Comments: Took a very long time to get in pool. Race started at 7:15, I started at 8:20. What would you do differently?: I wish I had spent some time in a 50 meter pool. All my training was in a 25 yard pool, so this pool intimidating, but it went very well. Transition 1
Comments: I took too long in T1. I slipped and fell while running with bike to ride start, did not really hurt, but took a time to get back up and start again. My knee was bloody. What would you do differently?: I wish I had practised T1. Bike
Comments: I was very strong on the bike. I was not passed by anyone (OK, 1 guy passed me at 8.5 miles, but I passed him right back and stayed in front). What would you do differently?: I planned on riding 8.5 miles hard, then 1.5 with an easy spin to keep my running legs. So I slowed at 8.5 miles, thats when I got passed, so I picked it back up and raced all out with that guy till the end (I stayed in front). Transition 2
Comments: T2 was faster, slipped out of bike shoes and into running shoes. What would you do differently?: I should have left water bottle. Run
Comments: I ran a little slower than I wanted. I worked way too hard on the bike and did not save energy for run. I did have a VERY strong finish, I all out sprinted for about 200 meters at the end, passing 3 other racers, one right at the finish line, it was very close. That is the fastest I have ever run as an adult!!!! What would you do differently?: I should have kept to the plan on the bike and not let my ego get in the way. I was spent before the first mile of the run. I judge I should have suffered more on the run and done it faster. Post race
Warm down: no warm down What limited your ability to perform faster: The only limiting factor was me. I made the choice to finish instead if suffering and finishing faster. This was my first race, so I now have times to beat! Last updated: 2004-09-24 12:00 AM
