The swim went ok. My time was actually better then I thought I did. I had some difficulty maintaining the proper breathing. I did take it easy and was able to swim without getting to winded.

Not much I could have done different. Need to work on my swimming technique more.

The Transition was not timed - T1 time is added to the Bike time. I estimate about 2 1/2 minutes. My socks got stuck while putting them on - I think because of wet feet.... I was able to put on my jersy while running from the pool to the Bike.

Probably not wear socks, The weather was horrible - so I needed then for this event.

Very windy and rainy day. Seemed as though the wind was always in my face. there was a few streaches that I caught a tail wind - then I was flying..... It rained for the last half of the Bike course. not a major down pour, but enough to get you wet.

I think my areobars are set to short, I felt a little crampt in that position. I'll adjusted them and test it out this week.

The Transition was not timed - T2 time is added to the Run time. I estimate about 1 minute

went ok

The run was poor for me. As soon as I started running both of my calves started cramping up. It took about 1/2 mile before they stopped cramping, but I ran through it. The course had a lot of hills, I struggled with running up the hills. when I got to a flat area in the middle of the course, I was feeling pretty good. Took a wrong turn and had to double back about 1/4 mile. I lost some time here. the final mile, I started getting a side ache, not real bad though.

I felt I should have done better on the run, even with the Navigation error. I have to train more in hilly conditions. I wasn't used to this at all, and it got the best of me.

Ate some of the post race food. water, bagle, etc....
waited for my wife and daughter to find me, they were suppose to get a picture of me finishing, but were waiting at the wrong place.....


Teh weather was a factor, I woudl have biked much faster if teh winds were not as strong. The run was hilly and it took me by suprise.


We didn't stay for teh post race celebration. The weather was bad and my 3 yr old daughter had enough of the cold and rain - as did my wife.

One cool thing - Heather Gollnick was there - She is a Wisconsin Ironman Champion from 2002. She kicked ass on the course 1:01. Here is a bio on her
