Comments: Sub-8's! Are you kidding me? I am really excited to see that I can run sub-8's. Now, can I run that pace after swimming and biking? Guess that's a question for another time. BUT, it's cool to race at 7-something per mile. What would you do differently?: Maybe push a little faster. I didn't feel too bad at the end of the race. It's been so long since I've pushed at a race pace. I'll definitely have to start to push the tempo in my training a bit. Post race
Warm down: Does standing around in the rain count? What limited your ability to perform faster: 30 extra pounds. Not enough interval/ tempo training. Precipitation. Event comments: I feel like I got stood up on prom night...again. (kidding!) I got trained up, packed up, set up, psyched up and then...nothing. Just a >5k in the rain. Eeesh. There's another race in a couple of weeks, hopefully it will go better. Last updated: 2005-01-19 12:00 AM

Regular 71 Sugar Hill, GA | Subject: RE: Tri the Parks-- John Tanner State Park Way to go Hawkeye! The guy with the Timex Bodylink said it was 2.98 miles so your pace was even quicker. Good job, it's always good to make lemonade out of lemons. The thing that's so bad is that Tanner was your first and many others first tri experience and everything went wrong. Wish the weather had been like today's (Sunday). My next one may be Mistletoe on June 4th. |

Woke up at 3:30 am, had my slice of whole wheat with all natural PB and milk. Drove 2 hoiurs to JTSP. Registered and set up my transition area. Met John (JTee) who lent me a plastic bag to stave off the on-coming rain. Sought shelter from said rain. Huddled in a pavilion with 400+ people waiting to know if we were running in the rain. The lightning wouldn't stop, so the event was transformed into 4.6k (2.9 mi) race instead. What the heck? I was all dressed up, might as well get a run in.
Running around putting my gear away and hopping around waiting for the timing strips to get set up. That's about it.
