 Swim
Comments: Polar HR monitor broke again!!!! swam entire course guessing at time and pace. What would you do differently?: navigate better  Transition 1
Comments: Removed broken Polar and had a difficult time getting out of T1. Taped Gu shifted to side. I will tape tighter next time.  Bike
Transition 2
Comments: Shava Wava, Stihl and Mari were waving me on so I waved back and lost some concentration in this T. Asics were too tight with the speed laces and caused a tough start with numb feet. What would you do differently?: COncentrate more  Run
Comments: Started out with 2 cramps. Was able to work through them pretty well and managed to improve my food deficiency for the day. I shouda eaten more!!!! I shouda listen to Frank and had some Protien drink instead of relying on Carbs (gels) all day. I will improve. What would you do differently?: Prepare the shoes better for a easier donning and fit. Post race
Warm down: Ran across the finish line and hugged my wife and kids, gave Frank a hug and some Hi 5's and sat my fat ass down on the most awesome and peaceful park I have been at in a long time. Enjoyed the warm down with some drinks (H2O and Diet COke). What limited your ability to perform faster: 5 days of frikken rest, not enough food prior and during race, Event comments: Race #42 Excellent Volunteer staff, organization and post race activity. Had a few issues with the swim orientation, could have been better. I did not find out about 2 loops until 5 minutes from start. Also, rode in a bit of traffic. The roads were not "closed" and traffic was allowed to move. Police was at 2 intersections. Would have preferred a better bike course (away from the trail), a course MAP posted on the web site. Other than that, it was a GREAT Race. I will return with Frank and Fam next year. One final note, AGAIN, I would like to thank my bud Frank C for HELPING me get this far. Without his help, inspiration and company, I would SUCK even more. He is the reason why I have been able to do this Oly in just 15 weeks of being a triathlete. Cudos to you bro- Thanks for the good times!!! He also rocks for kicking ass!!! Profile Album Last updated: 2005-09-20 12:00 AM

Regular 67 Pinecrest | Subject: RE: Longleaf Triathlon 2005 Hi Jessica. I was talking to my bud about how we must communicate better amongst BTrs because I wonder how many friends we missed not knowing each other. Sorry I didn't get to meet you. I had a Litespeed Blade with yellow Mavic wheels. I was wearing a DeSoto trisuit white top/ black shorts. I placed 4 of 4 in the 39 and under class. I think you may have been wearing a black body suit- 1 piece? If that is so please confirm cause I remember the pig tails. I apologize that we were not able to meet. I think we crossed on the run path. My next race is Miamiman Oly in November. It will be my second Oly. Are you doing it? I know Sue, from BT will be doing the race also. Thanks for the message and I look forward to meeting you and talking to you again. Regards, Bill |

Woke up at 4:45AM and loaded last minute items into Franks Truck. Frank stopped me at Fukin Gonuts and had a cream rich coffee. Drove over to Longleaf and rode a 10 minute warm up on the bike (chilly)!!!
Nailed my first Hammergel at approx 6:00AM
10 minute ride with Frank down the famous "Starkey" road.
