Swim
Comments: Oceans swims are tough! By the time I got to the first buoy I was still with the main pack but I was totally out of breath and had to let them go. After making the turn the 450 meter leg went by fast but I really never got into a good stroke. What would you do differently?: Pay attention on the last turn. I washed 50 yard further down the beach than I wanted. I just did not have alot left to fight the current that was pushing me. Transition 1
Comments: T1 time is included with the first bike segment time. What would you do differently?: Learn how to swim so I could breathe in T1. Bike
Comments: I like this course but wish it could have been ridden all at once. What would you do differently?: Would not change much. Transition 2
Comments: T2 time included with run 1 time. What would you do differently?: Nothing Run
Comments: Was not so happy with first segment but very happy with last segment (9:30 including transition time). The last time would have put me pretty close to my goal of an 8 min. mile What would you do differently?: Not cruise quite as much on the first run segment. Post race
Warm down: Walking around drinking Powerade. What limited your ability to perform faster: The swim. I was unprepared for how much effort the swim took. And I hate running on sand. Event comments: I would give this a higher rating if not for the run. The swim being tough could change from day to day but sand running is not needed. I would like to do this race again. The double bike/run format is sort of cool. Last updated: 2005-05-20 12:00 AM
