Swim
Comments: I just stuck to my race, and took my time to finish the swim. Did breast stroke the whole distance. I felt relatively good about the swim. I didn't need to stop at all to rest. I think my time was better then the last sprint I did. What would you do differently?: Same as always, I really need to work on my swimming to improve it. Need to aim to get to a pool much more often, and with some regularity. Transition 1
Bike
Comments: I ran out of my water bottles with heed at about mile 11 while walking up this long, steap hill. I have a great down hill for a lwhile, but I had to pay for it later when climbing back up had to walk about half to three quarters of the hill. Transition 2
Comments: I was not going to continue on the race to the run. As I was told that it was getting close to our check out time. However when I saw there were finisher medals, I decided to finish the race after all. Took some Gatorade to replenish fluids and also took the Endurolytes Run
Comments: I walked the course because I was soo tired from the ride on the hills. I ended up walking it so slowly that it took me much longer then 3 miles usually takes me. I was also trying to not dehydrate completely, as I was semi dehydrated from the bike as it was. What would you do differently?: I need to actually have enough left to run after the bike. Post race
Warm down: None, just about callapsed when done, all I wanted to do was sit down in the shade. What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of training on hills. Event comments: Again, there was not much of the post race activities left by the time I finished. I have to send an email to get my finishers medel as they didn't have any left for me. Also there was nothing left cold to drink, and only one warm bottle of water left to drink. Last updated: 2005-08-01 12:00 AM

Got up and had some breakfest in the hotel. Got everyone else moving to have some breakfest. Went to the tri site, a short drive from the hotel. Checked in to get race packet and chip, they wouldn't let me use my own chip. Then set up my transition area.
Did some streching to get the mussles moving.
