Comments: they had a prerace meeting that went too long so the horn went off just as I was getting into the water. I dove in and the shock of that cold water took my breath away for a minute. Was that went away I felt like I got into a rythm pretty quickly. This was by far the most comfortable I've felt in the open water. I wasn't sure of myself for this distance, so I took it really easy, probably too easy. What would you do differently?: get in the water sooner, and get acclimated to the temp. Know my pacing Transition 1
Comments: not too bad, I took a little extra time to make sure I did everything right. What would you do differently?: be a little more confident with the moves Bike
Comments: I was pretty happy with the bike. I really tried to just take it easy a pace the course and not the competitors. Again my lower back got extremely tight about 45 minutes into it, and was certainly a factor in not only the bike time, but the run as well. Probably the single biggest thing I must fix in the off season. What would you do differently?: Not too much really Transition 2
Comments: pretty smooth, took some endurolytes and got a drink which I will do on the bike next time. What would you do differently?: see above Run
Comments: My downfall again. On the flat parts of the course, I felt like I got in a pretty nice pace, but as soon as I hit the hills, my knees started to ache and the quads were sore. The pain I could deal with but the legs just didn't have the strength. What would you do differently?: become a stronger runner Post race
Warm down: ate a recovery bar, drank some warm gatorade, then jumped in the lake for about 30 minutes. What limited your ability to perform faster: First half iron, so there were a lot of unknowns.I was happy with everything but the run, and that wasn't so bad or different from the training that I had done. Event comments: the had a few glitches, but overall it was a great day. The whole TANYC group that was out there were fantastic. I had a very good time from the training time to the finish line. What an experience. Last updated: 2005-10-06 12:00 AM

woke @ 4:30 Ate a banana, yogurt, bagel. Found a flat front tire on the bike right before I left, so I went ahead and changed it out.
didn't do to much of a warm up other than stretch and get my shit together. Went over nutrition and pacing stategy and tried to run the race in my head.
