Swim
Comments: 150 or so yds down, 25 yds across, 150 down, and 25 yds back to the dock. The 1st bouy drifted away. So I/we were well past the left turn when people in boats, kyaks, etc. were yelling for us to turn left. I haven't heard people cuss so much in the water! What would you do differently?: Dunno. Wish the bouy hadn't drifted away! Maybe push the swim a bit harder. I kept thinking, "Smooth, Smooth, Smooth." Maybe that slowed me down a bit. Hope not! Transition 1
Comments: T1 was into a run from the swim for 1.5 miles. I did fine. Had my bike gloves there so I could put them on during the run. Sox were rolled up; so they went on easy. Shoes slipped on quickly. What would you do differently?: Not much, I think I did fine. Bike
Comments: I pushed it as hard as I could on the bike. What would you do differently?: Maybe focus on the 1st mile of the bike a little more. I was trying to get my rhythm and "settle down" from the 1.5 mile run and swim. I probably could have gained some time in the 1st mile. However, I feel I pushed it pretty hard. Transition 2
Comments: Was pretty tired from the bike. I pushed as hard as I could go. Funny - there was about a 200 lb snapping turtle in the road at one point near the lake and a volunteer was out there directing the bikes around it. The turtle was right on the center lines of the road when I went by. Darn thing was huge! What would you do differently?: Okay, I walked a bit in transition, but I was really tired. What would I do differently? Um, not walk? Run
Comments: Cramped 1/2 mile from the finish. Almost have my arms around this cramping issue. Maybe. What would you do differently?: Wonder if I could have backed off of the bike, and saved a bit for this last run? Naaaaaaaaaah! Post race
Warm down: Walked around drinking water. What limited your ability to perform faster: The heat for sure. Event comments: Raced it last year, this year and will definetly do it again next year. Challenging course for sure! Last updated: 2009-05-28 12:00 AM
