Swim
Comments: The swim went well. I started outside to the left and stayed out of traffic. I didn't look to draft. I felt confident the whole way. What would you do differently?: Nothing? Maybe push a bit more in the middle stretch, but I'm happy with the swim. The time includes the run up the hill back to transition. Actual time in the water was 13:41. Transition 1
Comments: 5/13. Took off the wetsuit at the edge of the lake. This works so well that I'll continue to do it. What would you do differently?: It easy to say I'd run up the hill now, but it didn't seem possible or worthwhile at the time. Bike
Comments: The HR data suggests I rode hard, and it felt good and hard at the time. I'm happy with the speed and the result. What would you do differently?: The only thing that makes me think I could have gone faster is the lack of utter soreness in my legs on Monday. My slow first mile running suggests I pushed just fine. Transition 2
Comments: 3/13. My transitions are getting solid. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Run
Comments: The first mile was 8:06, and I definitely picked it up after that. I'm trying to push into the pain cave more, and I felt questionable the last mile. I was able to hold off some footsteps back there for the last half mile through the finish line. What would you do differently?: Pick up the pace in mile 1. Post race
Warm down: No stretching, just a lot of waking around and hanging out with the team. I did job a bit to transition before taking a quick dip in the lake. What limited your ability to perform faster: The wet roads lead to slower cornering. I'm pretty happy with all aspects of the race. Event comments: The only reason it wasn't on time was that thunder and lightning delayed things one hour. They also condensed the Olympic distance into the Sprint. This is a great race. It's small, friendly, fun, and flat. Last updated: 2010-06-22 12:00 AM
