Swim
Comments: Another less than stellar ows. Sighting was tough b/c the middle third of the swim was into the sun. Still 30 secs faster than last year. Transition 1
Comments: New wetsuit got caught on the hands and feet. T1 30 secs longer than last year. What would you do differently?: PAM the arms and legs. Bike
Comments: The first 5 miles were mostly uphill and quite painful. After that, the course evened out and I felt much better. Pushed hard. NP = 163 (FTP = 165) This was the first race on my new bike. All good except I'm still having saddle issues. Did a lot of wiggling in the seat trying to get comfortable. Have a nasty little saddle sore today. :( What would you do differently?: Wear different tri shorts Transition 2
Run
Comments: The first mile was a long gradual uphill and it hurt. I started severely stitching immediately (just like last year). I just kept telling myself "stitches won't cause injury" and "no ones ever died from a stitch". My legs didn't feel that bad but I couldn't catch my breath. The stitch finally subsided at the turnaround. Thank goodness that uphill at mile 1 was now a downhill at mile 3! What would you do differently?: Wear my Garmin! Start my forced breathing technique right out of T2 to help combat the stitch. Post race
Event comments: Not the swim or run I had hoped for but I still beat last years time by 2 min. Last updated: 2009-01-08 12:00 AM
