Swim
Comments: This was a self seeded, indoor pool swim. I passed one person in pool, but could have passed another. Instead I just hung back since I only had 2 laps left. I had never swam a pool tri, and didn't know what to expect. It took a long time for them to get through all the athletes--people were still getting in the pool after I finished the whole race. What would you do differently?: Pretty happy with the swim, but should have gone out a little faster. Transition 1
Comments: Again, need to get some tri shoes and learn how to get into them while riding. This really slows me down having to completely stop, swing my leg over and clip in. Bike
Comments: The course was a hillier than I had thought, and we had a head wind going out. I got passed 4 times on the bike, and passed 2. I took my corners faster than in the past, so happy with that. What would you do differently?: By far my biggest limiter is not enough time on the bike. I need to get out and ride more. Transition 2
Comments: Came back to my spot and there were bikes in the way, so took a couple seconds to push people over. What would you do differently?: Take my feet out of shoes while on bike. Run
Comments: I'm happy with my run. Last sprint I did (well, the only other one I've done), I ran the 5K in 27 minutes. I'm stoked with the 3 min improvement. Truthfully I was happy just to run at all. I'm about 90% sure I have a stress fracture in my right foot. Have an appointment Wed to check it out. It was killing me, but I wasn't willing to sit this race out. I'm stupid like that. Had a nice little sprint to the finish the last quarter mile. What would you do differently?: Try to be healthier and quit ignoring pains for so long before going to the doctor. Post race
Warm down: Walked around, ate banana, drank some water. Had a hamburger and lounged in the sun with the wife and dog. What limited your ability to perform faster: Limited bike training, foot, and limited training in general. I just came back from a 2.5 week vacation in France last weekend and was only able to do very limited training while over there. Event comments: Great race. The pool swim isn't my favorite, but I'd for sure do it again. Last updated: 2005-05-01 12:00 AM

Woke up at 5, ate normal AM shake (oatmeal, blueberries, yogurt, milk, whey protein), had a cup of coffee. Took my time as I only live a mile away from the site. Got to transition a little late, so real estate was hard to come buy. Racks were assigned, but not spots.
