![]() Swim
Comments: Good swim considering I've only swam 2x in 1 month. The beginning was really crowded w/ lots of wrestling. I stopped at the first bouy to get some clear water. I was getting worn out in the washing machine. After than, I ended up with a guy doing an angel style backstroke w/ arms simultaneous and wide hitting me in the head and pushing me backwards. there were several times I had to put on the afterburners to get around someone who didn't know what they were doing. sighting was great though. course was well marked. What would you do differently?: I need to train in open water. I was comfortable, but still not ready for a HIM w/ no wetsuit. What I don't understand is why my time was so slow. I did find my hips sinking a lot - again I think because of the open water/sighting. I was shooting for a 10 - 10.5 min swim. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Good transition. Had trouble running from the water to t-area. Other than that, it was good. What would you do differently?: Nothing. ![]() Bike
Comments: Beautiful ride. Good road conditions. Happy with my speed, though still looking to break 20 in a race. First time I've been in the saddle in 3 weeks, so quite pleased. What would you do differently?: Not much. Obviously I should be training. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: I wish I could run w/out socks. Putting socks on makes me need to sit down. Otherwise, I could save time here. What would you do differently?: Nothing. ![]() Run
Comments: Running is still my nemisis. I've got to run a lot more. My quads were cramping, forcing me to stop and stretch at the end of mile 1. I don't like my performance, but my PB on a run is 10:05/mile and that was after months of training. What would you do differently?: Get a motor scooter. Considering joining a running club. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Not much warmdown. What limited your ability to perform faster: I'm fat. I didn't train. Event comments: Great race and well organized. Sadly, a man lost his life in the swim. My wife and kids saw them pull him out of the water. This is a great race with a great, beautiful venue. Definitely a must do again if only for the fun. Last updated: 2008-05-04 12:00 AM

Woke up and had oatmeal w/ peanut butter. Tried a cup of coffee and it wasn't hitting the spot this morning. Drove to the race with the fam.
Set up t-area. Went for a short run then a short swim.
