Swim
Comments: I did well in the swim however I know I could do better if I would get my lazy butt in the water more. The swim was a "time trial" start based on your submitted times. The swim was an OWS and you swam out just a little way hung a left and then a long straight shot down to the left to the exit. I passed several folks on the swim inculding my buddy who started some 30 people before me. I was happy to pass him because I knew my weakness would be the bike and he is a strong biker. made it out the ocean and onto the beach for a little run to the transition. Transition 1
Comments: T1 went well. Bike
Comments: This was a flat course, I knew I had not been on the bike like I should have, but I wanted to try and make it to around M12 before my buddy passed me. Around M5 or 6 is where he caught me and I tried to keep near him, but knew the pace was to fast for me. Then it was keep him in sight then it was ohhh maybe I will catch him on the run. There are two turn around points one at M12 and M24 where you see other riders coming back by the M24 he had 5-6 minutes on me. Headed back to T2 Oh yea it was a real nice course on Jekyll Island What would you do differently?: Train more on the bike Transition 2
Comments: In and out Run
Comments: Started the run and around hitting the M1 marker I knew I had trashed my legs on the bike. I was running slow and felt a muscle cramp trying to grab a hold. I just kept plugging along, it had gotten a little hot on the run, but they had 6 water stops and that was nice. The horse flys loved me and I was swatting them pretty regular. I lady near me made the comment that I looked like pig pen with all the flys around me, so I then nick-named her Lucy. Again at M5.5 ish the mucsle cramps started but just slowed up a little and ran it in. What would you do differently?: train more on the bike so I do not trash my legs on the ride. Post race
Warm down: water, gatorade, water, ice, food...... What limited your ability to perform faster: see above Last updated: 2009-02-18 12:00 AM
