 Swim
Comments: Swam to fast first 1:50 had to do some breast and side stroke then could not get HR down for rest of day What would you do differently?: Slow down or practice much more at the faster speed  Transition 1
Comments: This was a big mess.It was at leas a quarter mile from the swim finish to T1. First my bike has a noseless sadel so it did not rack well. When I go back it was on ground all my stuff was all over. I had lots of problems getting bike helmen on go fiquire. What would you do differently?: Need a way to rack bike may need a bunji cord or somthing  Bike

Comments: Again not to good lots of problem with wet socks. Need to come up with a new plan here.  Run
Comments: Man I was out of it legs were loke rocks jogged the first half walk through watter break then hit the soft sand could not get back to running. walk at least mile of the last 1.5 Very poor. What would you do differently?: Run Post race

Expert 725  Wilmington, NC | Subject: RE: Top Gun You finished despite a nasty cold! Great job. And you weren't last. Even if you were, you still beat all those people who didn't finish at all. AND think abou all the people who didn't even start! Enjoy the rest of the weekend and be proud of yourself!!! |

Wife, Mother, Friend. 2457 South | Subject: RE: Top Gun ah, the infamous sand run at any tri on Ft DeSoto. Fun, ain't it? Escape has stairs! Then Sand! Can you rack your bike by the handlebars? I"m gonna do a race there in a couple weeks. This one was too pricey for me. I always have fresh running socks to change into if I need to by the time I come into T2. Did ya have a great time?? |

Elite 3020 Bay Area, CA | Subject: RE: Top Gun You know in triathlons, you have to expect the odd challenge here and there. I think you're being much too hard on yourself, it was your first one, and it is totally understandable that things didn't go quite as smoothly as you planned them. On the bike, try racking it by the brake levers. On your training blog, REMOVE that You Suck picture, cause you SO don't!!! I think you did great! Probably faster than I could have done, that's for sure. And I don't suck, so... neither do you. |
