 Swim
Comments: The first 250 of this swim really sucked. The cold water just completely took my breath away. It took about 3 or 4 minutes to gain some composure and start swimming. After I got used to it, it went completely fine. My face, hands, and feet went numb and I started feeling good. What would you do differently?: Man I wish I would've gotten in the water before the race. Had I done that I would have pulled a huge chunk of time off this. Other than that I'm ok with it.  Transition 1
Comments: Transition was fine. Had a hard time finding my zipper cuz my hands were numb, but over fairly quick for wearing a full suit. What would you do differently?: Not much I can think for right now. It will get quicker as the season progresses.  Bike
Comments: This course is super flat and fast. I loved it. Right outta T1 I started drilling it. Wanted to maintain mid 160's HR. I've really been working on my sustained power lately and I managed to hold quite a few more watts than I usually put out for a 1 hour in training. I was really happy when I found out I had the second fastest bike split only to Tim Hola, who averaged 26.9 mph. Stayed in the aero position the whole time with the exception of a few turns. My goal was to average 25 mph and I hit the 25 mile mark in 57:33. Got pretty psyched about that and turned the screw a little tighter. What would you do differently?: The only thing I would say is drink more. Everything else hr,cad, and watts were all spot on. Transition 2
Comments: Took my time here as it was getting really hot. Took one last pull of Infinit and I was off on the run. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Run
Comments: Very tough run. I was getting really hot and was double cupping at the aid stations. One in and one on. It hurt, but was sustainable. Passed a good half dozen people on the run, but I think some were doing the short course race. Got passed by one guy pretty hard that I previously had passed pretty hard on the bike. What would you do differently?: Run faster! Post race
Warm down: Drank some Gatorade walked around, but mainly just wanted to sit. What limited your ability to perform faster: The first 250 of the swim. Not drinking enough on the bike. Event comments: Overall a great race. Ft Morgan however would not be first choice for a destination race. The course itself was cool. They did a great job transporting the gear. My goal was to be under 2:30 and I did that just not in the splits that I had planned for. Overall a good hard effort. Last updated: 2008-05-09 12:00 AM

Stayed at Days Inn in Ft Morgan. Not a lot to do in the town, but Meg and I found a nice little Italian restaraunt. Unfortunately our hotel smelled like cigarettes and Drakkar Noir. Got up early and had the usual breakfast and coffee.
Got on the bike and rode out of the park a few miles and turned around. Ran about a mile with a few pickups.
