swim went a lot better then the last one at buffalo springs, the water felt great and i started to the far left so i didnt get trampled in the water and freak out.

swim more and focus, not breast stroke around the boueys, be more confident in my swim, and train more to be more effective in the water

ok so it was a long run from the beach to transition but i still took close to 2min longer then i should have. the stripers poped the wetsuit off pretty quick, took 3 yanks for the ankles to break (maybe 6 or 7 seconds) got to transition and dried off, put on jacket, socks, shoes, benie, helmet, gloves, in that order. tried off legs real quick again, then ran out.

not dress like it was freezing b/c it really wasnt that bad, but i was comfortable on the bike

pretty flat, and few small hills, nothing i would call a climb. got into a good groove early, avg about 18 or so into what i thought was a crosswind til i hit the turn and started going 28mph, the suprise tailwind was a nice bonus. the last 7mi or so the road was real sketchy, lot of potholes and rough spots but i knew that from driving the course the day before. overall i was pleased with the bike split. went about 85 percent most of the way to save my legs for a good run.

overall i was happy with the bike, maybe push a little harder on the way in but not much

pretty quick trasition, ran shirtless so all i did was take off helmet and jacket, slide shoes on and clip race belt of and go, put watch on at start of run.

learn to pedal on top of shoes and do rolling dismount

put together a soild run, about 2min faster then i expected. i wanted to hit the turn in 21 and i hit it in 21:45ish, wanted to negitive split and as i kept passing people it gave me more and more juice. hit my negitive split and ran a soild 10k

push a little harder and the way to the turn, i should/could of been there in under 21min.

michael streched my legs out right after run, they hurt real bad. ate 2 pizza slices =) hung out with unt tri team


fun day, i de do it again next year
