 Swim
Comments: Good swim considering I've only swam 2x in 1 month. The beginning was really crowded w/ lots of wrestling. I stopped at the first bouy to get some clear water. I was getting worn out in the washing machine. After than, I ended up with a guy doing an angel style backstroke w/ arms simultaneous and wide hitting me in the head and pushing me backwards. there were several times I had to put on the afterburners to get around someone who didn't know what they were doing. sighting was great though. course was well marked. What would you do differently?: I need to train in open water. I was comfortable, but still not ready for a HIM w/ no wetsuit. What I don't understand is why my time was so slow. I did find my hips sinking a lot - again I think because of the open water/sighting. I was shooting for a 10 - 10.5 min swim.  Transition 1
Comments: Good transition. Had trouble running from the water to t-area. Other than that, it was good. What would you do differently?: Nothing.  Bike
Comments: Beautiful ride. Good road conditions. Happy with my speed, though still looking to break 20 in a race. First time I've been in the saddle in 3 weeks, so quite pleased. What would you do differently?: Not much. Obviously I should be training. Transition 2
Comments: I wish I could run w/out socks. Putting socks on makes me need to sit down. Otherwise, I could save time here. What would you do differently?: Nothing.  Run
Comments: Running is still my nemisis. I've got to run a lot more. My quads were cramping, forcing me to stop and stretch at the end of mile 1. I don't like my performance, but my PB on a run is 10:05/mile and that was after months of training. What would you do differently?: Get a motor scooter. Considering joining a running club. Post race
Warm down: Not much warmdown. What limited your ability to perform faster: I'm fat. I didn't train. Event comments: Great race and well organized. Sadly, a man lost his life in the swim. My wife and kids saw them pull him out of the water. This is a great race with a great, beautiful venue. Definitely a must do again if only for the fun.

| Subject: RE: CB&I Triathlon Hey good job on the race. I don't think they'll have a motor scooter division in next year's tri but it's worth investigating! I think I saw ya out there in the BT suit! If I wasn't so out of breath I would have said something to you! So when's the next race? Congrats again! |

Extreme Veteran 504 Tucson, AZ | Subject: RE: CB&I Triathlon Congratulations on a job well done. Maybe you should have worn your helmet while swimming. Sounds like it was more like a water based slug-fest. |

| Veteran 136 | Subject: RE: CB&I Triathlon Good race. To bad that I did not have more time to come over and say hello. I was one of those beating you up at the swim start. Sorry about that, but I could not find clear water until I made the turn at the first buoy. |

Expert 1083 The Woodlands, TX | Subject: RE: CB&I Triathlon Congratulations, great race! The swim was pretty brutal, I'm not sure why time was slower then I thought it was too. I think if you had motor scooter out there, I would have jumped on the back. Maybe that's why they aren't allowed? If you're looking to improve your running, I do track practices up here in the Woodlands on Tuesday evenings. My results have been absolutely incredible doing these. Let me know if you want more info. |

Melon Presser 52116 | Subject: RE: CB&I Triathlon Great job on the sighting, a super smooth bike, and putting it out there on the run. I know you're limited in training time, so you did really great and sounds like you had fun being out there, which really is the whole point. Congratulations! |

Woke up and had oatmeal w/ peanut butter. Tried a cup of coffee and it wasn't hitting the spot this morning. Drove to the race with the fam.
Set up t-area. Went for a short run then a short swim.
