Swim
Comments: My AG was the next to the last, so my warmup didn't do me much good. What would you do differently?: I bought the TI DVD and two swimming books. I am going to work at improving my stroke. I swim on my stomach, so this is slowing me down. Transition 1
Comments: I wasted some time in T1 with getting feet dried and socks on. I am going to start practicing with a bucket to sit on and try this for the next ri. I forgot my Bike Computer and didn't realize this until I got to the start line. What would you do differently?: Have a list of things that need to be done for race day. Either working at speeding up drying feet off and putting on socks, or learning to ride/run sockless. Bike
Comments: Not having my bike computer for cadence and speed was not fun, but I averaged about the same speed as previous races, so I guess that it didn't make a huge difference in my effort What would you do differently?: I need to get my aerobars fitted for a slightly more comfortable position, so that I can stay aero for the entire ride. MAKE SURE THAT I HAVE MY BIKE COMPUTER. Transition 2
Comments: I have got this part down. Rack the bike. Helmet off. Shoes on. A swig of fluids. Then I am off What would you do differently?: nothing Run
Comments: I sucked at the run. I need to BRICK more often. Not necessarily for the physical ascpect, but the mental game. My mental game was not there on the run. I definitely could have ran faster, but for some reason, I didn't. I got passed by my new friend Kathy (Lynda) with about 3/4 miles before the finish. She gave me a little encouragement and then off she went. There was a guy that had been behind the entire run. He caught me with about a 200 yards to go. He started sprinting to the finish, so I started as well. We were elbow to elbow the entire sprint, but the people at the finish said he beat me by half a stride. What would you do differently?: BRICK. Train my mind. Post race
Warm down: Walked around. Water. What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of training the past 3 weeks. Lack of sleep. Mental toughness on the run. Event comments: It was really nice to meet and talk with Kathy (Lynda) and meet some of her family. She was really encouraging and great person to talk to. Great race Kathy! I am looking forward to RiverCities and meeting with her and all of the BTers that will be there for dinner on Saturday night. Last updated: 2005-06-29 12:00 AM

We had our company party the night before and I didn't get in the bed until ~midnight, so the 5:30 alarm was early for me.
I had a Clif Bar and some water.
Streches. Jogging. Couple of Laps in the pool
