I was really trippin' balls about the swim but was actually doing alright and remaining calm untill the first buoy (100m) then I kinda lost it and ended up doing backstroke and freestyle with my head above the water the rest of the way, I'd try to go back to normal swimming but my breathing was all messed up. That's about the point where I said "never again"

Well I've been training since december for this very race going to the pool on average 3 times a week and could actually swim a kilometer. Did about 5 OWS in the 2 weeks leading up to the race then race day comes and it's like I've never swam before. So the only thing I would do different is to sign up for a Duathlon.

Went really smooth

nothing

I wasn't that tired from the swim but I just wasn't feeling it. I just kinda felt off on the bike like it was a lot harder then it should have been for me. I've had easy training rides faster so I should have done a lot better. But I was still ok with my performance.

ride the roller more over the winter.

Had a slight problem getting my back to stay on the rack but other then that perfect!

not have my bike slip off the rack

Still felt off, didn't fell like I was running very fast but I slowly passed most of the rest of the feild. Sprinted past one more guy right before the finish line.

more bricks

drank water, drank gatorade, ate cliff bar and watermelon


My swim and the fact that I was having an off day


Very well ran race, great volunteers and lots of great draw prizes after. I won a medal and free race picture for 2nd in my AG and got my picture taken for being in the top 5.
