Swim
Comments: Chris loaned me a pair of clear goggles. This made sighting much better. Also a tremendous help was the swim workout with Chris and Cindy a week earlier. Wave start was crowded and the route got really crowded when the 1/2 IM and sprint groups all met up close to the exit. Transition 1
Comments: Bike exit was crowded as well, plus a sharp left turn out of transition made the exit a bottle neck of bikes. What would you do differently?: Work on faster transition times. Bike
Comments: Riding the route ahead of time was a big help. Several turns and hills would have been very difficult if not planned for ahead of time. Overall, I like the route and would do it again as a regular training ride. Transition 2
Comments: Couldn't find my transition spot!!! I brought the wrong color towel. It was dark while setting up so I didn't think to check which one I brought. What would you do differently?: bring a brightly colored towel. Run
Comments: Walked part way up one of the first hills and one small hill on the return. What would you do differently?: Not much other than train on hills more often. Post race
Warm down: jump back in the lake. What limited your ability to perform faster: Too slow in transition. Swim harder, run faster. Event comments: Pre-race registration was very slow, long line to one desk to pick up race packet. Course talk was in a crowded room with no PA system. Race day was much of the same; crowded, many running late, race directors without a working PA system. 1/2 IM start had to be called back and re-started. Other than that, the bike course was well suited for me, the run was a major challenge. I plan on being back next year. Last updated: 2004-09-14 12:00 AM
