Swim
Comments: I wish for once I could get myself into the current to get some free speed. I know that the current is better by the buoys, but every year I still seem to swim closer to shore. Oh well. Good swim overall. What would you do differently?: Swim by the buoys and maybe push a little more. Transition 1
Comments: Better than last year and this is a big transition area, so this is not too bad. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Bike
Comments: Felt good and strong on the bike and passed a lot of people and got passed by very few. Kept waiting for some of the other guys from NAMC to come roaring by, but managed to hold them off, so I felt good about that. There were some random big gusts of wind on the way back in from the front coming in that pushed me around a little. Lost my water bottle on one of the massive gaps on one of the bridges, so I didn't get to take in as much liquid as I would have liked. What would you do differently?: Not a whole lot really. I think I pushed just hard enough to have a good ride and still have enough left for the run. Transition 2
Comments: Had to move the trashbag off the running shoes since I had covered them as I wasn't in the mood for a repeat of last year (shoeless joe blackmon :)) What would you do differently?: Nothing. Run
Comments: First 4.5 miles or so were good, but just started feeling the push on the bike in the last couple. Just held on as much as I could, but couldn't quite get the elusive sub 8 run on an Oly. I guess 7.99678 minutes per mile is techincally sub 8, but the whole rounding thing just doesn't work in my favor. What would you do differently?: I would like to say I would hold back a little on the bike to have enough to finish the run strong, but I think I actually picked up more time on the bike than if I had held back. Post race
Warm down: Get lots of water. Stretch. Watch NAMC folks come in, then for a quick shower and more stretching and water. What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing. Event comments: Always like this race. It is a big race atmosphere for just an oly. I really enjoy this whole setup. If only they could find a more interesting bike course. ;) Last updated: 2009-06-16 12:00 AM
