![]() Swim
Comments: This was my first swim in compition so I assume its normal to get kicked in the head several times while trying to swim. But overall this was a great swim. I was a little overwhelmed at first but I got into a groove and just swam my race. What would you do differently?: I just need to get more OWS in I'll get better with time. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: This is were I fell apart I could not get my zipper on my suit down when I finaly got my suit down I stepped away and my towl stuck to my foot and wipped out my suff I had layed out. Reached for my helmit and kicked it away and had to chase it down ( felt like keystone cops ). But I did get out of the transition area. What would you do differently?: Just relax. ![]() Bike
Comments: This was a great ride had a good pace the hill 4.5 miles in was a little tough but not long.Coming back down there wwas car in the road that blocked me for a while they finaly pulled over and let me by. What would you do differently?: I dont know this felt realy good maybe more long bike rides and some sprints. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: This was much better than T1 racked bike, helmit off took a shot of hammer gel and water and off I went. What would you do differently?: I think this was a good transition. ![]() Run
Comments: The run starts out with a steep hill and then into the neighborhood. There was a couple more hills but not bad. I kept up my pace all the way, I tried to kick it in but did not have any more in me at the end. What would you do differently?: Do more TRIs and more running. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Walked about drank water and cheered the other finishers. There was a Barbq afterwords and awards and prizes. This is a great race put on by great people will do this one again. What limited your ability to perform faster: I need more swimming and running practice and relax in the T1. Event comments: This was my first TRI so I dont have a lot of races to compare to but I had a lot of fun. Last updated: 2008-08-06 12:00 AM

Put on the wet suit and went for warmup swim water was great.
