 Swim
Comments: Swim started out awesome. I was on a comfortable pace and mechanically good. Then the chip started coming loose, so I had to stop and fix it- no big deal- maybe 30 seconds. Then I got way off course on the way in. I started swimming toward the sprint race yellow bouys. My stomach was getting a nasty feeling about half way threough the swim that never went away the rest of the race. still came out with an OK time despite the navigation issues What would you do differently?: More OWS. familiarize myself with the course better. I was absolutely lost for a few moments.  Transition 1
Comments: Decent transition- felt I fumbled with the shoes too much, but happy with a sub 1:00 What would you do differently?: not much, just be more precise.  Bike
Comments: Good ride. Stomach issues still haunting me. I feel like I was a little short physically, but managed to put up a pretty good bike split despite it. I had a frustrating moment when I got stuck in a little traffic jam, but that was out of my control. come off with a flying dismout-perfect. What would you do differently?: I still have to look at my pre race diet. At the 2 races I shot a 5 hour energy beforehand, both times I had stomach issues. GC and Here Transition 2
Comments: Put on socks here and struggled with them a little, otherwise I should have been sub 1:00 here What would you do differently?: Practice with socks- have not been using them for the last 2 sprints  Run
Comments: Not a great run. I started strong and passed lots of people. I thought I could maintain a sub 8 pace, but by the time I hit the turnaround I started fading fast. by mile 5 at the hill the stomach dicomfort turned into a short puking session. had to walk it off for a minute then did my best to hammer out the last mile What would you do differently?: more run and interval training in the heat. work on nutrition. I feel that I fell short here and could/should be able to pull a sub 50 Post race
Warm down: stood under the shower tent- I love those things. Saw Court and Kraig at the finish line. made my way over to the NAMC crew, where Felix had an ice cold beer waiting for me (delicious!) What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing really. I had some stomach issues, but I am not going to make excuses- who ever really has the "perfect" race? I am thrilled that I won Clydesdale and have no complaints Event comments: Ga Multisports does a great job. They support our club and we enjoy going out in force to Jim's events. Fun race and a great day! Profile Album Last updated: 2008-06-09 12:00 AM

Master 2638  | Subject: RE: Westpoint Lake Triathlon You ran that run AND had to stop for barfing? That is hard core. That 5 hr energy might not be your friend. Does GU work for you? |

Regular 53 | Subject: RE: Westpoint Lake Triathlon Nice race! They should just create a division just for you so that others will at least have an opportunity to take home some hardware too! Can't believe you stayed tough after the pukey-puke. |
