  • Comments: My first OLY and I think I did pretty well. The voluneteers were excellent. I rather liked the bike course as it was predictable (you know the course and what to do where) and closed to cars. They checked my body mark when I emptied my transition area; thought that the security was a great idea. Next year, it's more OLY, a HIM and a marathon to train for an IM in 2009.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: This was a dissapointing race for me. I was really on track to have an excellent race up to half way through the bike. All my races this year I have finished top 10 except this race If I hadn't had the leg issues and had done a 2.27hour time I would have got 8th in my AG and about 50th over all. This sport is a tough sport after podiuming last race and experiencing today's results a lot depends on the day. In thinking what went wrong maybe I pushed too hard on the swim?. I think three main issues. 1/ I don't train on the flats and being stuck in my Aero bars for 25 miles without any break killed my hammy. 2/ In my race fuel I had Spiz and Water and no Electrolites I think I got dehytrated. 3/ My nutrition the week before the race was bad worked in NY a couple of days and went out for beers in NY on Thursday night... The Positives: ------------- 1/ Swim has always been my limiting factor, today was awesome. If I can swim this good next season beware if you are in AG 35-39 and race in

  • Comments: In my head I had decided today was the day I'd win my AG. I met all my time goals except the run, I really should be happy with the race. I'm still a little let down, but I have to remember it's only my first season. Now I've got the "off season" to work hard and place well in 25-29 next year. I'll be back to race this one again in '08.

  • Comments: The heavy humidity coupled with the pollution of Bridgeport does not help my breathing (even though the race is on the water). However, Mossman always puts on terrific events. Very well staffed and great goodie bags and dry-wick T-shirts for all. I even won a fuel belt for the worst bonk of the race!
