 Swim
Comments: The swim was great; I felt really good all the way and feel that Masters Swimming has given me with much more stamina, which is good overall. What would you do differently?: I'm going to work harder at Masters Swimming.  Transition 1
Comments: I had my shoes snapped in, but had a hard time getting my feet in. However, it seems my transition times were pretty good compared to the field. No socks = the way to go, for sure. What would you do differently?: Practice getting on the bike. No, really.  Bike
Comments: Bike was OK. I know I can do better. I think only 2 bikes passed me, so that felt good. What would you do differently?: Need to spend more time trying to kill hills. I carried 2 water bottles instead of one. Doh! Transition 2
Comments: I think this was a quick transition. I can't save much more time than this.  Run
Comments: Getting better, but still much to do! What would you do differently?: Keep on running. Post race
Warm down: Finally made it into the top 50% of any triathlon :-) Woohoo. It's only been 2 years and hundreds of hours of training to get to this point. One of the great things about going into year #3 and being fit is that my body does not feel as beat up as it used to after these races. What limited your ability to perform faster: Running is still the big problem. I think I should be able to do this race next year at a 8:45 or better pace. Event comments: Another great race from Max Performance. Well run, good people, thanks!! Last updated: 2011-03-13 12:00 AM

Master 1770  Bedford, MA | Subject: RE: New England Season Opener Sprint Triathlon Nice job out there! - conditions much better than last year! That swim definitely wasn't 1/4 mile - I used Map My Run, and you're right - around 1/3 of a mile. |

| Subject: RE: New England Season Opener Sprint Triathlon Nice work out there! Hooray for weather that was 100% better than last year's! Just wanted to comment that I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt the swim was a bit longer than 0.25 miles. I do also like this swim set up better than what they've tried in the past. (I don't post on BT often, but sometimes lurk in the MA forum) |

Extreme Veteran 335 Medway, MA | Subject: RE: New England Season Opener Sprint Triathlon Thanks everyone, I appreciate the nice comments. Mina, the straight line course was definitely better. Minimal congestion along the course, and it was much more fun to swim than navigating around a the 2 points of a triangle. The water was warmer than in previous years. I'll take it!! |

Got there bright and early, custom body marking by Mav :-). It was pretty chilly and looked like it could stay cold and possibly get wet. Dropped $75 on an awesome Saucony running jacket that I have needed for a while now.
For the first time ever, did a short warm up run. Did a bunch of stretching because I found out that it takes approx 500 yard for my swimming to come alive and was not keen on getting wet before the race.
