Swim
Comments: A bit conjested, but mostly just a simple touch to let everyone else know "I'm right here" Very civil swim. I did catch some of the back of Wave 1. Some women caught me as well. No real issues, maybe I didn't hammer it as fast as I could, but didn't want to go flat out like a sprint b/c I knew it would be a long day What would you do differently?: Push a bit more Transition 1
Comments: Not bad. Tiome includes a pretty sizeable run from the beach and through a pretty large transition zone. Grabbed a gel while putting on shoes. What would you do differently?: Not much. Bike
Comments: I should be able to break 20. I'm getting down on myself, but truthfully, in retrospect, I'll take it. Just when you see the overall split out of context, it doesn't shine like I'd hope to. More TITS for me. What would you do differently?: Train more. Bike splits have been below where I want them Transition 2
Comments: Slow T2 today. I know I said above it's a bigger transition area, but come on? It's T2. Bike down, shoes on, and go. How hard is that to get straight? Blahh........ What would you do differently?: Speed it up a bit! Run
Comments: Not too awful in retrospect. I had a tough time running as today was my longest run since surgery. With the illnesses, surgery recovery and recent car / bike incident, run time had suffered in 2008. I'll take it. What would you do differently?: Maybe start a bit harder. I held off for the first loop then stepped it up some more. Mile 3-4.5 was really hard to get through. Post race
Warm down: LOVE the iced towels at the finish! Get my finishers medal, find a spot near the food and in the shade. Fresh peaches were out of this world good. What limited your ability to perform faster: A sprint on Thursday followed by this OLY on Sunday. Being hit by a car last week. 2 significant illnesses this summer and surgery last winter all queue up against top notch performance. Still getting out there though! Event comments: Seeing CT has limited OLY distance races to choose from, I'll be bcak again. I like the organization, the venue and the course, even though it relies on looping to make the distance. It doesn't bother me like some knock the race for. Full results at http://www.triandduit.com/webforms/tad_ResultsDetail.aspx?rf=ParkCi... Last updated: 2008-08-10 12:00 AM

Early start to the day. I had the nightmare that I missed the alarm and that it was 10:30 and I missed the start. This woke me at 1:30AM. I managed to fall asleeep again and, indeed, the real alarm woke me at 3:30. Quick breakfast, car was packed last night and a long drive to Bridgeport to get a good parking and transition spot. Get checked in, get transition set, get prepared.
A lap of the bike course and I alerted some volunteers to glass on the course. Nice and orderly morning. Put on the wetsuit and went down for a swim. Water was perfect today; calm, warm, not too salty.
