![]() Swim
Comments: Swim was a shore start. Run out into the surf, swim straight out, round buoy, swim back in. Ocean was calm with some waves breaking at the shore. Water was colder than I expected but I warmed up quickly. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: I was very close to the bike and run exits so it was easy in and out. ![]() Bike
Comments: The road was pretty bumpy on the way out. There were a few turns to deal with, the first one I almost missed because there was no volunteer there directing traffic, just a police officer directing traffic. It wasn't obvious to me I needed to turn until 2 guys in front of me went straight which prompted the police officer to start pointing us to the right. I just barely made the turn. What would you do differently?: Make sure I remember to put that missing screw in my riding shoe. That almost caused me some grief. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Got in and out pretty quickly. Took 1 salt tab. Took too much fluids and was a little sloshy on the first part of run. Turned out to be nothing. ![]() Run
Comments: This was a fun run on the beach. It was kind of disheartening to be able to see all the way down the beach and how far the turnaround was. ![]() Post race
Warm down: gatorade, 1 salt tab, and a banana. I felt pretty good today and enjoyed the race. Event comments: Overall, it was a pretty well organized race. Lots of volunteers and course was layed out and marked well (aside from that one turn on the bike). I would reccomend and run this race again. Last updated: 2008-09-19 12:00 AM

Race was at 9am so I had 2 eggs, english muffin with PB, small OJ and coffee. Got to the event about 7:45, plenty of time to set up. GU 20 minutes before the swim.
short run, maybe 1/4 mile. Did some stretching.
