Swim
Comments: Decent swim considering the conditions. Again, I wish I maintained most of my form but it was tough. What would you do differently?: More ocean/open water swimming! Transition 1
Comments: Did not get my splits from the timekeepers and forgot to split my watch too. Faster T-1 vs. my first race though! What would you do differently?: Race in a top I can wear with all 3 portions of the race as putting on a shirt wastes valuable time. I will not wear cycling gloves anymore in sprints either! Bike
Comments: Decent bike leg considering the conditions. I need to work on my time trials and will invest in pedals and cycling shoes for next season! What would you do differently?: Not much except for practice time trials (fast, short rides). Transition 2
Comments: Unfortunately it was wet and I could not get my left foot out of the clip so I experienced my first bout with road rash at the completion of the bike! (There are 2 kinds of cyclist.....one who has crashed and one who will) I ate it and bounced right up without missing a beat. What would you do differently?: Invest in cycling shoes/pedals. Run
Comments: I started with a side stitch and it finally went away at the turn. I think I started breathing "correctly" once I calmed down. What would you do differently?: More bricks, bricks, bricks!!!! Post race
Warm down: Walked for a few minutes, stretched and drank water. What limited your ability to perform faster: Not enough short sprints on the bike and, of course, bricks. Event comments: Not very well orgainized but a fun way to end the season. Don't know if I will do it again unless I am in Florida on vacation. Last updated: 2004-07-27 12:00 AM

Chatted with fellow tri-heads including Motivated (Karl) and Cavu9 (Lane). Set up my T- area and tried to stay dry! (Ate 1 bowl of oatmeal and green tea 2 hours prior to warm up)
Ate my chocolate Power gel 45 minutes prior to the start. Ran for 4-5 minutes and stretched. Undressed and headed for a quick swim in the ocean.
