I decided to go all out in this race, and really attack the swim. The water was shallow, and a lot of people walked a good part of the first leg of the swim, which was annoying. The first 50 yards was pretty crazy, with kicking and splashing, but by the first bouy I had pulled away from the big part of the group, and was within the top 5-10 coming out of the water. It was supposed to be a full quarter mile, but it was definitely short, as my fastest time for a 400 in a pool has been about 6:10, and there is no way I went that much faster in the lake.

I'm not sure. My arms started to feel heavy about half way through, probably because of the temperature, and sprinting. Maybe a warmup swim would have been a good idea to get my arms ready. Otherwise it went really well.

My feet were all sandy, which took too long to clean off. Otherwise it was good.

The bike was at the end of the race, and felt really good. I passed a lot of people, some of which I recognized as having passed me during the run, which felt really good! the hill at the end was rough, but i maintained my speed pretty well.

More hill work, so I can fly up them like Lance!

adjust toe clips beforehand! I got on and started riding only to find that my clip was wrapped around the pedal, and I had to stop to fix it.

I had gone all out in the swim, so I was tired going into the run, and also full of water! I kept burping throughout, and my stomach was pretty upset in general, so the run wasn't that great.

train more. I could go much faster, but it is going to take some hard work.

walking for a few minutes, some streching.


my own lack of training


A good race for a good cause.
