 Swim
Comments: Did the warm-up swim 2 weeks prior in 12:03. The course for that must have been quite a bit shorter. Compared that with some other peoples time from both, and all took about 2:00 longer for the Tri. What would you do differently?: Nothing. I kept away from the main group and had smooth sailing the whole swim.  Transition 1
Comments: Did the best I could do at T1. Would like to start practicing clipping the shoes on the bike already. Might cut some time off overall. What would you do differently?: Really needed to drink more fluids before heading out.  Bike
Comments: Really laid it all out on the swim and the bike, I was very pleased with this particular segment. What would you do differently?: HYDRATE. I didn't drink enough water during the bike. Only had Cytomax and felt like there was too much sugar. I felt it in my stomach causing me to feel bloated and uneasy. Transition 2
Comments: Took a little extra time here to catch my breath. Should have downed some water and maybe even stretched out for a few seconds. Began to feel pretty overheated here. Also, upon running with my bike, I pulled a muscle in my back and couldn't really run out of the transition area. What would you do differently?: HYDRATE. Should've had more water here.  Run
Comments: This was a struggle!!! Felt overheated and exhausted the entire run. I went all-out on the swim and bike, and just ran out of gas for the run. This race really exemplified how I need to alter my training routine. I've been focusing a lot more on swimming than running, and obviously judging by my times, it's time to put more time on the runs. What would you do differently?: During the race, I would have hydrated a bit more on the bike and at T2. Just immediately felt gassed on the run. Post race
Warm down: Walked around and caught my breath. Drank water. Stood under a shower tent...aaaaaahhhhh. Drank a Sierra Mist and had a couple of cookies. After about :20 minutes, I felt good. It took a lot longer to feel recovered after this race than any other I've done. What limited your ability to perform faster: Probably just running too little. I really am pleased with the swim, T1, bike and T2, when I get better at the running segment, I should be cutting major time off my totals. I am looking forward to the next challenge in Burlington, at the Mission Man. Event comments: Looking forward to taking this course on again next year. Last updated: 2005-04-21 12:00 AM
