 Swim
Comments: Course was a big advantage for me as my navigation is usually an issue. With the canal being 20 feet wide, I never had to look to see where I was going or if I was off course. Freestyle stroke the entire course. Just felt great. Navigated turns well. Passed a bunch of people. What would you do differently?: Just train more in the pool...I should be swimmimg 1:40 to 1:50's all the time.  Transition 1
Comments: Not a bad transition... alittle dizzy trying to bend over to remove wetsuit. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Bike
Comments: Felt great on the first loop. Maintained a nice tempo the entire loop and felt great. Thought everything was going great until I hit the wall about mile 20....lack of good long rides. Took away a good overall bike and later hurt the run. But I am not complaining... I felt good with this ride What would you do differently?: More long rides Transition 2
Comments: Need to get this under a minute as before  Run
Comments: I just had nothing in the legs...which was suprising. I am not sure what happened. I was expecting a 9 minute mile pace and through the first 5 k I was on pace. Then the wheels fell off. The last 5k took 35 minutes. I had to walk through the waterstations and brief 30 seconds periods a few additional times. Oh well!! What would you do differently?: Needed to maintain 9 minute pace throughout. Maybe started to fast on first 5k...25 minutes. The additional 6 minutes meant 40 spots overall and a top 50 % finish Post race
Warm down: Brief ride to stretch legs and visiting with a few friends. What limited your ability to perform faster: Any real ability Event comments: Another great Tuxedo Brothers event. Fantastic new venue downtown and one I would recommend to new triathletes (the also had a sprint and a duathlon) and the swim was very well done. It allows for excellent navigation and if someone panics they can just stand up. Bike and run were nice setup. Last updated: 2008-08-06 12:00 AM

Woke up early and fixed a peanut butter and honey sandwich...downed two bottles of water.
Got to site a little later than I was hoping but thought everything was going to be fine. Wasn't planning too much of a warmup but about three quarters of the way to the swim start, I realized I had forgotten my goggles. Warm up turned into a mile or so warm up run in my wetsuit.
