Swim
Comments: Avgerage swim. I came in right about my usual time for that distance. Arms are still getting very tired in the wetsuit Transition 1
Comments: 7th overall transition time, 1st in AG. Transition went pretty well. I had trouble getting into my shoes on the bike. I actually pulled one of them out of the clip trying to get it on and luckily didn't eat asphault getting it onto my foot. Bike
Comments: Great bike split. I was very happy with the time I turned in given the road conditions and course setup. I passed a lot of people and was not passed once on the bike. Transition 2
Comments: I am still having trouble getting my running shoes on. It cost me a little bit. My transition was 53rd overall. Run
Comments: Had very bad cramps from the very start of the run. I had to stop about every 10th of a mile on the first out and back. It was mostly a slow jog, stops, and some walking trying to shake the cramps. They were a little better the second out and back so I was able to keep a steady jog, and the 3rd out and back they lessened even more so I was able to hold a mid run pace. I was never able to shake them completely so I never got a chance to hit race pace. What would you do differently?: Figure out a full proof nutrition plans so I can avoid brutal cramps and allow myself to actually race on the run portion. Post race
Warm down: Stretch and hydration, ate about 45 minutes after race finish What limited your ability to perform faster: Cramps on the run. Event comments: Everything was good about the race and the organization except it took forever to hold the awards ceremony which sucks when you have to travel after the race. It would have been nice to get out of there sooner. Last updated: 2009-04-14 12:00 AM
