 Swim
Comments: Started good, but felt very sluggish half way through. No one passed me and I passed two people in front. What would you do differently?: No idea what caused my sluggishness.  Transition 1
Comments: Should skip socks for the ssprints. Tough time getting clipped in. What would you do differently?: Practice clipping in on an uphill. Drop the socks  Bike
Comments: Bike went great. Had a little difficulty keep in aero position as my neck was stiff. Never passed and passed a lot of people. What would you do differently?: Ride more long distance to acclimate my neck muscles. Transition 2
Comments: Just need to move faster  Run
Comments: Started better than usual. I worked on riding in a lower gear at the end of the back and stretching my back, seemed to help as I started faster than usual. About 1 mile in got a bad side stitch. Had to walk a little twice. Got passed twice. Estimate I lost 2 minutes because of the walking. What would you do differently?: More brick workouts. Post race
Warm down: None really. What limited your ability to perform faster: Forgot to take any caffeine before the race! Last updated: 2009-04-21 12:00 AM

Master 2436 Apex, north carolina | Subject: RE: The BASF Smile Train Triathlon Great job out there. I have found that dropping to a lower gear and uping the cadance for the last mile or so before the run really helps the legs. You did SWBKRUNMG proud! See ya at Triangle. |

Champion 7163 Verona WI--Ironman Bike Country! | Subject: RE: The BASF Smile Train Triathlon Doug Over 20mph on the bike? holy cats, you are fast. Great job. Sidestitch's are a bummer. Given how quickly it started, I am guessing it was either from bike posture crushing your diaphram or something you drank late in the bike. Suzy |
