Swim
Comments: Was a good swim. I gave the wrong swim time. I gave an 8 min time, should have been around 6.5 min. I passed 7 others in the pool. What would you do differently?: I wish I had given the correct time. I lost about 30 sec or more at the walls while making a pass. Transition 1
Comments: I had to sit down to put my socks on my wet feet. My shirt also stuck to my back. T1 was too slow. What would you do differently?: Swim with shirt on. Bike
Comments: Bike was very good. I had good speed and felt great. The turn around came up quik and I skidded my rear wheel to make a u-turn in the street. What would you do differently?: Even though I had a good bike race, I want to hammer faster on the bike and still have energy left for the run. Transition 2
Comments: When I got to T1, my rack was empty. I was the first bike back (at least on my rack)!! What would you do differently?: I almst whipped out trying to do a ridding dismount. Need to practice. Run
Comments: I never seem to be able to run at a normal speed. I practice my bricks often (sometimes twice a week) and the brick distance is always longer than a race. I never get good race speed. What would you do differently?: Run faster! Post race
Warm down: As soon as T1 opened, Michael and I got our bikes and drove to a rest stop at the Katy Flatlands charity ride. We rode a fast 20 or so miles in a driving rain. What limited your ability to perform faster: I really need to work on going faster. I can run faster than this and will keep trying. Event comments: This was an uneventful race. Nothing stood out. I was able to perform well. I think I had Katy Flatlands on my mind. Maybe I was thinking I needed to save energy for it. Over all it was a very good race. Last updated: 2005-07-19 12:00 AM

Got up early, about 4:30am. Had breakfast (a bagel) with my wife. I also drank a 2 oz shot of wheatgrass juice. Packed up and also helped her get ready for Katy Flatlands.
Jogged about 1/2 mile, swam a few laps. No bike warm up.
