![]() Swim
Comments: This was one of the worst swims I've had in a long time. I got tangled up with a couple of guys around the first buoy, and I got frustrated and flustered. I tried to put my head down and go around them and ended up getting about 50 yards or more off course. I had to swim back to final turn buoy to avoid a penalty. To top it off I got off course again on the way to shore. To say I navigated poorly is an understatement!! What would you do differently?: stay calm, practice navigation in open water. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: After the swim I was really frustrated with myself. Instead of putting things aside I sadly focused on what I had just done poorly and let it get to me. My heart rate felt a little high. What would you do differently?: Focus on the race left instead of worring about what just happened. ![]() Bike
Comments: I started the bike kind of flustered from the swim with a higher heart rate than I would have liked to have had. There were enough rolling hills to kind of zap some of my MOJO. About half way into the ride I felt like I got back on track. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: The transition was uneventful. What would you do differently?: go faster ![]() Run
Comments: Sweet lord there was one muther of a hill at the turn around point that sucked every last bit of go juice from me. Prior to the hill I kept wondering why the people that were coming towards me had such painful looks on their faces. Boy did I find out!! After the big hill at the turn around I rand down the hill and up several other rolling hills to the finish. What would you do differently?: run faster ![]() Post race
Warm down: laid on the ground, drank some water, drank a diet coke, ate an orange and a firehouse sub. What limited your ability to perform faster: I had a hard traing week, but I allowed my race to go in the bucket from the beginning. Event comments: NEED MORE PORT-A-POTTIES!!!

Got up at the butt crack of dawn and drove about an hour to the race site.
Does squeezing my anal sphincter together while standing in line for one of three port-a-potties count as a warm up?
