Swim
Comments: Felt strong, but with a sprint start and being in wave 19, there was quite a bit of "navigational avoidance" from the early waves... I could have been in about 20 seconds faster, but got caught in a bad place. What would you do differently?: Stay a bit stronger and push through the obstructions vs. being polite and slowing and going around at the end. Transition 1
Comments: Average run up to transition, the sprint racers were on the grass a level below the olympic group. Took a bit of time to be sure feet were clean... Loved the process of removing the T1... Easily shaved 30 seconds off my time. What would you do differently?: I need to work on my "electronics" ... bike leg was with no feedback, heart or speed/cadence/power Bike
Comments: Felt really good on the bike today (short swim certainly helped). Starting in a later wave vs. the normal early waves for us "larger" types made the bike VERY interesting in that I was passing people and riding in much more crowded conditions. What would you do differently?: Not sure what I would do differently other than get more miles in for training. Bike is feeling very "dialed" in... loving the new wheelset, not sure how much it helped, but overall, very pleased Transition 2
Comments: A bit better... grabbed a quick drink before leaving, but overall, I can't complain. What would you do differently?: Not much I could do, someone else had dropped their wetsuit ontop of my gear, so a bit wet and I took the time to place it on the bike rack rather than just pushing them aside. Run
Comments: I hate running... still do... going to be working on a new training focus here, with top 10% in swim and Bike then barely in the to 50% for run, I have alot of work! What would you do differently?: Training plan!!! Post race
Warm down: Water, Water... walk, stretch What limited your ability to perform faster: Swim and bike were minor improvements, but running is still horrible... I don't like it, and need to focus on it like I have on swimming! Last updated: 2008-01-09 12:00 AM

Arrived early and got a spot where I wanted... Normal morning food for a 1+ hour workout... Peanut butter bagel with a red bull! ;) Set things up, checked, once, twice and a final time. Listened to the pre-race meeting and then got ready for another long wait for my wave to go out... 36 minutes after the first wave.
Slow run about 5 minutes and about 2 minutes of swimming.
