Swim
Comments: I felt really good on this swim. I wanted to beat my teim from last year of 33 min. Did that. I swam the entire leg, never had to stop or flip over once. I was very proud of that! I love this swim it is so relaxed compared to mass swim starts. I felt like i could just get in and swim, not fight for my place. I did start to regret not being able to eat earlier though cuz my stomach started growling. What would you do differently?: Well, i did what i wanted to do on this one. Just neeed to be faster in the water overall. Transition 1
Comments: this is a long run up from the river, but i ran the whole time. Took a few extra seconds to dry off and make sure my Gu chomps were opened in my bike box so i could eat on the bike. What would you do differently?: umm, not sure. I usually take a little extra time in T1 cuz it is harder for me to get my helmet and stuff on. Bike
Comments: Well i wanted to beat my time from last year but i think i tied it. There was no rain, but still a little timid on down hills. None the elss i was happy enough with my performce. What would you do differently?: I really need to do more bike training if i want to get faster. Transition 2
Comments: this was on par with other T2's. What would you do differently?: Not much Run
Comments: Well this is always my sore spot. My legs were tired at this point whcih made running tougher. My feet were hurting from the blisters that were forming with the rain getting into my shoes. PLus i had to stop and pee. I can run pertty well standalone, but off the bike, i am lucky to survive it. What would you do differently?: Not sure what i need to do except learn to get the lead out and HTFU. Post race
Warm down: found the NAMC tent, got some gatorade, went to take a quick shower then off to Big river for recovery meal and drinks. What limited your ability to perform faster: I think just time in the saddle and doing brick workouts. I was happy enough witht this race. Although i beat my time from last year by 12 min, i would like to see some fitness improvements. Event comments: Team Magic puts on a great race! THis is by far the best organized race i have ever done and gets better ever year. Last updated: 2009-04-22 12:00 AM
