Hadn't been swimming too much over the last month or so and definitley felt out of it.

Need to get serious about swim training volumes and intensity if I really want to improve. Masters might be the way to go.

Forgot to center my brakes before racking bike. Shows you how focused on this race I was. Still, had the 4th fastest of the day.

Definitely make sure brakes are good and bike is in right gear, etc.

Hadn't been riding much at all. Just one long ride on weekend with two trainer sessions during the week. Felt like I road about as well as I could have. Legs are missing power.

Stopped when I saw MLK at a corner sans bike. He had a flat but the R-tard forgot a spare tube. He did have 3 CO2s though!

Train harder

Lost a shoe coming need. Lces continue to take a few extra seconds. Ranked 18th overall

Tighten cleats

Ran well considering I hadn't been running much other than to take Charlie for an easy jog or training w/jessi. Did have to stop about .5 miles in to take a rock out of my shoe.

Ensure feet are clean of major debris before putting on shoes

Walked around, had a coke, chips, beans and rice. Yum


Training. Raced about as fast as I could given current fitness. I learned from Bandits that even if I'm having a 'bad race' not to give up. Just go as hard as I can on that day and it won't be that bad.


Set-up always does great. could have used about 200 more athletes though!
