Swim
Comments: Started at the back of the wave.... started swimming about 15 seconds after the gun went ot let everyone get out in front of me. I thought I could get in my own groove and then start passing people. I didn't know how difficult it would be to work my way through the group. I swam comfortable and that is good. A little slower than I had hoped, but part is probably due to starting at the back of the wave. What would you do differently?: I would start at the front of the pack and let people pass me. Transition 1
Comments: This transition was much slower than planned. There was a slight climb coming out of the water and I was a little more winded than expected from the swim. What would you do differently?: Don't know. Practice more. Think about not using socks on shorter races. Bike
Comments: The bike went like expected. Only 4 people passed me! What would you do differently?: Slow down a bit to save energy for the run. Work on my fueling. Transition 2
Comments: Not a bad transition. A little tired from the bike. What would you do differently?: Don't know? Practice. Run
Comments: The run sucked! Plain and simple. My left hamstring started bothering me about a half mile into it. My legs were dead.... bike too hard! What would you do differently?: Do more bricks. Run more in training. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: The run Event comments: Good low-key event. Good place for first-timers and veterns. Last updated: 2004-08-17 12:00 AM

Up around 4:30. Drank one Boost Nutritional Drink and a small cup of coffee. Hydrate.... Get to the race site around 6:00 AM. Rack bike at 6:30... got to pick my own spot. Picked a spot in the middle of the in/out and racked bike on the end for easy access. Tried to relax....
About 30 minutes before the start, I do a very short swim... to get a feel of the water and to loosen up some. Also to calm the nerves.
