Swim
Comments: I started out front and to the left side to avoid slow and fast swimmers. With in the first 100 yards a guy cut me off and hit my googles and down they came. This is the first time this has happened. The rest of the swim was good except I had to clear my googles 3 more times now that the seal was broken. I was still pretty well with the lead group so I was happy. One of my better swims. I actually got out of the water at 14:37. What would you do differently?: Swim over the guy that cut me off. Transition 1
Comments: I went very fast and to get off a wetsuit, whew, smoking. 2 guys were faster, they must have gone wetsuitless. What would you do differently?: Nothing Bike
Comments: Went out fast like I was time trailing. Passed a few faster swimmers. One guy passed me and I passed him back and he past me one more time and toook off. He had the fastest bike split. What would you do differently?: Nothing Transition 2
Comments: I couldn't get me damn feet in my shoes. I had the greatest T2 spot and my t1 was almost as fast. Almost cautgt the guy who passed me on the bike, I was 3 seconds behind him now. What would you do differently?: Get my damn shoes on! Run
Comments: The five guys ahead of me had faster run times. I caught about 3 people. One guy past me on the run. He was a 23 year old ITU Triathlete, so I didn;t feel too bad. I could not catch the guy who passed me on the bike, I watched him pull away and beat me by :45 seconds. I felt good. Mile 1 6:13, mile 2 6:23, last 1.1 7:02. No one was near me so I jog up the last hill. THis was a cool race because you could seee who was ahead of you the whole race! What would you do differently?: Nothing Post race
Warm down: Lots of free beer and snacks, massage (that sucked) Waited for awards. I was first in my agegroup so I got a cool wooden medal! What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing. Event comments: The timing was all screwed up by Westy Sports. I am glad I did my own timing today. My Swim and T! were the only ones that were correct. The bike course was way short, T@ time was non existent and my run said that I ran a 17:45. My watch said 19:38. I was happy to win my age group. I was really hoping to win the whole thing but there were 5 faster guys today. THe 1st place guy was 1:03! Last updated: 2005-06-22 12:00 AM

Woke up at 4:30 and ate some oatmeal and drank some coffee and drank a yogurt.
Rode my bike over to Cherry Creek rez to get my prime Transition spot that I scoped out the night before. I was the second one there and I got my spot. Walked the run course for a mile then came back, talked to a friend and ran a mile to warm up with some pick ups. I was feeling calm and fast today!
