 Swim
Comments: Nice swim. The sun did blinded me becasue I used my comfy clear swim mask. Halfway through the swim, some jerk decided I was too slow and the best way to get past me was to go straight over the top of me. What a jerk. I can understand if this was a competative race (IM,HIM or olympic) but this was a Try-a-Tri, and quite a few novices were really terrified and strugglnig in the water. Fortunately this did not throw my swimming off much. It did piss me off though. The venue moved a few hunderd meters down the shore becasue the lake water had high bacteria count. The water was still kinda icky. What would you do differently?: Wear my tinted goggles instead of my clear swim-mask. Don't let little things upset me. Zen... Tranquillity now....  Transition 1
Comments: No T1 time in this race series... but my T1 sucked. I forgot where I put my bike and I was wearing my crappy old contact lenses. Wet suit was stuck and why did I decide I needed socks for a Tri-a-tri?  Bike
Comments: Decent bike. I was rocking and rolling until about the 9km mark - i just blew past the swimming jerk when my right calf went spastic and cramped up like a rock. I finished the last km using on leg. What would you do differently?: train more bike Transition 2
 Run
Comments: That calf made runnig a pain. I looked like a peg-leg sailor hobbling along. Post race
Warm down: Relaxed with the kids and wife. What limited your ability to perform faster: Out of shape and back over 200lbs. BUT IT FELT GOOD TO BE RACING TRIATHLONS AGAIN. Last updated: 2009-06-26 12:00 AM

This was to be my second reace since my heart surgery. Since the race two weeks earlier was a disaster, I was hoping to make ammends.
I had not trained much since the recovery.
some practice strokes in the water a few minutes before my wave
