. I'm looking forward to getting some hardware. I'm starting to feel like the bridesmaid.....always 4th, just missing out on the medals. What limited your ability to perform faster: I am still learning how hard I can stress my body and have it continue to perform at an increasing level of intensity. It will simply take time and practice. Event comments: Fun race! Last updated: 2008-07-29 12:00 AM

Stayed at friend's place to save time on the drive (by 45 minutes). Up at 4:30-protein shake coffee and oatmeal. Dressed and out the door by 5:15. Nice to have someone organized and ready to go and race with. Arrived at 6:00 and got a great parking space and choice in transition. The Tri-Sition area crew was there and all had our jerseys on. The jerseys look pretty cool. Talked to Kelly and Alicia.
After transition setup, went on a little warm up jog with D. and stretched. Waited for quite a while with D until his start then waited some more for my swim start but was right next to Alicia and the time went quickly.
