Swim
Comments: Ugh. The wave was so big that it was crowded and chaotic the entire swim. I was better at sighting this time, but my goggles completely fogged up at one point and I had to stop to clear them. I am trying to figure out why my swim times are so slow compared to my training. Its very frustrating. What would you do differently?: Start farther up or more to the side. Transition 1
Bike
Comments: Wow!! I am so happy with my bike. I can't believe I did that! I had a revelation the other day. Someone asked me what my strongest leg of triathlon was, and I had never thought about that before. I realized it was the bike and that just gave me such a mental boost. My feet hurt at the end. I think I maight have altered my form a bit due to my foot issue. What would you do differently?: Make sure my stupid aero bottle was on correctly. It wasn't so I was messing with it the entire time. Transition 2
Comments: Someone threw their bike in my spot, so it took me forever to rack my bike. I was pissed. Run
Comments: My first mile was 8:49, second went down to 9:20, 3rd was 9:33. I am going to blame most of this poor time on the sand, thank you very much. I felt strong, I kept my HR way up there. It's just hard in the sand. My foot didn't bother me much. What would you do differently?: Not much. I got my HR up into zone 4+ pretty quickly and held it there. I really felt like I left everything on the course this time which is a good accomplishment for me. I am usually not aggresive enough with myself and have too much left in me at the end. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Inability to perform to my ability in open water. Event comments: My foot has felt better since this race. I don't know why. These races are such a learning experience. I do them mostly for the gained knowledge that racing gives so I an kick butt when my next A race comes in August. Last updated: 2005-05-24 12:00 AM

Woke up at 4:15, had coffee, left for race and drank protein shake on the way.
Walking to the swim start. I developed plantar fasciitis on Monday and had not run for the rest of the week. It hurt walking to the beach.
