Started back behind everyone so I wouldn't get run over. I found this the wrong spot to start from. I got caught behind a bunch of slow people. I managed to get past them just before I had to round the bouy. I had trouble breathing after that. I usually breath ever 3 to 5 strokes in the pool. In the race I found that breathing ever 3 strokes was not enough. Maybe I need more OWS in the wetsuit to get used to it??? Trout lake.

Start about middle of pack. More base.

My legs were wiped after the swim.

Uhhh... I didn't think the transition was so bad.
Next time consume a GU in transition.

took my legs some time to recover from the swim. I didn't know what was going on but I was working hard on the bike. I thought that maybe I had a flat. I stood up and tried to really get on it, then I heard my front brake rubbing a lot. I stopped and adjusted it by hand and then it went a lot better. I passed up about 5 or 6 people after that so I felt great.

Damn that big hill at the end. I walked part of it and 4 people that I had passes went back past me.

Need more brick swim-bike. More base.

Looks like I had the longest T2 in my age group. Fooey!

Uhhh???

took it too easy. I should have completely let loose. My legs didn't feel up to it on the start though. I walked about 30 seconds on the dirt road too. I took off my shirt and said "no walking" and started running again. Got a decent kick at the end but I wasn't completely spent at the end so I slacked.

more base, go all out till I drop.

get food and drink. Get my picture taking by the wife.


need more base.


I'll be back!!!
I needed a kick in the arse and I got it today.
Next year I'm going to kick this race in the Bootay!
