![]() Swim
Comments: Felt good on the swim. Worked on pushing the pace more than normal to see what I could do. Had a bit of confidence after this weeks workouts. Just a little pushing and shoving early, but was able push back. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: I was in the first rack from the swim, so not a long run to my bike. ![]() Bike
Comments: Early on in the ride, legs felt a bit sluggish. They seemed to work themselves out after 3-4 miles. A few riders would pass close together and it would seem like no one would pass me for miles. Negative split the ride by about 1:00 thanks to a slight tail wind. What would you do differently?: Keep pushing, was about 1:10 faster in 2003. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Smooth controlled transition with little wasted effort. What would you do differently?: Should have grabbed a gel for the start of the run. ![]() Run
Comments: Best run I have had off the bike in several months. Pacing was consistent and about where I wanted to be on this race. What would you do differently?: If conditioning permits, push the pace a little more. In 2003 ran the course about :50 faster. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Fluids and food. Stayed on my feet walking to keep legs from stiffening on me. What limited your ability to perform faster: Need to lose between 10-15 lbs, and increase leg strength. Will allow to push a little harder on the bike and run. Event comments: Overall about 1:00 faster than 2003, but mostly due to the swim being shortened to correct length.

A little shorter on time than I usually like, but not too rushed. Would have like to have more fluid prior to the race start.
A few minutes on the water with some accelerations to loosen the arms.
