salt water =uck. there was a few times i got some good gulps of salt water and yeah messed my pace up on the swim.

spend more time doing open water swims.

T1 Was overall real good i got everything on nicely and lace my shoes up

the only thing i might do different is to invest in a set of yanks so i don't have to worry about tying my shoes

out and back course. with a beautiful ride next to the ocean. i started out flying and catching up to people in my age group but couldn't sustain the pace all the way throught. as i bonk with about a mile left on the bike.

do more race pace rides alot of my training rides are commuting rides and generally not as hard as they should be.

spent way too much time in T2 considering i didn't have to switch shoes. I fumble with trying to take the garmin off the bike to bring with me on the run and wasted valuable time till i finally just said forget it.

find a way to transfer the garmin better from the bike to the run with me.

the run suck my legs were dead from the bike and i had a hard time just being able to jog it.

do more brick workouts. to train my body to make the switch better.

a jog around the block and grab a bannana and strech out.


i had stomach cramps throughtout not sure if it was butterflies or just the fact that i had mcdonalds for breakfast. i think it was also cause i filled myself at dinner the night before carb loading.


Grass roots triathlon. the Race officals use a stopwatch for all the timing no champion chips, no big clock at the finish line. the results were posted immenditaly which is kinda a bummer. all in all it was still a very enjoyable triathlon and show that i defintaly need to step it up before xterra.
