 Swim
Comments: The swim had worried me for a long time. First ocean swim and it was like being on a ride! The current was FAST. All those sleepless nights were a waste of time. The best swim I have ever had. I wanted to keep going. I think this swim can give a VERY false sense of security. It would have taken me twice as long in a lake. What would you do differently?: Worry less!!!  Transition 1
Comments: Quick transition, I could have been faster. but I wanted to make sure I didn't forget anything  Bike
Comments: Great course flat and fast. This being my first oly, I didn't want to burn it all on the bike. I rode hard but well within myself. I passed a lot of tri bikes and never saw them again. I wonder how much a tri bike makes a difference in speed?? Great ride! What would you do differently?: Go a little harder,drink more and take on more nutrition!! Transition 2
Comments: pretty quick. I had to dig in my bag for some extra gels. I was starting to feel my stomach virus kick in!!!!  Run
Comments: I totally exploded on the run. I have been suffering Plantar faciitis for the last 2 months and have not run in 7 weeks. I felt that on the run. I felt as though I had forgotten HOW to run. I was changing my foot strike and trying to find the most comfortable way to run. I really suffered. Without a doubt the worst run of my life. I walked a lot. Thanks to our cheering section (thanks guys I think you helped a lot of people get by!!!) at mile 2 1/2 I picked it up a bit, but the last 2 miles were brutal!! What would you do differently?: Be healthy get this plantar thing under control and actually train for the run!! Post race
Warm down: Took on water hugged my little boy and waited for my wife to come in. What limited your ability to perform faster: Injury and a stomach virus the last 4 days before the race(does it get much worse??!)..... I can't even believe we raced!!! Event comments: Great race I am very happy we chose it for our 1st OLY. Tons of volunteers great venue. We will be back next year healthy and injury free!!! Last updated: 2009-02-12 12:00 AM

Got out of bed and prayed that my stomach virus was a thing of the past!! Had some coffee. Gave my very sick wife a pep talk, (Great job Helle). A group of friends that were also racing met us at the house and we drove to transition. Muffin/yogurt and coffee for breakfast.
Too the long walk down the beach and streched my foot!
