Swim
Comments: Damn was I slow. 86th overall. I guess the aquaphor kit and not shaving my legs slowed me down. I was lapped by 2 other swimmers in my lane and I just felt slow so I swam as hard as I could. THe time on the race posting said 8:40 but I had to run out the pool door to get my final swim time so I was 8:20 out of the water. Damn I was slow. What would you do differently?: Well it was a pool swim, what can I say. Transition 1
Comments: First fastest overall, not to bad. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Bike
Comments: Good ride. I started hard but had to pass a slower guy on the bike path, that cost me 2nd overall by 1 second. Only 8 seconds behind the overall winner who is an ex pro! Got into a groove and just concentrated on pushing as hard as i could. Passed lots of people. Saw my wife at about mile 2 and told her she looked strong! Pushed hard up the 2 small hills and headed into T2. One of my better rides I believe. What would you do differently?: Not ride 93 miles the day before. But this was a prep race for IM. Transition 2
Comments: Fastest overall! What would you do differently?: Nada. Run
Comments: Good run for me on tired legs. I started hard and jsut pushed hard the whole time. At the turn around I went harder. i was at 10 minutes at the turn and wanted to break 19 minutes. Sprinted at the end. What would you do differently?: NOthing Post race
Warm down: WAtched michele finish and told her to push hard. What limited your ability to perform faster: 93 mile ride and a brick run of 45 minutes at 7:30 pace. IM training is most important right now. Event comments: Great local race put on by Myron! Met FF stock, saw 3sportthing and zev and ray. Met a new BT'er dan! Got a Fat tire cycle jersey for 2nd place. Cheered on everyone as they got there awards. Michele was 2nd in her age group. Her swim was 11:28 and the winner had a 7 minute swim. She only lost by 30 seconds! Great day! Last updated: 2008-09-02 12:00 AM

Michele and I got to sleep in since her wave went off at 10:40 and mine was at 11:30. So we got in a quick bike at home, ate breakfast, packed up and left at 9 A.M.
Warmed up for about 10 minutes on the run with Michele and then headed to the pool. Saw Ray Raise99 and zev/ zdog at the transition. THanks for working as a volunteer Ray!
