Swim
Comments: I couldn't catch my breath; my calves cramped up, forcing me to swim a modified backstroke; my suit was too constrictive in the arm movements; I veered off course several times due to not being able to see from my back. What would you do differently?: Everything. Use a different wetsuit, stretch my calves better, and make sure I'm hydrated. Transition 1
Comments: Was very dizzy coming out of the water, couldn't run very fast to transition area. Other than that, it was ok. What would you do differently?: Roll the swim cap off instead of trying to pull it. Bike
Comments: A good ride overall. What would you do differently?: Maybe try to spin a little faster on the flats. And put some Vaseline on my taint to prevent abrasion soreness after swimming in salty water. Transition 2
Comments: This felt like it went pretty fast and smooth. What would you do differently?: Nothing that I can think of. Run
Comments: It was pretty hot and there wasn't any shade. My shins were still sore from the previous week which limited my pace. What would you do differently?: Make sure I'm totally healed before the race. And put Vaseline on my nipples before the race to prevent abrasion soreness. Post race
Warm down: Walked to transition area to gather my stuff. What limited your ability to perform faster: I couldn't catch my breath on the swim; my calves cramped up on the swim; my shins were still sore during the run. Event comments: The race was well organized; the course was well marked and there were tons of volunteers directing traffic and cheering everyone on. Somehow I got put into the 30-34 age group even though I'm 29...oh well. Last updated: 2008-08-02 12:00 AM
