 Swim
Comments: Swim was fine, I just didntt use bodyglide and got rubbed raw under arms. I wen off course slightly on the way out, but didnt hurt to mch. Had tto stop and adjust goggles after being kicked off. What would you do differently?: Use bodyglide and not pay for it with a nasty rash all day  Transition 1
Comments: The strippers did a great job getting me out of my suit. I had no problem finding my bike. I fell trying to get my socks on, socks are a bad choice. I also thought i would drink a red bull while pushing my bike, the bike fell. What would you do differently?: Not try to drink while pushing bike  Bike
Comments: I did not rinse the soap out of my bettle verywell, so all my prepared drink was soapy tasting. However, they did have great support on the course and i was able to drink enough. Also, I dropped my PB sandwich that i was craving...but i had brought more food than i needed, so a couple pro bars were just enough. Yes, that was my sandwich in the middle of Rio Salado going toward the highway! What would you do differently?: Rinse my bottle out better Transition 2
Comments: No problems here, i got in and out as planned What would you do differently?: just go faster maybe  Run
Comments: Where do i start. I will just give you the quick and dirty. It hurt. My goals to this point had been broken, but the run i went over by 18 mins. I had to stop under the 202 for emergency restroom break, that took a couple mins. My knees just hurt....I just elected to walk 45 seconds after every aid station, that helped quiet a bit. At mile 12 I caught the adrenaline rush and ran the last 2 at an eight min pace! It felt good to finish strong! I hit the slip and slide and took me a couple mins to get it together. What would you do differently?: Not really sure. Maybe do longer brick workouts. I just was miserable. Post race
Warm down: couldnt really do anything, i was freezing, dehydrated, and my knees were in really bad shape. I got over to the landis tent and got some relief. Shortly after i ate a whole pizza1!! What limited your ability to perform faster: My run. Event comments: The course was great with plenty of volunteers. I did great to my ability until the run. My mind was strong, I just really had bad stomach and knee issues. I was proud to get in under my time of 6 hrs! Last updated: 2008-10-21 12:00 AM

Woke up a 4:45 and had my oatmeal and berries, coffee on way to race.
Really just stretching and practiceing transition. I had to use the restroom 2 times and it was not pretty, i dont know if it was nerves, or something i ate the day before.
