 Swim
Comments: i really thought my swim was strong. smooth for sure. my strongest swim ever and felt good. What would you do differently?: kick.  Transition 1
Comments: even though my t1 area was well organized i was not when i get there. i couldn't get my act together. i took my bike off the rack before i had my helmet on. What would you do differently?: practice, practice, practice!  Bike
Comments: bike was o.k. not great but o.k. the course was a winding one. i was doing fair and had decided i would have some gu at mile 9. after a struggle with getting the gu open my speed dropped considerably. after gu and a drink i came around a curve going about 5 mph and straight ahead was a good size hill about 50 yards ahead. fml. heat was not much of a factor. What would you do differently?: practice!!!! need to figure out a solution to gu on the ride. Transition 2
Comments: good transition. What would you do differently?: need to run more without socks.  Run
Comments: the run was good for the first 1.5 miles. at the first water station i had some gatorade and that didn't settle well. between the heat and the nausea i felt shot. walked for a bit, ran, no water at the 2nd station, walked. then joe came out the run me in. we walked and talked for a bit and then i ran the last 1/2 in. longest 3 miles of my life. What would you do differently?: no gatorade on the run! drink less at the end of bike. run more. Post race
Warm down: fruit at the tent. What limited your ability to perform faster: heat. Event comments: let's see what july brings! :-) Last updated: 2009-06-25 12:00 AM

Extreme Veteran 375 Middleville, MI | Subject: RE: Triceratops Tri Nice race. I am in your age group, I have a feeling we probably saw eachother out there a few times as I struggled on the run too. One thing, I know it probably seemed like a 6 hour and 30 minute race but you might want to modify your finishing time. |

When i arrived at ilra i checked out the setup and got marked. back to the car to get my 2 bags (needed a bag just for water bottles because it was like fire outside). went straight to transition and laid out all my things in order. filled my aero bottle with a little gatorade and icecubes in hopes that the it would still be cold while on the bike. i also put a wine bottle chiller on the aero bottle. didn't help. changed my clothes and hung at the tent with kristen, dave, trish, runnergirl and my boys, joe and tim.
after deciding to wear my wesuit i tried to stay in the water as long as possible to stay cool.
