Swim
Comments: I agree with the others...If I do this race again, I'll start at the front of the wave. I ended up swimming with my head out of the water until the first bouy. So many people breast stroking. I finally got into rhythm half-way through the race. What would you do differently?: Start at front of wave Transition 1
Comments: Long distance to transition area. I ran most of it. Suit got a bit stuck at heels. Ingested second Gu before taking off. What would you do differently?: practice wetsuit exit more Bike
Comments: My hill work in Harvard, MA paid off. While I did need to go into the granny gear, I passed dozens of folks on the hills. I pushed myself really hard on the bike and it felt good! What would you do differently?: nothing Transition 2
Comments: Since I bike in my running shoes, there's not much to transition. I did need to tie a lace. What would you do differently?: Look into lace locks Run
Comments: Since the other two races I did this summer had 5 mile runs, I just ran hard for the 3 miles. Passed lots of people What would you do differently?: nothing Post race
Warm down: didn't stretch enough Event comments: Big race was well-organized by the Danskin folks and FIRM. Not sure I'll do it again, though Last updated: 2004-07-13 12:00 AM

Got up at 5. In the car by 5:20 with gear, liguids for race, a bagel with a shmear of peanut butter and much-needed coffee. Took about an hour to arrive at race site. Found parking on side street just up the road from the beach. Ingested some Gu about 20 minutes before my swim wave.
I swam around for about 10 minutes to loosen up
