 Swim
Comments: Started in middle of pack. That worked fine. Swimming into sun was a bit of a challenge on the way out, but not too much of a problem. Water tasted delightful, and I drank a lot of it. What would you do differently?: Might make sense to look into a sleeveless wetsuit.  Transition 1
Comments: Thankfully it was pretty easy to find the bike in transition.  Bike
Comments: Felt surprisingly good on the bike. This was a good pace for me. Passed a lot of folks and moved up in the waves pretty well. Transition 2
Comments: At this point just a bit confused and kept thinking I was forgetting something. Odd, because I really didn't need to pack a suitcase for the run, or anything. What would you do differently?: Stop worrying, start running.  Run
Comments: This bad boy was cooking. It was thankfully a short run, but nobody was laughing.... What would you do differently?: I would have run faster. I think that I still had something in the tank. Post race
Warm down: Drank a bottle of water and wandered around aimlessly. What limited your ability to perform faster: Unsure of course. Inexperience. Event comments: Frankly, Barry puts on an amazing race. This event sells out at around 1,200 participants, and it's not too big of a surprise because it's so well run. Plenty of cheerful volunteers. Course very clearly marked. This is really how they should all be run! It's really a great experience. Last updated: 2005-12-31 12:00 AM

Extreme Veteran 343  Centennial, CO | Subject: RE: 5430 Sprint Triathlon Talk to me about the ensure. My wife started drinking them when she was pregnant - I guess they're loaded w/ all kinds o' vitamins and stuff - and she still keeps them in the 'fridge from time to time. What kind (adult, kid, pregnancy....), flavor preference, etc? Are they "agreeable" w/ you system? Never thought of these, but I guess it makes sense. Do tell, please. |

Extreme Veteran 455 Centennial, CO | Subject: RE: 5430 Sprint Triathlon Nice race!!! There were a lot of BT'ers up there doing this one today - wish I could have been one of them. I enjoyed reading your report - Your transitions WILL get faster with this tri under your belt. I just wish I could swim/bike/run half as fast as you.

Master 1873 Colorado | Subject: RE: 5430 Sprint Triathlon Nice race!! We probably crossed paths somewhere on that damned run - damnation run, or dam run - however you want to look at it, but you're right, it was pretty dang hot out there! But it looks like you pushed through it pretty well |

Expert 683 Denver | Subject: RE: 5430 Sprint Triathlon Nice race yesterday! On my way in from the run I was thinking about the heat and how I was glad I was in the 2nd wave since it was gonna be a burner for the late waves! Looks like you still had a good time though. |

Special K for breakfast, loaded Jeep and headed for Boulder. Had to hang around at start for wave to depart (25 minutes after start). Fired up some Argentinian M&M's, a bottle of Ensure, and half a sugar free Red Bull. Yum.
Very short little warm-up swim. Stood around on a little dock talking with folks whose nerves seemed pretty high.
