 Swim
Comments: Time includes running 100 yards or so to t-1. Goggles fogged up right on the start and I couldn't see much but blurred splashing, arms, legs, torsos and heads all around I got a good kick in the stomach that knocked the wind out of me at 100 meter mark -- Just couldn't get my act together from that point on - I broke down and did side-stroke until the final 100 meters -- Just messed me up physically and mentally I guess -- I'll get the swim before seasons-end - I work too hard on everything else to let the swim start me off in the back very time...  Transition 1
Comments: I'm surprised the time was not longer - I got stuck in my wet suit, staggered around on one foot trying not to fall all over the bike rack with one leg hung in the wet suit... pulled my chip off, and had to put it back on, and to add insult to injury my wife was standing there with the video camera giving me the old, "Lookin' good honey" :) )  Bike
Transition 2
Comments: One of the fastest t-2s in my AG -- Felt like I ran by, threw my bike on the rack and was out the other side...  Run
Post race
Event comments: My overall time was about 4 minutes faster than this same race last year, but I was about 4 minutes slower than I wanted to be -- Improvement, just not as much as I'd hoped for -- But, for the first race of the season, I'll give it a B overal... Last updated: 2009-01-14 12:00 AM

Extreme Veteran 549 Marietta, GA | Subject: RE: Tri the Parks - John Tanner State Park Great run time! And good swim for that matter after getting kicked in the gut. I'd rather take a kick to the head. You kept it together well. |

Master 1730 Atlanta, GA | Subject: RE: Tri the Parks - John Tanner State Park Pops! Great race. There are many stories about the washing machine start (including mine). Too fuuny on the video...you have to post it. Your run shows you are ready to build even more speed overall as the season moves forward. Excellent start to the season. Also, I enjoyed meeting you. |

Elite 3683 Whispering Pines, North Carolina | Subject: RE: Tri the Parks - John Tanner State Park Definitely a good race, pops! It was hard not to get kicked, clawed, or poked on the swim! My goggles got knocked off and I got kicked a few times. Fun times. Sorry we did not get to meet up. I stopped by the BT tent and met ALLTOM and TriAgain (not sure on that second name). See you at the next race! |

Regular 137 Fort Collins, CO | Subject: RE: Tri the Parks - John Tanner State Park Thats a great all around race for the beginning of the year. Solid base to build on, keep working on the swimming, the real secret to enduring open water swims is experience. If you work too hard on everything else, start working too hard on the swim too! |
