 Swim
Comments: swim was ok for me. took me a while in the water to get psyched that i was actually competing. visibility was limited. What would you do differently?: intensity workouts to increase speed.  Transition 1
Comments: good transition for me. one of my quicker ones. What would you do differently?: wokr on the steps to a succesful transition. try to jump onto bike while running and get into shoes on the ride.  Bike
Comments: bike segment ok for me. would have liked to bave kept a faster speed, but, felt winded a little sooner than had hoped, and I was concerned about too much speed vs potential cramping again on the run. also, with some stronger headwinds sometimes and frequent tight turns made maintaining a decent speed difficult What would you do differently?: keep pushing! Deal with the wind. Not concern myself with potential problems that may happen in the run segment Transition 2
Comments: overall ok transition. need to work on speed. . What would you do differently?: maybe try getting my running gear and assembling while running out of transition  Run
Comments: had some very mild calf craming coming off the bike...but wore off as i got into the run. I think its from training and competing at two different intensitied vs hydration, electrolyte balance. otherwise, was still able to pull off a decent time for me at this stage What would you do differently?: intensity workouts on the run with some mroe transition workouts from the bike to the run. Post race
Warm down: finished. got some water. walked around. waited for henry to finish - he came in 2nd in his fat tire division...wow. was great. waited for vivianne. had a bagel and some oranges and relaxed What limited your ability to perform faster: intensity training. mental status - being psyched about the race. I was into it, but not as much as I had been in previous races...makes sucha big difference!! Event comments: overall another good race. there were so many participants this time it gort a little crowded on the roads. with the turns being so tight, it was tough to navigae well without fear of injuring someone else. i like the tradewinds series.

Woke up 4:30am. Shower. Oatmeal and a banana and then off to the race. My wife joined me later as race was about to start. Took electrolyte supplements as well as a hammer gel to try and prevent cramping as had experienced previously when transitioning from bike to run Found Henry - friend who was doing his first triathlon. Found Vivianne - friend from work also doing the tri.
swam for a few minutes. water and air were cool, so once I was in the lake I didnt want to come out
