 Swim
Comments: My best swim ever. Went hard off the front and stayed with the big boys and while I got beat up a bit for the 1st 100yds it paid dividends in the feet that I was able to catch. I cruised this swim and had a ridiculously fast time. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Transition 1
Comments: Great T1, wetsuit strippers helped w/ the quick time and I was completely calm and relaxed. I used duct tape on the bottom of my cleats to keep the crap out, tore it off at the mount line and shoes popped right into the pedals. Worked like a charm, THANX AARON!!!! What would you do differently?: Nothing.  Bike
Comments: Good ride. Still cant get the pwer thing down but I am getting better. Felt comfortable the whole ride and never really felt like I pushed. However, my second loop was slower than my first due to starting to feel the effects of the heat. What would you do differently?: Not mix gatorade as strong. Transition 2
Comments: Great T2. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Run
Comments: This is where everything came apart. The first loop was okay but slower than I had hoped, but the heat was a killer so I slowed down just to be able to keep running. Mile 5 my R hammy locked up and it was a major struggle from there. Mile 7-8 my quads bagan to lock up and I was in full survival mode. Walked most of the hills the second loop and each aid station just to get as much liquid in me as possible. What would you do differently?: Pray for cooler weahter Post race
Warm down: Tried not to puke or pass out. What limited your ability to perform faster: HEAT and HUMIDITY Event comments: Keith puts on a great race, however, until W Shore road is patched or repaved I think I will find another early season race to do. Last updated: 2008-02-06 12:00 AM

Master 1265 CT | Subject: RE: Mooseman Triathlon Festival - Half Iron Distance Great job Dave! Awesome swim and bike! Yeah, I saw all that flotsam out on the road too and it DID look like a breadcrumb trail. I also saw an unbelievable number of those yellow aerodrink poofy things all over the course  . The heat WAS brutal—nice job hangin' in with the leg cramps and all! |

Got up a 3am had my PB&J and Ensure w/ a iced coffee and gatorade.
Took a 5-8 minute run bu the cabin prior to heading to transition. Kept loose by stretching. Set up T area and walked a little taking in the pre-race nerves. DId Prehab visited POP and donned wetsuit. Swam about 100yds w/ a few pickups down to start.
