Swim
Comments: Bad swim. Got passed by 2 people, almost knocked my goggles off going under the lane marker. Just didn't feel strong at all. Should have swam 5:25. Came out in 5:44, crossed the marker at 6:01. What would you do differently?: Swim faster Transition 1
Comments: Avg 22mph for 9+ miles. Not bad considering 10+ speedbumps and frigid weather...numb hands and feet. Had a tough time putting on armwarmers otherwise I would have frozen. I had 25:45 on my computer. What would you do differently?: Wear ski gloves and wool socks! Rinse the soap out of my aero drink after washing it....soapy water tastes horrible! Bike
Comments: Decent bike, need to check the cassette on the disc...there are some big gears on that thing! Wanted to keep cadence 92-94avg but the cassette was new and I couldn't find the just right gear. Transition 2
Comments: My feet were numb 1/2 way up my calf and my hands were frozen. Imagine changing shoes with no feeling in hands and attempting to put socks on..HA! I wasted 30 seconds, easy. What would you do differently?: Pick a warmer day! Run
Comments: Pretty decent run considering my hands and feet were numb half way through. The cold air was perfect for running. Once I hit 1 1/4 miles, I felt great...I hammered the last 1/2 mile. IT band started tightening up towards the end. What would you do differently?: Bring my race belt...run 18:20. Post race
Warm down: More like warm up. After packing up the gear and changing into 3 layers I was still shivering. After picking up my age group award and talking to a few folks...I hit up the natatorium to get warm and stretch for 25 minutes. What limited your ability to perform faster: Soapy aerodrink water, poor swim, and frozen limbs(slow transition). Last updated: 2009-03-22 12:00 AM

Ate up a banana, some OJ, and oatmeal. Drove from Hamptead to UNCW, had to pay 10 bucks for USAT fee since my renewal card hadn't arrived yet (I renewed in November)!
Took the phoenix out for a spin with my new disc! Hit up the diving pool for a good 10 minute w/u swim.
