 Swim
Comments: Once I got away from the group, the swim was fine...I picked a bad place to start-and spent probably 4-5 minutes trying to get out of the pack...the swim is my strongest link, but not in this race!!! What would you do differently?: start in the front row of the wave.  Transition 1
Comments: ok...dorkus move...ran out of transition, tried to get clipped in, realized my chain was off!!! Tried to fix it in a panic, fumbled with it, got it fixed, then went on my way! What would you do differently?: CHECK MY BIKE OVER BEFORE THE START OF THE RACE! DUH!  Bike
Comments: felt strong...my chain mistake cost me some time...my computer had me averaged at 19mph, so I must have lost some significant time. I also could've pushed it a bit more, but wasn't sure what I'd have left for the run. What would you do differently?: Maybe push a little harder. Transition 2
Comments: dont' have much to compare it to..just one race 1 1/2 years ago...my shorts were kind of hard to get on over my wet legs/suit... What would you do differently?: don't like my suit at all-I'm going to shop around for a 2 piece, so I don't have to mess with shorts.  Run
Comments: this was a pretty run, along the ocean, winding through the park...some sunny spots, but it was still not too hot (will do the same couse in the summer-egads-it will be hot then! I did negative splits on each mile, but I ran pretty conservatively. It took me a while to get my breathing regulated after the bike. What would you do differently?: For this race, maybe nothing...for future, I think I will push harder. And do more biking so I don't feel so winded after the bike. Post race
Warm down: grabbed some water and headed to the finish line to take chips for the remaining racers (it was a duathlon and olympic race as well) some stretching. What limited your ability to perform faster: I just tried to enjoy the race and not kill myself..also, I felt hungry at the start of the swim, so I should eat more. Event comments: The announcer was great at the finish line. The course was excellent. Loved the area. All in all a great race. Last updated: 2005-05-16 12:00 AM

Extreme Veteran 591  Miami, FL | Subject: RE: Tri Miami Great race Mimi! Good job hanging in there and sticking w/ it despite the chain issue, and the swim positioning. I'm sure I can learn a lot from your experience. You should be very proud. I was so happy you saw me, and not once but twice!!! I was happy to have been there to cheer you on! You looked strong, and sounded happy each time I saw you. Good for you girl! I wish I could've met and chatted w/ you... maybe next time. You were worth staying up until midnight making that darn sign. Again, congrats! |

| Master 2005 South Florida | Subject: RE: Tri Miami I just saw all the nice comments...thanks. The swim was in the Atlantic-along the shoreline. I thought this race was just great-other than that bridge. But hey, it just gave me more motivation to TRAIN HARDER/RACE SMARTER!!! Can't wait to go back there in the summer. |
