 Swim
Comments: First OW Swim. Practically choked myself in the first 200-300 yards. Swimming OW is not what I thought it was. But the good news is I really hit my stride after the turn-around. Fortunately I wasn't sucking much wind, controlled myself very well in terms of relaxing and just stroking. What would you do differently?: Navigate better. OMG, I must have swam in zigzags. I have to sight much better and prep much better for the swim segment. My time was ok but really have to be smarter with how I handle the swim segment.  Transition 1
 Bike
Comments: Awful. Had a flat in the first 200 yards of the bike and no kit. First time I decided not to bring a kit/tubes/co2 and this is what happens. Up to now, never had a flat or any tire problems and BAM. A HUGE FLAT on the back half of my bike. My rear tire is having problems remaining in control of the road and it gives out every once in a while. I stopped for about 5-10 minutes to ask the police if there was any mechanical assistance. THey said to go to halfway point and maybe they could help. I get to turnaround, they tell me i have to have my own equipment... So I plod the 13 miles with a flat tire... frustrating but NOW I KNOW!! It's a shame, because the rolling hills played to my strengths What would you do differently?: BRING A DAMN KIT Transition 2
 Run
Comments: Ran ok. Not really in great mood but clocked aorund 7 min/mile after the bike nightmare. I barely did any hydration though for this race and need to improve on that What would you do differently?: Work on hydrating. Keeping my cool a bit better. 7 min time was ok. Transition was ok as well, knocekd over the racks basically... Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: The bike. Mechanicall issues Event comments: Fun race. Well organized and incredibly well executed! Last updated: 2005-06-05 12:00 AM

Expert 936  Westchester County NY | Subject: RE: Pawling Triathlon Bummer about the bike ride. Funny thing was right before I went down for the swim, I actually took my stuff off my bike. I figured if I got a flat it would take me as long to change the flat as it would for me to complete the bike course. It looks like the rest of your race was solid. I'm so anal I actually keep my own splits so that I can see all my event times without T1 and T2 in there. 23 minutes on the run counting T2 is quite impressive, esepcially since the racks for the two early waves were far from the run exit. I didn't know know there was another BT'er at Pawling. |

Chill, relax. Eat. Ate a lot to be honest. But if i'm hungry, I eat.
Some dipping in the water. At first i went in without wetsuit, but then figured I might as well try out my wetsuit!
