 Swim
Comments: I kept going off to the left. I swam at least 2000m. Have to work on this. What would you do differently?: Work on drafting and sighting better.  Transition 1
Comments: Possibly from the cold water, my fine motor skills were off a bit. Fumbled with my shoes and gloves What would you do differently?: completely dry off feet before trying to put on my cycle shoes.  Bike
Comments: Had some knee issues start up about an hour into the bike. Realized that I did not pack the meds. Grrr. Worked through it. Quite bumpy roads for a lot of it but very scenic. With the amount of climbs, this was a great training ride for IMC. What would you do differently?: Make sure I have everything I need. Transition 2
Comments: Spent way too much time trying to get on running sleeves (calf). What would you do differently?: I will put sleeves on before the swim and leave them for the bike and the run.  Run
Comments: Tough run course. Pushed it and felt good. Knee started to bother me during the last 4 km. During the last half of the run, felt that I could have cramped up. Not enough aid stations. What would you do differently?: Possibly bring own water bottles for this run. I hate to have to do that but felt that I could have possibly gone faster with more nutrition. Post race
Warm down: Volunteers were great. Had a few bottles of vitamin water, bag of chips, turkey wrap and apple. Went and walked around for about 1/2 hr. Took a bus back to the Hyatt. Had a shower and drove back home. What limited your ability to perform faster: Knee flare up, lack of nutrition on run. Event comments: As stated above, good training race for IMC. I will do this again. Last updated: 2012-07-08 12:00 AM

Stayed at the Hyatt. Great place and good price. Special IM rate. Went to sleep around 10 PM. Fell asleep quickly, which is rare for me. Woke up at 4:00 AM. Mixed up my race fuel, ate a protein bar and had a protein shake. Worked well last time so I thought I'd do it again. Took bus to Ghost lake.
Chilly morning. Ghost lake was cold but not too bad. Took bags where they needed to go, hit the pot, then got wetsuit on. Jumped in the lake for about 5 minutes.
