 Swim
Comments: This was my firts triathlon. I did not spend enough time preparing for the open water swim. I swam 99% in the pool. The waves were incredibley bad. I spent about the firts 400 meters hyperventilating and wondering if I was going to die. What would you do differently?: More practice time in race conditions and a warm up swim before the race.  Transition 1
What would you do differently?: Maybe try and leave my shoes in the pedal. I put on my shoes in the transition area. I am not sure about this.  Bike
Comments: The bike is my best event, started biking about 6 years ago. I missed the pedal after the mount line and had to stop and take the time to get in the pedal. What would you do differently?: Maybe leave the shoes in the pedals coming out of T1. I would really like some pursuit bars Transition 2
Comments: I need to learn to leave my shoes in the pedals.  Run
Comments: I felt better than I thought I would off the bike. I really pushed it hard and my legs felt fine. I would like to have been faster. What would you do differently?: I need to work on speed work. Post race
Warm down: walked and played with my kids at the park. Ate fruit and pizza. What limited your ability to perform faster: training Last updated: 2004-06-16 12:00 AM

I had no routine, this was my first triathlon. I arrived early and was marked and then entered the transition area. I put on my headphones and listened to some light music to calm me down a bit. I racked my bike, layed out my stuff, and went through the race in my mind going over every piece of equipment. Then it was time to go.
No warm-up
