Swim
What would you do differently?: Try to draft off the faster group a bit better. They got away before I got free of the main pack. Found one fast group towards the end, but lost them when we hit some traffic. Felt like I could have swum a little faster, but happy with my result. Transition 1
Comments: T area just big. Took a while to get through it. Bike
Comments: Bike was good. A lot flatter than what I'm used to. Apparently I drafted someone, which is utterly bogus but WTF can I do about it. Lots of sharp turns, 3000 people, and it happens. When a pack passes you, with riders pulling in front of you, riders to your left, riders behind, and curb to your right, what precisely are you supposed to do when you see the official motorbike coming past and scribbling in her little notebook. F(*% that. What would you do differently?: Ride faster. Develop a forceshield around me so I don't get bogus drafting penalties, other than that, not a damn thing except go faster. Transition 2
Comments: Got a bit hung up putting on socks. Transition area just long. :) Run
Comments: Apparently my AG is just effing fast. :) I'm in top 1/4 overall but barely top 1/2 of my AG, and as the bottom end of the run scale. Went good though, since I reset my running in Feb, when I switched to Pose. This is my longest ( distance ) run to date since then. And it matches my PR standalone 10k from last summer, so defintely will be faster as I get more miles under me. What would you do differently?: Run more. Run faster. Post race
Warm down: Post race daze. Got water. Walked around for about 10 minutes. Stretched. What limited your ability to perform faster: More training. Not much. I'm about 15min PR over my best time last year. Good way to start to season, and things are just gonna get better from here. Stupid 2:00 drafting penalty. Event comments: I'll definitely do this again. I'm pissed about the drafting penalty. I saw the lady write in her book as she zoomed by, so I know exactly where it happened, and BS if I was drafting. The pack that caught and eventually passed me sure were riding awfully close together too, so hopefully they all got dinged too, so that it's fair. Last updated: 2005-03-22 12:00 AM

Packed night before. Woke up at 4:15. Got dressed. Had 1 cup of coffee, bottle of 'green goodness' fruit juice, clif bar. Got in car and went to race site.
Not much of one. A bit brisk, jogged around a bit to warm up, stretched. Setup T area, walked 3/4 mile to swim start.
