![]() Swim
Comments: I had the worst swim yet. I cruised out to the buoy and felt great, but got caught up in a group after the buoy and used up all of my energy. There were some guys in front of me losing energy, so they were swimming erratically, but I couldn't get by them. After several attempts and getting pounded, I ended up exhausted and needed to change strokes for a little breather for awhile. What would you do differently?: Maybe find a way to get out of the pile-up at the buoy more quickly. Swing wider out? ![]() Transition 1
Comments: T times weren't clocked. I transitioned fine, but I opted to walk rather than run the bike after getting so demoralized in the swim. ![]() Bike
Comments: I felt fine on the bike leg, but I'm always comfortable on the bike. I think I did well on the climbs, but probably didn't push for as much speed as I could have on the flats. What would you do differently?: Attack the flats with a little more vigor. I'd love to get some aero bars. By observation, they did seem to make a difference in flat and downhill speed for those who had them. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: No issues ![]() Run
Comments: Yuck, it was an awful run for me. I had a side stitch the whole time and had trouble breathing. What would you do differently?: I would have used my inhaler before the event and maybe during the transition. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Ha. Warm down? Grinders and beer. What limited your ability to perform faster: Getting caught in a jam on the swim and not using my inhaler. Maybe better nutrition. Event comments: This is definitely a fun race series. I wasn't feeling my best during the race, but I still had a great time. Fun with friends, grinders, beer, catching a token from the prize table... Life is good. Last updated: 2006-07-15 12:00 AM

I probably didn't eat close enough to the event. Had a regular lunch and left from work to the event.
10 minute jog and a quick swim.
