 Swim
Comments: Good swim. Swallowed a lot of lake water for some reason. Not big gulps, just a swallow here and there. I was faster on this swim than I anticipated. What would you do differently?: I like this swim course a lot. It just has a good flow to it. Would do nothing different except the usual. Swim more in training.  Transition 1
Comments: Average T1. I had a pretty neutral spot in Transition, so that was a bonus. What would you do differently?: Start bike with shoes on bike.  Bike
Comments: I was not happy with my bike at all. I was not mentally racing. For some reason I had this idea that I should hold back a little. In hindsight, that idea was all wrong. I had to base to push much harder and still get a strong run in. So I rate this as poor. I took my feet out of my shoes about a mile out, and that worked out great. I hope to do that in all future races. I dropped my chain and lost ~30 seconds overall. What would you do differently?: umm.. race? Transition 2
Comments: excellent T2. Can squeeze some seconds out of it, but overall, satisfied. What would you do differently?: revist the whole putting on socks for the run thing. Maybe get some tri specific running shoes with a liner. Without socks I'm in the 30's for this T and definitely one of the fastest.  Run
Comments: I love this run course. It is hard on a lot of people, but my Tuesday night training gives me a decided advantage. I can run it faster. After all, I am not in 'race' shape. My last race of any kind was in Mid July. What would you do differently?: get back to 43 Post race
Warm down: water, rest, root. What limited your ability to perform faster: Not in 'race' shape. Lack of speed work, and maybe being sick a week back. Event comments: Excellent race. Great shout out to Henry Forrest at the beginning by the race director. Tugaloo was his last race attended last year. I will be back, but not next year.. I'll be in Madison.

Master 1730 Atlanta, GA | Subject: RE: Tugaloo Olympic Triathlon Great race...your strong run is your major asset in these races. TNR would do me some good. It was good catching up with you at the race. I wanted to catch you after the race, but my body had other ideas. you can read my RR and laugh. Good luck and will see you at TNR in Oct. |

Drive up, On the road by 4:15. It's about a 100 mile drive. Goes quick.
Swim... some quick short intervals to get loose. Also ran up the hill out of transition (barefoot) to get the HR going.
