 Swim
Comments: It was first triathlon and I was already nervous about the swim. I think I began to panic after I was passed and got some water through my goggles. It messed my pattern. What would you do differently?: Be more confident in my training and trust that I can do it just as I trained.  Transition 1
Comments: I don't have bike shoes that snap on the pedals. I had a tough time getting the socks and shoes on. It took me a lot longer to get everyone on and get the bike out than I thought.  Bike
Comments: It was my best bike time to date. I think I could pushed harder in the first few miles of the bike. I didn't drink any water...big mistake! What would you do differently?: Get to a faster pace from the beginning. Drink water at least 30 minutes into the ride. Don't slow down too much approaching hills. Transition 2
Comments: It was a quick transition because I already had my running shoes on. What would you do differently?: Don't concentrate on trying to eat gel. I think I wasted more time trying to eat some power gel than the benefit it gave me.  Run
Comments: My legs cramped up right at the beginning of the run, I had to stop and stretch. It wasted a lot of time...it took me until the first mile for legs to feel loose again. Post race
Warm down: Didnt' do any. Last updated: 2005-05-02 12:00 AM

| St. Louis, MO | Subject: RE: Tri-Benbrook Triathlon Nice work! Don't you just want to tell everyone how cool it was???? I just had normal dinner before the race, but tried to eat balanced meals the 4-5 days before. Pre race dinner was steak,green salad, bread, corn and squash. Breakfast was banana bread with pnut butter, water followed by banana 45 mins before race. |

Regular 131 Flower Mound, TX | Subject: RE: Tri-Benbrook Triathlon Great job! I feel your pain about the bike. I did my first tri last June and cramped the whole run. Mountain bike did not cut it. Bought a Cervelo TT bike which has made a huge difference. Are you doing the Metroplex Sprint in Grand Prairie in June? |

Regular 77 Fort Worth, Texas | Subject: RE: Tri-Benbrook Triathlon Hey Thanks. Yeah, I am hoping to win a Cannondale road bike on Ebay today...it is not the best available...but until I get more money, it will have to do. ANything will be better than a mountain bike again. No, I am not going to do the Metroplex Sprint, it is one week after another one I am doing in Atlanta. I am considering doing the Woolman Olympic Tri in August, however, I would have to improve my swimming a whole lot before I could do that. But I am hooked on Triathlons now, I love training for them. -Anant- |
