![]() Swim
Comments: I'm still not a good swimmer, but I beat last years swim time by 1 minute. I had a harder time of catching my breath this year. Maybe I was working a little harder. I couldn't find anyone to draft on. The swim was really spread out. A one point I thought I was the only one swimming. My arms seemed to have a hard time keeping a rhythm, they didn't move real fluent for some reason. Oh well, it was a decent swim for me. What would you do differently?: Swim harder to the first bouy ![]() Transition 1
Comments: I put on arm warmers this year because it was a little cold. That slowed my transition by 22 seconds over last year. All else was good. What would you do differently?: Suck it up and not where arm warmers. I didn't need them any way. ![]() Bike
Comments: The bike went ok. I was 30 seconds slower than last year. I felt like I was going harder but I couldn't keep my average up. What would you do differently?: More intervals on the bike, and a few times trials in the weeks before. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: I missed my bike rack by one spot. T1 was very clean other than that. Beat last years T1 by a minute. What would you do differently?: nothing ![]() Run
Comments: Felt good until mile 4. I had a little leg cramping. I don't think I drank enough on the bike, or the days before the race. It finally loosened up and I kept my pace. I beat last years run time by a minute and a half. That was good! What would you do differently?: Drink more the days before. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Walked aroun, ate free pasta and drank free Odells 90 schilling YUM! Walked into the water, talked to friends, watched the Pros. I got a High 5 from overall winner Nicole Deboom and Men's winner Conrad stolz. COOL! What limited your ability to perform faster: Not enough time to train for speed since my Ironman on June 27 Event comments: Great volunteers, well organized, everything was on time, cool band, and oh did I say FREE BEER!

Got up at 4 AM and ate two waffles, protein shake, yogurt, coffee. Drove to Boulder from Denver and arrived at 5:20. Set up transition in numbered area and scoped out bike, run entrances and exits.
Ran for 10 minutes with a few accelerations and went pee.
Rode bike for 10 minutes and went pee again.
Put on wetsuit with my body glide and pam spray on my legs and headed to the beach for a light swim warm up.
