Swim
Comments: Crappy swim. Just wasn't feeling it. My navigation was probably a little better than normal, but I was 2 mins slower than last year. Haven't been in the pool much for the last 3 weeks What would you do differently?: Ride a jet ski :) Transition 1
Comments: Pretty decent....long run from the swim to the ta Bike
Comments: Felt pretty good on the bike. One stupid mistake though--I always take at least one gel on the bike and left all 4 of mine sitting on my towel in the TA. Could tell that I was starting to run out of gas towards the end of the course. Overall, pretty happy with the ride. What would you do differently?: Ride even faster Transition 2
Comments: Just about busted at the dismount line. I was wearing my shoes which were damaged at OTM 2 weeks ago. The clips on the bottom of my left foot were really scraped up and they didn't want to let loose when I tried to unclip. Almost had a nice wipeout if front of a big crowd, including the photographer from the newspaper. Run
Comments: Felt really good for the 1st 1/4 mile. Took a gel at T2 but I was gassed. First mile was pretty good, second mile was crap. Started feeling a little better during mile three. Really found a high gear for the last 1/4 mile or so. Passed about 10 people in the home stretch. What would you do differently?: Run faster...try to be more like Matt & Jon Post race
Warm down: Hung out with the QCTC crowd. Really enjoyed us having a tent and somewhere to meet up. What limited your ability to perform faster: Me Event comments: Enjoy this race, just wasn't thrilled with my performance. Mentally and physically, I just wasn't checked in completely. I know that I could have done better BUT at least I didn't get hit by a car during this race ;) Last updated: 2008-02-10 12:00 AM

Peanut butter and marshmellow creme on a bagel while driving to the race site. I did learn from last year's debacle of trying to pump up my bike tires with just the light from my watch to read the gauge. Pumped them up before I left home this year.
Nada--why don't I ever remember that I'm supposed to warm-up? Oh yeah, 'cause I'm too busy socializing and doing interviews (did one with the local newspaper and one tv station this morning) AND YES HEATHER--That does make me a rock star :)
