 Swim
Comments: Was more confident than last race, started in the front on the inside For a long time I thought I was second in my wave as I did not see a group to my left, I was probably around place 10 in my wave I had a tendency to turn slightly left What would you do differently?: Nothing much really  Transition 1
Comments: Was 3rd in Clydesdales with that time... I definitely wasted a lot of time in T1 Asu usual had a gel and some Gatorade The suit was difficult to get off  Bike
Comments: Bike was okay, I didnt feel like I could have pushed harder, part of it is my fitness, part of it is the aero bar, it was good to have it back on but then it fell apart again and just gefore the last turn was unuseable What would you do differently?: Get e decent bike!!! Transition 2
Comments: That felt like one of the faster transitions Getting the bike back on the rack was a little slow I also got a gel and some gatorade as always, very likely the right choice! Was 7th among the Clydes  Run
Comments: This was the big surprise, I expected to be MUCH slower, was surprised by how well this went, I could not believe that I was doing around 9:30 average there I pushed harder towards the end, and that must have gotten me 1st place in the Clydes What would you do differently?: Loose weight Post race
Warm down: Eating (the food was very good again, lot of choices), talking to friend from AATC What limited your ability to perform faster: Weight, training Event comments: I was completely surprised about how well I performed on the run (that is of course all relative) Would have been 32nd in M35-39 AG, but winning the Clydes was of course great, even though it feels undeserved, given how little I am training this year Will come back! UPDATE: someone else was rated in the Clydesdale division and smoked us all! So I turned out to be second place, still great of course! Last updated: 2009-06-05 12:00 AM

70F / 21C
Overcast
Overall Rank = 176/368
Age Group = Clydesdale U40
Age Group Rank = 2/13
Had only a little over 5 hours of sleep, got up at 5.30am, had 1 Clifbar, 1 banana, half a Gatorade and a coffe
Arrived there around 6.45, my wave did not start until 8.23 so I had lots of time
After setting everything up, I was helping the AA tri club with setting up the tent
As usual... no warm up really
The water was not too cold so I got into the water earlier than usual
