 Swim
Comments: Not very happy with my swim. I should have been able to hammer out a better time than this. I know I shouldn't complain as I was 5th in my AG, but it just really wasn't that good. What would you do differently?: I dunno, this is usually where I am good, so I have no idea why in the hell I wasn't faster today.  Transition 1
Comments: Relatively long run from water to transition area. Felt like thing were going well, I was trying to bring my HR down after the swim, but it stayed high the whole day, so oh well. What would you do differently?: Not much, everything felt smooth wetsuit came off good, but I almost tripped over it which may have added a couple of seconds.  Bike
Comments: Well, going into the race I told myself that I just wanted to hammer the bike and see what would happen. Got out of transtion and got up to speed quickly, going out of T1 there is a gradual uphill for a little while. I should have waited a little longer to get my feet into my shoes as it slowed me down a little at the beginning. Once I got rolling though I started to hammer as much as I could. HR was through the roof for most of it, but I just wanted to see what I could do if I really pushed myself on the bike. On the way in I got out of my shoes when I wanted to and had a really good dismount coming into T2 What would you do differently?: Not much, as I was running I thought a gel might have been nice on the bike, but with how high my HR was there was no way my stomach would have taken it. Transition 2
Comments: Decent T2 for me, I missed my rack as I was running in, so that cost me some time, but nothing too bad. What would you do differently?: Not miss my rack.  Run
Comments: Well, I started to pay for the high HR and pushing on the bike, but I really didn't care I just wanted to make it through, as you can see, this is the only area that I wasn't in the top 10 in my AG. The PF didn't help this at all as I am not really confident in my run yet. I am not sure I really could have pushed any harder. I am happy with this as it is a good time for me, but I think that I was paying for going all out on the bike, which is fine by me at this distance. What would you do differently?: Not really sure to be honest. Post race
Warm down: Walked around, drank some water and Endurox, talked to the Donk's present as well as some other friends I had doing the race and watched the awards. What limited your ability to perform faster: Running, plain and simple, I am not a speedy runner. I really think that with a little more bike work I could be good at AquaVelo's as even though the running is coming along, I am just not all that fast. When I was getting off the bike it sort of felt like I stepped on something and it made me hop a little. After getting home from doing my other ride I started having some sharp pain on my left foot which was the first one down off the bike. Looked at my foot and I have about a 2 inch cut on my foot just behind my toes. Event comments: Great race, definitely want to make this a regular race. Also, they gave out a really nice shirt which is a definite plus. Last updated: 2008-03-02 12:00 AM

Elite 2673 Muskego, WI | Subject: RE: Lake Mills Triathlon Great swim bike and you act like your run was terrible. Gimme a break pardner...that was a solid effort all around! Good to meet you as well. |

Champion 6056 Menomonee Falls, WI | Subject: RE: Lake Mills Triathlon Yeah, your run totally sucked. You're a snail. Dude, I had no idea you were so crazy-azz fast-- and I think nicely balanced between all three disciplines. With a couple more years of base building behind you, I think the TurbeDonks should be very, very worried. Great race and great yakking with you! |

Woke up at 3:00 to start getting ready. Made some oatmeal with Honey and Strawberries in it and went into the basement so that I wouldn't wake the Mrs. Turned on the TV and watched a little 2007 IM Hawaii. Finished the oatmeal and double checked to make sure I had everything and jumped in the car to meet up with Dave, who was running late, and then head to Lake Mills. Uneventful trip there and we got a couple of good parking spots. Set up transition and just milled about and talked to a good number of fellow Donkai's as we were getting ready to go.
Did about 5 miles on the bike just to make sure that everything was ready to go. Then got in the water and swam a short distance, should have gone a little longer I think now that I am looking back at it.
