Swim
Comments: Went out hard to clear the crowd and then just swam to buoy. Course was way long probably at 1000m or so. Was in 7th wave of 8 so I passed people from every wave ahead of me. After turn I found two others in my wave and tried to draft one of them. Didn't have much luck so I just sighted off them to the end. Since I could see two in my age group, I didn't really think my swim would be as high as 11 of 411 (2.7%). Sleeve of wetsuit turned off my watch so I was timeless for the rest of the race (as usual). Transition 1
Comments: Practiced mounting bike w/shoes attached a few times the day before but since the bike exit was so close to my rack position, I didn't take the risk and instead ran in my bike shoes. Bike
Comments: According to BT Route Tracker the course was 13.1 which gives me 24.7 mph. Lost quite a bit of time at the end trying to get out of my shoes while on the bike at which I'm still terrible. What would you do differently?: Need race wheels and a TT bike to compete with the top riders. Transition 2
Comments: Since I was the first bike in, I couldn't get my bike to rack because the rack was loose and swinging. Run
Comments: Ran hard. Knew Dime and KiloDave were catching me fast from behind so I just did what I always do which is try to hang on to people who pass me as long as I can. Got pretty hot near the end. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Post race
Warm down: None. What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing. Last updated: 2008-05-09 12:00 AM
