Swim
Comments: well, apparently if I stand around in a really warm humid room for a while, I WILL have serious breathing problems by the time I get to actually swim. seriously considered stopping, kept popping up at the ends of lanes to take giant gulping breaths. got passed by 2 people. probably w/out exaggeration the worst swim of my life. What would you do differently?: no clue, as I did take my inhaler before waiting for the start. I would have not had the problem outside, plus I would have been able to swim breaststroke for a minute to breathe w/out worrying about kicking people. Transition 1
Comments: well, I walked to transition, and took giant raspy gulping breaths. this was NOT my fastest transition ever. What would you do differently?: new lungs? Bike
Comments: spent the first bit trying to catch my breath. finally felt better about halfway through, managed to kick it up for the second half. What would you do differently?: breathe. not lose my inhaler when I hit a pothole. Transition 2
Comments: again, super slow (no time for this, but probably two minutes at least. just didn't have the quick mindset... but that's one of the reasons I did this race, to get my brain back in that mode. What would you do differently?: hustle. Run
Comments: why do RDs put water stops at the TOP of hills? ran the whole thing except a brief walk through the second water stop. This was my goal for this race, to be able to run the whole run. Course was short, probably was 2.9 according to people with garmins. take out my long transition and I'm happy with my time. Post race
Warm down: wandered around, drank my chocolate milk, volunteered at the kid's tri What limited your ability to perform faster: breathing issues, definitely. Last updated: 2008-05-12 12:00 AM

stayed at IL's house. slept like crap. ate yogurt and strawberries.
wandered around, ran into people I knew, chatted. thought about getting in the pool.. and then decided not to. Did a few skips and side skips to open up my tight hip joints.
