 Swim
Comments: Swim time continues to kill me. My fitness is great, never even got out of breath but obviously my technique sucks. Oh well....I guess I need to suck it up and hire a swim coach.  Transition 1
Comments: Smoked both transitions, 2/20. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Bike
Comments: Kept the pace comfortable. Probably could have gone faster. Was only passed by 6 riders. All of which finish in the top 3 in some classification. I am pretty sure I can maintain that same effort for 56 at GC. What would you do differently?: Meh...nothing Transition 2
Comments: Flawless transition. My best ever. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Run
Comments: Run went well. Had to slow down for several minutes after mile 2 due to some major stomach pain (WTF?) I've never experienced. Picked it up after it passed. Definately not my fastest but I have no complaints. What would you do differently?: Run faster? Post race
Warm down: Walked for several minutes. Chatted with fellow AGer Tom M (finished 2nd). What limited your ability to perform faster: My swim technique, and a very conservative effort. Event comments: Overall I can't complain as this race was just a primer for Gulf Coast. My only goal was to work on mechanics and at least beat last years dismal finish. I accomplished both. Afterwards I wished I would have pushed more on the bike and the run as I am pretty confident I could have finished several minutes faster. Oh well. Congratulations to all of the NASMCers that podiumed (Kirk B. Greg C. and Rebecca C.) as well as Jonathon for his awesome finish!!! Last updated: 2008-03-02 12:00 AM

Master 1888 Winder, GA | Subject: RE: Tri the Parks - John Tanner State Park Nice work, David! I can't believe you got up in the middle of the night to drive to a race.  After that early start and racing I think I would have been ready for a nap by the time I got to the run! Great job, you're going to do awesome at GC! |

| Pro 3715 AZ | Subject: RE: Tri the Parks - John Tanner State Park Awesome job David!!! But I think the pains in your stomach was the eggs and bacon. Not really a great pre-race meal, if you ask me. Maybe post race, but not pre-race. But no like you WOULD ever ask me anything food related. haha!! You still had a smokin race!!! |

Woke at 3:00 am (Yuk). Ate 3 eggs and a little bacon glass of skim milk. Showered, loaded the bike, and left a 4:00 am for the 2 hr+ drive to the park. Had to stop and fill up for the second time this week $75.00 (Damn truck).
Arrived at 6:30. Racked my bike, picked up my chip, got marked and walked through my transition. Slow jogged 1 mile, then suited up and swam about 300 meters, and finally waited for my wave.
