Swim
Comments: Overall I am ok with the swim. I know I can do a little better. I was defineitely held up a bit by some slower people at the first half of the course, but was able to maintain a decent pace throughout. Sighting was good and I felt like I did a good job staying on line. What would you do differently?: not much. maybe start off to the side more and try to fine some clear water earlier. Transition 1
Comments: I didn't have my shoes already clipped into the pedals since there was such a short distance to get situated after the mount so that probably cost me a few seconds. I also put on a tri top after the swim which took way too long. Next time I will either go without a top or invest in a one piece trisuit. What would you do differently?: Not wear a top. Bike
Comments: Took the bike nice and easy. Wanted to just keep an smooth effort and felt good. What would you do differently?: In hind sight, I probably could hve gone a little harder, but I am very happy. Transition 2
Comments: One of my shoes came undone as i dismounted, but an aide worker grabbed it so that saved me the trouble of turning around anlosing valuable seconds. What would you do differently?: Not drop a shoe. Run
Comments: This was the fist real run I have done since I tore a claf muscle in May. I had no idea if I could run the whole way or not, but I didn't have any pressure or pain so I kept going and to my surprise, the pace was decent. What would you do differently?: Nothing, I am thrilled. Post race
Warm down: After just taking it easy for about 15 minutes or so, I did some stretching and kind of walked around for a bit and continued to stretch as needed on and off for an hour or so. What limited your ability to perform faster: I need to work on my transitions for sure, which I didn't practice at all because of the calf muscle tear and I didn't want to aggrivate anything. Had i not been injured a while back I would have been able to be in better running shape and should have been able to go a bit faster, but overall I wouldn't ask for anything more. Event comments: I think this is a great race and they really do a nice job of getting some very talented atheletes as well as some new triathletes which makes it really fun for everyone. I always will plan to do this race. Last updated: 2008-07-26 12:00 AM
