![]() Swim
What would you do differently?: Better sighting. It was misty and I had trouble sighting on the up and back. The buoys were relatively small given the distance they were apart. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Went well, just need practice. What would you do differently?: Practice - set up better, more methodical. I'm so anal that even though I know I set up correctly, I check everything to make sure I have it. I'm going to use plastic crates next time for each T. ![]() Bike
What would you do differently?: I guess I shoul dbe proud of this since I bought my bike in January and did 19mph on a hilly course when I train with no hills, but I'm not. I'm happy I finished the race, but I know I can do better on the bike ![]() Transition 2
Comments: I went pretty hard for the last 2 miles on the bike so I was a little shaky. What would you do differently?: See comments on T1 ![]() Run
Comments: Remember 3 weeks ago when I ran a flat 13.1 in 1:52, I do. This shit the bed. I need to train on hills more, need to run more, etc. Granted I couldn't run until March of this year due to injury, so I guess this is p[retty good, but I think it sucks. I KNOW I could have done better. That said, I did a great job pushing the last few miles with minimal walking. Those hills were just so hard for me. What would you do differently?: Train better, run faster, etc. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Iced my knees and ate. What limited your ability to perform faster: Elevation profile of course vs my area Event comments: I enjoyed this race. Setup is a great company and I've enjoyed every race I've attended or raced. This course just didn't sync well with my first full year of training and I know I will do sub-6 at eagleman. I'm VERY happy and proud of myself for getting this done and really look forward to next year! One thing I did was wrote on my hands to keep moving. I never stopped moving. Ever. Drinking, walking, etc. Didn't stop moving. Last updated: 2009-03-23 12:00 AM

Woke up at 3:30am cause our alarm went off, no one set it. Went back to bed until 4:30, had some decaf coffee, cereal, browsed the internet and then had some rice toast.
Set up transition by 6:15am, swam a bit, tried to go to the bathroom (no luck), and had some water
Swam in the lake for a couple minutes to acclimate. Worked well.
