Comments: Very tired going into the race. i think the heat had a lot to do with it - it's been hot and muggy all week. I could have used more sleep this past week as well. My hammys and back just felt tired. What would you do differently?: more rest prior to race. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Getting better. What would you do differently?: With the equipment i have (tie shoes for both bike & run) i think i'm doing pretty well. I've got it down. ![]() Bike
Comments: Only got passed by 2 women on the bike (from the wave behind me). More would pass me on the run. About half way thru, just as i was starting to get a good rhythm going, my chain wouldn't turn. I got off to find out my rear derailer was bent ! Must have it a rock or root. flipped the bike bent it back, to the chain turning and headed back out. probably lost about a minute total. First bike repair during a race. I was pretty proud ! What would you do differently?: It was a struggle the first mile or two. Finally got my cadence at a good pace, found a good gear and got my HR under control. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Probably my best T2 yet. ![]() Run
Comments: I wanted to stop and walk so many times but instead just slowed down a little. I was finally able to get my breathing under control and eventually could pick the pace up. What would you do differently?: Prepare better. I need to train smarter. Some hills for sure. Some harder shorter efforts. I need some help i think. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Drank WATER !! GatorADE !! Ate Italian Ice !! I was really overheated. Took an ICE COLD SHOWER (only cold water was available - but it felt great) After i got out, i went back in for a second one because i started to heat back up. What limited your ability to perform faster: Fatigue. The Heat. Event comments: This was the last of the 10 series WT Off Road Tri's. Great cookout with raffle prizes and prizes for the season winners for age groups. This is such a great series of events. Awesome Staff - they bring out great people. I'm sad it's over and so looking forward to next year !! Thanks WINDING TRAILS for another great season !!!! Last updated: 2008-08-05 12:00 AM

Got the race about an hour before start time. I'm so used to getting setup quick i didn't know what to do with myself. Talked to a first-timer racked next to me about the course and transistion setup. Hope it helped her.
Took two nice easy warmup laps to bouy and back. did some running in place on the beach. A little stretching & loosening up.
