 Swim
Comments: got stuck behind two people early on; just past second turn my chip started comming loose - had to stop 3 times to adjust it; got congested mid way tru; swam into a lot of debris just after last turn; took most turns wide just to avoid others What would you do differently?: make sure chip is secure before race starts  Transition 1
Comments: transition area was full of wet sand wet suit got stuck on chip strap; put helmet on then realized I forgot to put bike shirt on, took helmet off, had problems put bike shirt on (waste of time!); rinsed and dryed feet before putting on socks and shoes left coffee shop covers on shoes and I was glad I did, took a few extra seconds at bike mount but atleast cleats were clean! What would you do differently?: not put on bike shirt  Bike
Comments: I forgot to count my laps so I biked 5 laps instead of 4. Only got slowed down at the last haipin turn. Time with 4 laps 1:14ish. What would you do differently?: COUNT MY LAPS!!! Transition 2
Comments: got stuck behind people walking their bikes back in; had a problem getting my bike back on the rack guess I need to rack by handle bars not seat; legs were a little shakey right off of bike ate 1 hammer gel and almost 1 bottle of endurox What would you do differently?: Rack bike by handle bars  Run
Comments: ran the first lap fast, I think I slowed down a bit on the second lap. felt good on run; but found out course was 400m short...bummer took 1 hammer gel 1 mile into run What would you do differently?: nothing Post race
Warm down: some stretching (left hamstring was tight) What limited your ability to perform faster: 5 laps on bike; slow T1; chip strap during the swim Event comments: place 42 in age group out of 76 but with 4 bike laps I would have placed 14! would have placed 374 overall instead of 687 Last updated: 2005-06-02 12:00 AM

Elite 2863  | Subject: RE: CapTexTri Great job and Congratulations on completing a triathlon. Sounds like you made a lot of typical mistakes. The first few races should be learning experiences. Way to hang in there and keep a positive attitude.

Borrowed a pump to put air in my tires, all the air came out of the rear tire and I wasn't able to get the pump hooked up to the nossel. Got help from Jack and Adam's and the guy told me I have the wrong type of tube in my tire. He was able to fix it to get air in and I was good to go.
