![]() Swim
Comments: I know I could have done better. I was afraid of going too hard and not having anything left. What would you do differently?: Swim like I know I can. Practice open-water navigation. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Always have trouble getting arms out of wetsuit, trying to do that and walk to t1. I hate going barefoot, took time to put on socks. Regular cycling shoes with ratchet strap, takes more time to get into. What would you do differently?: Run to T1, then mess with wetsuit??? practice this transition more. ![]() Bike
Comments: Just not fast enough What would you do differently?: need to learn to ride faster / harder ![]() Transition 2
Comments: this one went well, I thought. Again, the ratchet strap cyclin shoes take a little more time than tri shoes to get off. What would you do differently?: I was happy with it, maybe learn to pull running shoes on while standing. ![]() Run
Comments: would have liked a little more water on the run. I did better than I thought I would. This was probably the best part of my race. I think it is because I knew that when it was done, it was all done. I could go as hard as I wanted (not very hard in my case) and not worry about burning out. What would you do differently?: be more careful when pooring water on head to cool down. When you poor too far back, it goes down the back and straight to your shoes. Wet shoes really suck. ![]() Post race
Warm down: ???????????????????? What limited your ability to perform faster: Bike wreck causing shoulder injury 2 months earlier. Just started training again 1 month ago. I had to change my goal from having a decent time to just finishing. Last updated: 2004-06-29 12:00 AM

Was not in race mode, ate very bad pre-race dinner (nachos, beer, ice cream). Felt sick in the morning (no wonder, how stupid can I be?). Ate a bagel with cream cheese, made numerous trips to the bathroom.
Did a short warm-up swim, almost decided not to do the race. My heart just wasn't in it. Loaned extra pair of goggles to friend when the waves ripped his off.
