 Swim
Comments: OK - I stink at swimming and I am working on it. this was a very crowded swim and I never got any clear water. After getting kicked a dozen times and finally got into a rythm with about 100 meters to go. One of the swim coaches that I am working with from the Sportfactory started 4 minutes behind me and caught me with about 50 to go. Definately going to work on my swimming. I got out of the water around 9:10 and took the rest of the time to climb the hill to the transition area. It was the steepest hill on the course by far What would you do differently?: Need top practice alot more in the open water  Transition 1
Comments: Good T1  Bike
Comments: Decent bike leg for me. I could have pushed it a bit harder up the hills. I really enjoyed the ride. Transition 2
Comments: Good T2  Run
Comments: I thought I was running faster! I felt good and thought I was around an 8 minute pace (which would have been good for me). It took me about a mile to get my legs going and I had calf cramps throughout the run. I did not drink anything on the course and that was probably a mistake. Post race
Warm down: Met some great people at this race. It was by far the best post race atmosphere of the races I have done this year What limited your ability to perform faster: Conditioning and my swim Event comments: This was a good wrap up to my first year of competing. I improved since my first race in April and look forward to more improvement next year. Last updated: 2008-05-16 12:00 AM

Master 1201 Woodstock, GA | Subject: RE: Emerald Pointe Triathlon Great job on the race. It was a nice ending to your first year. I noticed on your personal blog that you did Six Gaps too. You should come ride with us when we go next time. |

New user 21 | Subject: RE: Emerald Pointe Triathlon Thanks for the encouragement. I did have a good time and look forward to doing more and perhaps I'll see you at one or more in the coming year. I enjoyed your blog, and can relate as I lost my father to cancer when I was 10. Hope you can raise lots of money for the ACS. By the way, I looked at your picture gallery and I'm still drooling over your "ride". Your blog (and your username for that matter), however, would be greatly improved by removing "dawg" references. If you see me on the course, my bike and I are outfitted in Yellow Jacket yellow - I couldn't find anything in Old Gold! Go Jackets! |

I live about 20 minutes from the race site, so I got up, had a breakfast cookie and headed out the door. Got to the site and picked up my packet, got my transition area set up and had thefine people at Roswell Bicycle adjust the limit screws on my rear derailleur.
