Swim
Comments: swam with singlet pushed down and it felt ok.planned to go out easy and build on pace.did this and brought it home feeling strong.some pushing and shoving but hey its a tri not a bath What would you do differently?: nothing,just need to build swim base then i will have a bit more to give next time Transition 1
Comments: pulled up singlet on exit,no worries.ran easy to bike,put on race belt,sunnies and helmet.no problems.jumped onto bike and rode a little before putting feet into shoes. What would you do differently?: nothing Bike
Comments: paced this just right for the first 3 laps and eased off a little on the last ready for run.sipped some water on the way.computer said i averaged 33km/hr What would you do differently?: happy with that Transition 2
Comments: took feet out early and jumped off running.spotted rack well with wife waving her arms and pointing.had a little trouble racking the bike What would you do differently?: nothing Run
Comments: by the time i finished the bike the sun was blazing down and the heat off the road was damn hot.i started off well with a quick cadence and took some water in and over my head to cool down.first lap wasnt too good but felt better on the last lap. What would you do differently?: couldnt keep cool in the heat.a hat may or may not have helped.extra fluid? Post race
Warm down: plenty of water and watermelon,oranges etc.some walking then jumped back into canal to cool down.felt great! What limited your ability to perform faster: lack of running and overall fitness. Event comments: happy to finish a longer course.just need to keep improving on the run and have to put in a lot more km's if im to do an olympic tri distance Last updated: 2007-01-21 12:00 AM
