Swim
Comments: Besides some dude passing me at the start then me re passing 2 laps later was silly. Felt good on the swim. I like being able to change breathing sides for gaining some speed toward the end. Also they jacked my swim time up. It said I did 17min swim. GEEZ... They forgot to take the time off from 1st swimmer started to when I started. What would you do differently?: Nothing. If it was nicer out I would of pushed the swim for sure. Transition 1
Comments: Wow it was so cold. I just tried to put on warm clothes and get the bike over with. Decide no warmers on legs at last minute which wasn't that big of deal. What would you do differently?: Not really sure maybe wore socks, but they would of been wet when I ran in them since I can't run in my shoes. Probably nothing. Bike
Comments: Best I could do considering conditions. Had some trouble breathing for some reason. Took some time for legs to warm up since they were so cold. Face hurt also at beginning. The worst was my feet, but not until the end when I tried to take shoes off coming into T2. I couldn't feel my feet to takes shoes off. Miserable. What would you do differently?: Not really sure. Just bad weather. Transition 2
Comments: Well this was horrible. I got off the bike and started to run. My feet have never hurt like that before. I couldn't feel them and the ground is wet and cold. It hurt so much with every step. I got to setup and put socks and shoes on and took off. I was so focused on my feet that I forgot my race belt with #. SIGH.... I had to run back into transition and get my belt and hat. I should of just taken the penalty cause it took me 2 min to get all the way back to T2 and to my stuff. What would you do differently?: not forget my Race belt with #. Run
Comments: Well now that I'm 2min behind the beginning was horrible. Running on frozen feet hurt and I couldn't put pure pressure down. Finally my left foot got better about halfway so I picked up the pace. My right didn't get better until the end. I was still having issues breathing for some reason. Maybe that cold/rainy air. Not really sure. What would you do differently?: Not forget race belt. Try to run faster at beginning. Running is pissing me off lately. Post race
Warm down: coffee and warm clothes What limited your ability to perform faster: weather Event comments: Besides messing my Time up it was a great race. I had to leave after the race and saw they forgot to take the time from the 1st swimmer entered the water and I started. My swim time said 17 min swim. LOL... Come on now... Not sure if they fixed it or not. I sent a email. I hope to hear back. Last updated: 2009-03-14 12:00 AM
