Swim
Comments: Overall not a bad swim for me...I started out with a good breathing pattern that I had previously practiced with then quickly reverted to my old slower pattern. Still its a 2 minute improvement from my last swim. The hardest part was getting out of the water onto a floating platform...it actually took 2 attempts. Then there was a climb from the water to T1 that amounted to a cliff...that sucked too. What would you do differently?: Practice more OW swimming. As long as I don't get freaked out...I think I could get under 35 Transition 1
Comments: This time has to be wrong...but didn't go to badly. Bike
Comments: Wasn't ready for this...plain and simple. Got crushed early and never recovered. Had to walk bike up some hills. What would you do differently?: Obviously train more....this course was a little too hard after less than 1 year of riding. Transition 2
Run
Comments: Terrible run. In T2 someone said told me its a flat course. For the most part this is true...except that mile 4 was a pretty big hill...all of mile 4. This is if I remember correctly...I was kind of delerious from the heat at this point. Felt bad about how poorly I did on the bike but even worse about the run. It seemed every time I got a good pace going I would crash shortly after. What would you do differently?: I thought I had trained more for this run than the St. Anthony's, but I did significantly worse. Gotta keep training. Post race
Event comments: I thought it was a good race...just that I didn't run a good race. A bunch of factors could have attributed to my poor performance but I think I need to take lessons from this. I will just have to work harder the next time and keep at it. Last updated: 2005-06-27 12:00 AM

Woke up around 4AM drove to Morgantown. Had coffee and a powerbar in the car.
Swam around a little bit...cut my toe on a rock...bled profusely for about 5 minutes, coagulated...then got ready to race.
