 Swim
Comments: The swim started out well for the first 150 meters. Then I started to have form breakdowns. I flipped to BS and rotated between FS & BS the rest of the race. What would you do differently?: I need more practice and work. Considing where I was 4 weeks ago I think it went pretty well. Sight was good and I was able to sight during the BS by watching the fast swimmers in the waves behind me and using them to stay on line.  Transition 1
Comments: I thought it went well. I had everything set-up just right What would you do differently?: I would run or jog to my bike. this race I was in a daze so I walked.  Bike
Comments: I smoked the bike ride. I limited myself between two gears and really tried to keep my RPM's up. I think it worked well What would you do differently?: Keep training on speed work Transition 2
Comments: I had an excellent rack location. T-2 went very well even though I almost fell down running to T-2 exit point What would you do differently?: nothing  Run
Comments: I thought my run was really bad but I guess it was about where I had trained. What would you do differently?: I just need to keep training for the run and I think this is an area where I can improve. Post race
Warm down: Walked around some. Talked with family What limited your ability to perform faster: My lack of training on the swim & run. It will just take more time to get better overall Event comments: My first Sprint-Triathlon. I enjoyed it and look forward to racing in this event next summer. Last updated: 2009-07-14 12:00 AM

Woke up at 415, showered, ate a bagel with peanut butter. No peanut butter in the future as it gave me heartburn during the run. I drank a 12 oz SF Redbull at 5 AM. Departed house at 5 for the race & arrived at 545. Next time I will rack my bike then go get numbered. I did have an excellent rack space. Set-up of transition was good and people around me were very encouraging.
I did a little stretching & did get in the water to get a feel of the water temp.
One of the other contestants did spray my swim goggles with anti-fogging spray and it seemed to work well
