 Swim
Comments: I felt like I was having a good swim. It was hard to sight once I was on my way back. I couldn't quit tell where the end was. I figured I was close when I started to swim in the freaking jungle under the water. There was a lot of unnecessary kicking, pushing, and crowding going on. I also don't understand why a person doing such a volumonous stroke as the breast stroke would be right smack in the middle of the crowd. What would you do differently?: Nothing.  Transition 1
Comments: T1 was a little longer than I anticipated. The entrance was on the opposite side of where I thought it would be.  Bike
What would you do differently?: Nothing Transition 2
Comments: I didn't have enough to drink on the bike come to think of it and it was getting very hot. I was dying for a drink!  Run
Comments: I was starting to get kind of tired- hot and I couldn't quench my thirst even though I drank. In fact I drank too much because I got a stitch. What would you do differently?: Just rinse my mouth with water to wet it and dump the rest on my very hot body. Post race
Warm down: Lots of friendly familiar faces. Lots of fun. What limited your ability to perform faster: My fat ass. I'd love to lose it! Event comments: Great race. They really do a good job. I'd recommend it. Last updated: 2009-08-10 12:00 AM

Champion  4942     Richmond, VA | Subject: RE: West Point Triathlon Agreed on the swim leg, I felt like the swim leg was MUCH longer than 800 meters. I was having my best swim ever and felt like it took forever to get back in. That sun was hitting just right so I couldn't look up and see forward. Plus, it did really bunch up a lot in the last 100 meters, I had a lot more contact then I'm used to.
West Point is always a fun race. Great job on the bike leg - that's awesome - especially in view of that long slow uphill climb after we turned around. And hear ya on the liquid - it got HUMID very fast!

I am sooo tired, and I thought I could sleep a little later than I usually do on a race morning. Race against the clock from the minute my feet hit the floor.
Got to transition with just 4 minutes before it was set to close. I didn't realize they'd be closing transition at 745a...
I also forgot to get body marked. Oh well. I ran with my wet suit and goggle to the beach area to get ready to go with my wave.
