 Run
Comments: Felt pretty good. I wanted to go faster but the wind scarred me especially for the bike so I held some back. What would you do differently?: This short of a race. Just go all out!  Transition 1
Comments: Transition was pretty smooth. I already had my socks on so just slip off the running shoes and slip on the cycling shoes. What would you do differently?: Nothing.  Bike
Comments: It started out pretty rough but once I settled in and got my legs back from the run I was able to hold 17mph into the wind. We made a turn to the west and behind some woods so I was able to pick it up to around 21mph. At the turn around we had a head wind again for about a mile but once we made the turn south, oh yeah baby pay dirt!!! I was able to avg over 27mph with spurts up to 29. I was nice to feel what the pros ride like even for a little while. What would you do differently?: Train harder in a bigger gear to simulate heavy wind. Post race
Warm down: After the run we had a 100 meter sprint to the finish. Hello cramps in the hamstrings. Pushed through it though. My transition from the run was only 56 seconds. I kept my cycling shoes on for the sprint. Ha Ha mtnbiking shoes paid off for once. It took me 30 seconds to run the 199 meters. I honestly did not think I was that fast. It seemed like forever! What limited your ability to perform faster: Training. Just need to keep training and doing speed work for the run and power and speed for the bike. Event comments: Free beer and food for the post race. Completely humbled at the awards cerimony. Found out a 56 year old man kicked my butt....Hey that is something to look forward to. 16 more years of good racing left. How can that be a bad thing. Right? Last updated: 2004-08-13 12:00 AM

Regular 75 Virginia Beach, VA | Subject: RE: Sandman I want to thank all the people of this site who always speak up to help. Out there on the course with the wind beating you down I was thinking that I was racing for a team and could not let the team down. I vow to improve even more for the next one. Thank you for your great support. No matter what challenge is ahead stick to your plan give at least 90% in each leg and you will have given well over 100% by the end with no regrets. Scott |
