![]() Swim
Comments: Swim went well and I cut 42 seconds off last years time. I was in the last wave and I ran into many people and had to diviate to avoid some swimmers. My breathing was better than OC Tri. I did everybreath and then two on each side and then switched and was able to bi-lateral breath at some points. Sighting was right on. First buoy was right in sun so I looked at swimmers on both sides to keep me aligned. Really no opportunity to draft so I just did my own thing. I felt good at end and was not too winded. What would you do differently?: I still do not hit my rythmn until 2nd half. Technique a little choppy in begining and I need to focus on smooth and true stroke earlier on. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: My T1 sucked compared to everyone else. I gave up 30-45 seconds. Had some trouble finding my bike, getting helmet on and glasses got tangled up. Also had trouble getting socks on. Getting on bike I missed my clip and had to stop. First time that has happened. What would you do differently?: I need to work on my technique. Getting wetsuit off and helmet on. Need to get better at jumping on bike and taking off. ![]() Bike
Comments: Bike ride went well. HR was not up in the L1 range but RPE was a solid 8-9. What would you do differently?: Get stronger. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: T1 went well. Cut 20 seconds off last year. What would you do differently?: Nothing. ![]() Run
Comments: Run went well. Was runing a 6:30 right out of the gate so slowed down a little. Start of 2nd lap was too slow at sligtly over 7:00 so I picked it up and was able to keep pace. Kept within myself and had enough to sprint it in at the end. I stayed focused and just prayed! What would you do differently?: Nothing. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Jogged for about 3/4 mile afterwards and then walked. Drank my protein/carb mix. What limited your ability to perform faster: I need to get strong on the bike. Everything else went as good as I could have expected. Event comments: Great race and great course. Especially good for beginners. Last updated: 2008-12-30 12:00 AM
