![]() Swim
Comments: Shallow, clear water, could see the bottom entire course. Aleviated some prerace concern. I started at the back thinking I would hold up some other swimmers. Started on the left end of my wave when the direction of the bouy was to the right. Didn't get into a good rhythm until I rounded the bouy. Exit was ok no "drunken sailor" effect some have alluded to. Overall I was pleased with my time. What would you do differently?: Pick a better starting spot, swim harder. I didn't really push it. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Struggled with gloves and decided to drop them. What would you do differently?: Lay out wasn't very well thought out. Practice transitions with different layouts. ![]() Bike
Comments: I figured the bike leg would be my best event so I laid it all out. It felt like a race; passing, being passed, then catching up and passing again. It was the fastest perceived hour ever, the course was over before I knew it. What would you do differently?: I left it all out on the bike course, save something for the run. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Had to dismount a short distance from the transition area, kept shoes on and walked in cleats to my spot. ![]() Run
Comments: Not good, Quads were cramping last mile of the bike so I knew I was in for a difficult run. Had to walk most of the hills. On lap two left ham started to cramp. Got lots of encouragement to keep going by the folks I passed on the bike. What would you do differently?: Train on hills, longer run brick workouts. Save some off the bike. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Stretch a little. Eat, drink, pack my stuff, ride to the parking lot. What limited your ability to perform faster: Not getting into a rhythm soon enough in the water. Going to hard on the bike and not leaving enough for the run for my current fitness level. Event comments: The pre-race meeting was difficult to hear, and there was some confusion when the swim waves were being organized. The weather conditions could not have been better. Times are unofficial, they weren't posted before I left. Official times and rank will be posted as soon as I get them Last updated: 2004-03-30 12:00 AM
