 Swim
Comments: Holy F that was cold. My body did not react kindly to that water. I'm surprised no one tried to jump in to save me. I was probably 2/3 of the way through the swim before I felt like my stroke settled down. Unpleasant  Transition 1
Comments: I walked a fair amount during this. My hands were very cold and my speech was slurred when I tried to talk. Again, why didn't anyone try to rescue me?  Bike
Comments: I have never felt faster on a bike compared to the people around me. 'twas a good feeling. NP was 252. I didn't have the guts to race it at threshold, so I left some on the table. One of these days I'll get over it. The run wouldn't have suffered from another 20-25 watts spent on the course, I don't think. Transition 2
Comments: A cross dismount is not the time to find out your feet are completely numb. I couldn't run during this because I couldn't feel anything from the balls of my feet forward. There's almost an extra minute spent in transition compared to last year & it's 100% due to the cold.  Run
Comments: This is a harder run than I remember. There is never a flat stretch and right of of T2 is the biggest hill. There are no real hills other than that, just long slight up/down hills. Post race
Event comments: Whee. I won a stool. I feel good going into White Lake. Last updated: 2009-01-13 12:00 AM

Extreme Veteran 537 Davidson, NC | Subject: RE: Belews Lake Triathlon "Official" water temp was 66, and that was posted on Thursday. I didn't hear a report the day of the race. All I know is that the start was really a disaster b/c it shocked me so much. Another amusing bit: I seeded myself very aggressively (meaning I might have stretched the truth a bit on my 100y time they asked for to use for seeding). I was seeded 62nd and had placed 42nd in the swim (including M&F) so I guess at least 20 people lied worse than me. |

Expert 1040 SF Bay Area | Subject: RE: Belews Lake Triathlon Nice race! The last time I swam in Belews Lake the water must have been in the mid to upper 80s! Great roads for cycling around there, beautiful country for sure. I was born in High Point and used to ride my bike up to Belews Lake all the time. Again, good job on your race. |

Extreme Veteran 537 Davidson, NC | Subject: RE: Belews Lake Triathlon keyone - 2009-04-19 3:44 PM You should post a pic of it! Stool schmool. This is the pic I was waiting for. Next time I should get Alice to do my toenails to match, just like she did. |
