Run
Comments: No splits or rankings, my estimate was that I was about 100th on this mile. Felt good, no ankle pain. I have been experimenting with tri running and Friday I really strained my right ankle so I was happy I didn't have pain on that quick of a mile. What would you do differently?: Run has been neglected lately. Transition 1
Comments: I kind of flubbed this one. Short transition so I didn't clip shoes on bike. When I was putting second shoe on the tongue got twisted and I had to take the shoe off and put it back on. It doesn't appear that it was that bad as I was only 5 seconds off the time from race 2 in the series. What would you do differently?: practice t1 and continue mental debate on shoes clipped on bike. Bike
Comments: No splits for ranking, but I rocked. I passed 68 people like they were standing still. No one challenged a pass and no one hung around. Based on the count on the run, I moved close to the top 20 after the bike. I am still getting compfortable with this bike, but I rode with alot more confidence and aggression than I have on this course the last 2 times. 1 minute 7 second improvement over same course in May. What would you do differently?: Nada Transition 2
Comments: 9 second improvement over last. Run
Comments: Took a while but alot of folks passed me. I wasn't thrilled with the run, but I haven't been running enough so it wasn't a surprise. The ankle held out pretty good with a little pain at the end. My wife and my nemesis both passed me with about 300 yards to go and my nemisis passed me in the last 25 yards. My wife won Master's female!!!! What would you do differently?: I should have been tougher at the finish, but I am okay with my run. I would change my age group to Under 18 and get a 3rd place trophy :)) Post race
Warm down: watched other buddies finish, then endurox, then beers withh buddies. What limited your ability to perform faster: Second run was weaker than I would have liked but thats my own fault. July will be a run focus month. Event comments: This was the final race of the yearly 3 race series. The distances are as follows: #1 3.1 run, 11.2 bike #2 2 mile run, 11.2 Bike, 2 mile run, #3 1 mile run, 11.2 mile bike, 3 mile run. Next year they are reversing the run in this race. The first segment just puts too many bikes close together and I heard the lead group drafted most of the way so the change is a good idea. This is a really fun series at a bargain rate. $20 with shirt, $10 without the shirt. They give full set of awards and they do it fast. Last updated: 2005-06-26 12:00 AM

Day before I did 25 with my wife. We didn't ride hard but both of us felt crappy and cut the ride from 35 down to 25. I went to the gym in the afternoon and did 20 minutes of cold water immersion on my lower body and that picked up my attitude. Woke up at 2:45AM to a loud thunderstorm and then waited for the alarm at 3:45. Drove over to Mississippi and got there too early so we drove the course which was a very good idea as it helped me pick my lines on the turn.
