Comments: most of the wave started to the far outside. Current was stronger out there, but it looked pretty crowded so I opted to start more towards the center to avoid the crowd. What would you do differently?: Not sure if the outside lanes were faster or not....who knows? I definitely hope I don't take another drink of the water for a while.  Transition 1
Comments: found my spot very easily because of tape mark at the end I put at the end of the row. I felt like I was pretty smooth and relaxed throughout. What would you do differently?: nothing really  Bike
Comments: felt good today. Cadence was good, and I raced at a comfortable pace. What would you do differently?: I miss judged the turnaround point at 52 street and let up a little too early. That was a big mistake in my opinion. I thought I was well ahead time wise of my actual place on the course. Trying to save something for the run, still didn't seem to help the run any. Transition 2
Comments: First time coming out of the shoes during the bike in a race. That is definitely the way to go. What would you do differently?: nothing  Run
Comments: Slow first couple of miles (8:42) I felt like my heart rate didn't go up too high, but the legs just weren't cooperating. Ran a little too conservatively I think, but didn't want to blow up either. The last two miles were high 7 minute mile pace, and I felt like I finally had something to offer for the race. I finished strong which was a goal. What would you do differently?: have got to get faster with some better training Post race
Warm down: not much, a little stretching , and some gatorade What limited your ability to perform faster: Sore back on the bike, and most definitely need to do more bricks and better run workouts. Event comments: Beautiful day, had a lot of fun, and had some great friends at the race to share it with. Hope to do it again. First Oly distance and loved it. Last updated: 2005-07-12 12:00 AM

Was a great race. I am thinking that I would like to do this one as my first oly next year. Big congrats (belated). Do you have anything else on tap for this year? |

Woke up 4:00 a.m. shower, coffee, baegel, bananna, 2 aspirin, multivitamins, anti ox, and allergy med. Sounds like a lot when you write it all down, but took it all 3 hours before race start, and felt great.
short run, and found a bathroom with no line and running water. Walked to swim start. Used bathroom again, and stretched out for about 15 minutes. sipped on some water and a little gatorade. Still felt good, and relaxed.
