![]() Swim
Comments: My swim went worse than I ever dreamt of. Between a bad set of nerves from being my first tri, to never getting warmed up, I was never comfortable in the water. I stopped at the Kayaks to get my head together and my shoulders warmed up, which ate up a lot of time. What would you do differently?: More practice and a wet suit. I have all winter to get ready for the swim and will have a wet suit next year if the water is ever this cold again. I got my first competitive swim out of the way and I know I will do better next time. I could easily cut 10 minutes from the swim on my next race. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Transition went well. I was so ready to get out of the water and on my bike you couldn't stop me. What would you do differently?: I am still using my mountain biking shoes so they had to be tied. ![]() Bike
Comments: With a lot of energy left from the bad swim I knew I had to make up time. Years of mountian biking have helped out and I feel I had a really good bike segment. I think I passed about 40 people, but many were women who started 3 minutes after me. I made up a lot of time on the up hills and was able to push it hard on the down hills. No one passed me on the bike which was a positive. What would you do differently?: I can use a water bottle that goes between my handle bars. The location of my water bottle is difficult to reach. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Good transition. What would you do differently?: not much. ![]() Run
Comments: I was a little stiff in the beginning after getting off the bike. After that the run went pretty well. I just about the half way point I passed my neighbor which fulfilled my goal of beating him. No one passed my on the run so I felt good. What would you do differently?: Need to stretch out on the last section of the bike to make the start of the run easier. Since I still had some energy left at the end I could have picked up the over all pace. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Burritos What limited your ability to perform faster: Nerves and lack of wetsuit on the swim. Event comments: Should have changed the couse do to the mud. However with all the events in town and the needed permits from the city I'm sure that is a problem. Practice Swimming, Practice Swimming, Practice Swimming. Last updated: 2004-09-02 12:00 AM

Got to the race in plenty of time. Set up transiotion area and stretched out.
Should have had a watch on. I didn't know the swim was going to start so soon and I could have used more time in the water pre-race.
