Swim
Comments: Time wasn't so good. No wetsuit but I didn't think it would make that much of a difference. Stayed right on course the whole time with one minor slip up. Maybe not enough OWS with no wetsuit. What would you do differently?: More OWS. Transition 1
Comments: Pretty tired after the swim. What would you do differently?: My shoes aren't really easy to get in. Maybe some new ones at some point. Bike
Comments: A personal best, so I'm not gonna bitch. My chain came off about halfway through the race costing me a minute or two. Due to the hills it was tough to get into a good rhythm. Oh yeah and my cadence meter didn't work so I had to wing it. What would you do differently?: Train more. Transition 2
Comments: About the same What would you do differently?: I saw someone with elastic instead of laces in their shoes. Maybe I can rig something up. Run
Comments: My calf cramped up at the end of the bike and carried over to the run. I had to walk for about 1/4 mile before I could get running. I finished strong though. What would you do differently?: Drink some more water maybe have some electrolytes to avoid the leg cramps. Post race
Warm down: Drank a lot of water. No food What limited your ability to perform faster: I ate way to much for breakfast. I felt like I had a rock in my stomach halfway through the bike. I didn't take in enough water on the bike and started to cramp up at the end of the bike. Better attention to nutrition should help this. Plus more training. :) Event comments: I wish we would have started a lot earlier. It was light out at 6a and the olympic didn't start until 7:30. There was a 2 hour break until we started at 9:30. We could have been wrapped up and finished by then if we would have stated at 7:30. Other than that a lot of fun. Really nice people there. Last updated: 2009-07-02 12:00 AM
