 Swim
Comments: I knew I was going slow when the wave behind me caught me. Never got into the groove, but never felt like I was burning too much energy either. Used it as a simple training swim with long, easy strokes. Sighted about every 10 strokes and was able to stay on course throughout. What would you do differently?: Spend more time in the pool.  Transition 1
What would you do differently?: Simply hurry a bit more  Bike
Comments: My legs felt like lead; all I can say is thank god for the granny gear up front! What would you do differently?: I need to work more hills into my routine, and I need to lose weight Transition 2
What would you do differently?: Nada... changed socks cuz of wet feet and broken toe, just took longer than I anticipated  Run
Comments: Broken toe hindered me a bit, but my legs felt like lead. Never got into a good rhythm. Knee started twinging about 1/2 way through, so walked down most of the steep hills. What would you do differently?: Keep on working on running ... Post race
Warm down: Walking, eating pasta, nanner, wrapped up in a space blanket What limited your ability to perform faster: Sore toe, weight is about #15 higher than it should be, traveling this past week and screwed up sleep patterns due to the red-eye on Thursday... Last updated: 2009-02-03 12:00 AM

Up at 4; bowl of cereal, banana, coffee, then drove up to Columbia. Got everything set up by 6:30, took things to the car, then headed off to watch the pros start.
