![]() Swim
Comments: This was a good swim today. I was feeling a little bummed after my swim at Mach Tenn, but this swim reminded me that I'm a good swimmer and only stunk it up so bad at Mach Tenn because I was in the very small minority not in a wetsuit. I passed Tardy in the water today (since he started Elite). I yelled at him and he popped his head up and said "you Jackass!" ![]() Transition 1
![]() Bike
Comments: As usual tons of bikes were flying past me today. It got worse at about mile 11 when my brand new chain started skipping gears under any torque at all. I had to ride the final 13 miles in my small chain ring. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Some jerk racked his bike on top of my transition so I couldn't find my stuff. I tossed his bike on the ground. ![]() Run
Comments: Very hot...I bonked. I run/walked most of the course. Mile 1 and 2 were decent at 7:30s, but were already behind my usual 7's for an Oly run. At mile 3 I was forced to walk by the heat. It went that way for the rest of the run. I'd run half a mile or so, then my stomach would get quesy and I'd have to stop and walk again. ![]() Post race
Warm down: beer Event comments: Great race! Next year I won't have a sinus/upper respiratory infection, hopefully. :) Last updated: 2006-07-17 12:00 AM

TriTardy and I got there in plenty of time. I expected to find a water jug to fill up my bottles, but there weren't any. I finally found some bottled water at the last minute for my bike bottles. I hopped on the shuttle and hung with Tardy, Bruce, and Drew until the start.
