![]() Swim
Comments: Long run from water to swim exit, long run up boat ramp across parking lot across street through another parking lot to T1 What would you do differently?: Look back coming into shore, got wiped out by crashing wave. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: good T1. Tired from running a frickin 5K to T1 What would you do differently?: Nothing ![]() Bike
Comments: Good bike although slower than last year. It was my first time racing Clydesdale. Starting in the last wave of men was different. On my first loop of the bike I looked at the men behind me and realized for the first time that everybody behind me is someone I was beating. A lot of pressure, but good pressure. What would you do differently?: Not much, I felt like I was moving pretty good, but my time dosen't reflect it. If anything I think I would do shorter practice rides at a faster pace than my slow long rides. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Good T2 one of the volunteers said "wow that is a fast transition!" What would you do differently?: nothing ![]() Run
Comments: Usually I know that by the time the run starts the winners of my age group have already finished. This time I knew there were a lot of people still on the course and I should be right behind the leader. I started out a little tight and I wanted to go into my casual run pace, but kept thinking about the people behind me. What would you do differently?: Stay mentally focused the whole run. ![]() Post race
Warm down: walked to pizza booth. walked back to run course to cheer in DHyte. What limited your ability to perform faster: Big Fat Belly Event comments: I was watching the legs of people checking out the age group of the people passing me. I didn't see any clydes passing me until the very end. I thought I would finish in the top 7-8. I saw the standings and I was 11th out of 11. I was a little bummed because I didn't know how many Clydes there were. It was a weird feeling for me because I was a little slower than last year and I thought I wouldn't be last in my AG, but I felt this was my best race up to this point. I wanted to be happy because it was a good race but it was weird being last in my AG. When I got back to my bike I was talking to some guys who were doing their first tri in borrowed bikes and that was cool but again I thought I finished after them. After talking to them I realized they finished after me and that the standings weren't updated yet. I am still feeling weird about this race because I usually am just happy participating in races and this one I was actually racing in it. I am still a little ashamed of being bummed about thinking I was last in my AG even though it was a good race. Last updated: 2004-08-02 12:00 AM
