Swim
Comments: My swimming is faster than this..... I was dissapointed when I finish the swim and saw my watch... i should have done that swim in one or two minutes faster... Gosh what am I saying.... it was great... What would you do differently?: I will definitly would like to avoid the mess at the beginning... next time I will start at the sides... and swim hard for the first 200 meters to get a good head start Transition 1
Comments: Need to practice more transitioning.. I felt today that I was way too slow on the first transition... about 3 min+ What would you do differently?: practice more Bike
Comments: A great race... I felt very safe on the road... Traffic was detoured as to leave the road for the event alone... It was great. What would you do differently?: Not much.... just try to reduce my transition time from swim to bike Transition 2
Comments: This transition was good... I think I did it quite fast.. What would you do differently?: not much Run
Comments: I started fast.... I found a guy who was very comfortable and fast and I just stick to his heels. I knew he was running fast and I tried to keep up... I knew I could hold that pace for at least 2 miles... but I eneded up keeping up with him all the way to the end.. At the end he sprinted and there was no way I was going to keep up then... He paced me well and I am just glad I could keep up with him. We passed lots of people and I did not get passed by anybody on my age group.... I passed several though.... What would you do differently?: on th run.. nothing much.... but I would have liked to swim faster.. Post race
Warm down: walking and consuming lots of fluids... and try to keep moving until my heart rate went really down... I felt good after the race What limited your ability to perform faster: My swim... I think I shouold have finished at least 5 min faster should I have swam better and transition better... But hey... next time... Event comments: This race was definitly one of the best I have seen. They had plenty of volunteers, great support and everything was on time. Everybike had its pre-assigned spot and the transition area was carpeted and there was plenty of space to do everything needed... Last updated: 2005-05-07 12:00 AM

Got up early 4:30am, ate a peanut butter sanwich and a cup of coffee with a poptar.. Took my time to go over everything I needed (I prepared everything the night before). Loaded up my car and took of for the triathlon site (1 hour away). I started driving and then I realize that the stupid highway was going to be closed for the weekend. I had to stop and try to devise another way to get there. I was getting a little nervous, cuz I got up early in order to make in time and now it seems that I was going to cut it short... AGAIN.
Finally got there and set up my transition area... It was nice... all bikes had a pre-assiged spot.. Therefore I did not have to fight for a little piece of real state...
Jumping up and down and trying to get everything ready.. I could not warm up properly... lack of time. They closed the transition area and herded us to the water... There were a total of 12 waves... i was in wave 9....
