What would you do differently?: draft and not allow the temperature of the water to ruin my stroke count and breathing pattern.  Transition 1
Comments: had trouble getting the wetsuit off and then i decided to put socks on. It did take me a long time to do this because it was my first time but i am happy with the outcome. It was very cold conditions and not conducive of a typical transition. What would you do differently?: get a routine laid out.  Bike
Comments: I did the best in this disciple out of them all, i carried over my thinking from last year...to stay with a pack and focus (on the event you are in). This helped and i batted one guy for the entire 18 miles; this seems to be my strong suit, when i have someone around it hightens my effort to allow me to "hang" at the end (about 2 miles left) I left him and then it was on to the run. What would you do differently?: NOT DROP MY WATER BOTTLE ON THE 10TH MILE!!!!! DRINK MORE AND HAVE A CAFFINE SUPPLEMENT Transition 2
Comments: transition went great!!! I was among the top in age group but needs work. What would you do differently?: get race belt on quicker.  Run
Comments: I did not focus, did not have legs under me and need to concentrate on moving up.I only let one person pass me as they were flying!! I stayed with a gent. who i later became friends with (he is doing St. Anthony's) BTW it was definetly not a 5k much less 3 miles. What would you do differently?: KICK!!!!! at the end!!!! Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: temperature and run length/ aneroobic threshold Profile Album Last updated: 2008-02-13 12:00 AM

Woke up late as it was a "spring forward" day and my cell phone acting as an alarm clock did not change time until my alarm went off!! Weird...i know. So i woke up an hour later than expected, gahtered my things and was off to the race while eating a banana, apple and a power bar while comsuming water and gatorade mix.
I went to the bike register, race number and then i set up my bike. At this point I put the ipod on and began a light jog around the finishing section of the course. About a mile warm up and then a stretch.
