Swim
Comments: I was definitly tired after the bike, but was glad to get in the pool. I honestly felt like I swam faster than this. Gave up on bilateral breathing after first length and went to every stroke. Felt good through swim with nice steady pace. What would you do differently?: Need to get to where I can take one breath and puch off rather than a couple of breaths on the turn. Could saev a lot of time if I can get comfortable with my kick turn under the ropes and keep moving. Transition 1
Comments: The above was actually my T2 after coming off the bike. I did good here except I tried to pull my shirt off which would not come when I realized my race belt was still on. Once I was headed to the pool, I realized I was not exactly sure which building it was on. Asked spectators (small venue) and they directed me to the correct doors. I was headed to the gymnasium. What would you do differently?: Figure out where the pool is. My friend laughed and said he had the same problem. Bike
Comments: I felt like a flew to the turnaround and then hit the headwind straight on. Overall, I felt good on the bike. I passed 10+ people on my old road bike including some nice tri bikes. What would you do differently?: Need to get a tri bike. Want to average in the 20's. Need to learn to love uphills and attack them. It was nice passing people and not getting passed by anyone on the bike Transition 2
Comments: Again this was actually T1. This went well. It is easy going from the run to the bike. Transition area was very small which helped time. What would you do differently?: Still should have been quicker. Run
Comments: tried to keep up with the fast runners and only lasted a 1/3 mile before my breathing got out of control and had to slow down. My goal was to break 27 minutes. I will do it next time as I have committed to speed up my running. I never did stop which was positive. I do feel it is easier for me to run on the third rather then at the start because it takes my lungs a good 1.5 to start working. What would you do differently?: Run faster. get into the 7's. Post race
Warm down: Got a great sports massage. What limited your ability to perform faster: Conditioning. Event comments: I improved over my first Tri. This one was a little longer and beat my first time though the weather was much better. I will get faster as I have a lot of room for improvement. I definitly am hooked and look forward to training everyday to get faster at each event all the while getting my fata** back in shape again before I hit the big 30. Last updated: 2009-03-24 12:00 AM

Ate a banana, coffee, and Granola bar. At check in, found out this was a reverse Triathlon. This race is basically run by student volunteers and they did a great job for a small venue. Reversing the Triathlon makes the timing easier.
Spun around parking lot and jogged slowly.
