 Swim
 Transition 1
Comments: Ummm.. I was still pouting about the swim so I just trotted through the process. What would you do differently?: Get some motivation, damnit. Quit being a baby - it was the same for everybody so suck it up.  Bike
Comments: I didn't really sink my teeth into the race until a few miles into it. However, I am pleased with the results and the effort in the end. I knew that there were a lot of turns so my strategy was to crank the straight aways and recover a bit in the turns - like doing intervals. Wind was a factor. What would you do differently?: Kick self in ass a little sooner. Transition 2
Comments: Whatever. I was trying to catch my breath a bit and calm my heart rate down. What would you do differently?: Not much.  Run
Comments: I am happy with it. The first mile SUCKED!!! I caught my groove between miles 2 and 3. Who moved the mile 5 marker? I have no idea why that mile split was 45 seconds longer. Did I miss a hill or something? Anyway, I kept my HR below 160 because horrible things happen otherwise - it's not pretty and it involves PUKE. What would you do differently?: Not much - did what I could do considering the hard bike leg. Post race
Warm down: Just wandering and drinking fluids and shining my medal. What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of warmup. Event comments: Love this race. The organizers did an awesome job adjusting to a difficult situation. Last updated: 2009-04-28 12:00 AM

I started out my normal routine. I got up and ate my usual PB on wheat. I drank coffee, water and gatorade. I was relaxed....until I got to the event and heard all of the scuttle butt about the swim being cancelled. That demotivated me a bit - I was thinking negative thoughts, etc. I eventually sucked it up and got into race mode, but not until about mile 3 on the bike. I had a scare when I realized that I left my timing chip back at the hotel. Luckily, a very good friend retrieved it for me in time, but I could have done without that stress.
None really. It was organized chaos plus I was a bit demotivated.
