Swim
Comments: Great swim considering I haven't been swimming in 3 months. What would you do differently?: Train MORE! Transition 1
Comments: Rode the bike without socks. What would you do differently?: Have a bucket to dip feet in to get the dirt and sand off. Bike
Comments: Beautiful fast course. I felt great on the bike. What would you do differently?: Push harder. Transition 2
Comments: Took time to wash the sand off the feet before going into the running shoes. What would you do differently?: Need to learn to run without socks to save a little time here. Have a stool to sit down on. I don't have the balance to put on the shoes standing up. Run
Comments: Here is where I lost all my momentum. I started out running, but quickly went back to a fast walk. I ran maybe 1/8 of the course and walked the rest. I was fun to hear a runner swear when I went walking past them. LOL What would you do differently?: Work harder on improving my ability to run. If I can do a 12.6 mile with it primarily be walking just think, I could break the 10 mark if I ran the whole way. Post race
Warm down: Lots of room to walk around. Plenty of fruit, granola bars and cookies for food. What limited your ability to perform faster: ME! Event comments: Need to have the volunteers in matching shirts so that they are easy to find. Not enough bike racks and people really spread out making it hard to find a spot for your bike and I was there early. Only a race number for your shirt. No marking for the swim, no number on the bike. Too many non-participants in the transition area. Need a bit better control there. Last updated: 2009-01-04 12:00 AM
