 Swim
Comments: i had a tough time getting into my groove. I had a lot of nervous energy throughout the entire swim, and i could not settle myself down. What would you do differently?: get some more open water swims.  Transition 1
Comments: wasn't a great T1, first race of the season, haven't got my routine down as of yet.  Bike
Comments: i was hoping to do better on this course, i think i underestimated this course. i put in the same this year as i did last year, so i don't know if that's good or bad. I though when i got off the bike i had a worse time then i did. What would you do differently?: need to add more hill training. Transition 2
Comments: nothing fancy here, could have been faster, but who couldn't...  Run
Comments: Well the run is with out a doubt my worse leg of the triathlon. This off season i have been focused on trying to improve my run, now i know i am not going to pump out a 7 min mile or anything during a race, but every little bit helps. This year i improved my run time my 6 mins!!! How great is that?? This first 2 miles i didn't feel great, around mile 3 i felt much better after a long up hill, the course flatned out a little bit and i was able to pick up my pace, and i carried this comfortable pace to the finish. What would you do differently?: i can't say i would do anything different, other than try to run faster, i am so happy with my run time... Post race
Warm down: took part in the post race activities.. What limited your ability to perform faster: I had a bad swim and bike.. Event comments: the day before the race i did a pre ride and got a flat about 2 miles from the transation, as i started to walk back, a fellow triathlete and his wife, pulled over and drove me back to the transation area. His name was Mike and he was from VA. I can't thank him enough. Last updated: 2005-04-15 12:00 AM

And that's awesome that you shaved that much time off of your run on a very tough course.| 2005-05-23 9:45 AM in reply to: #161588 |

I ate some pop tarts, check my gear to make sure everything was in order, talk to my fellow racers.
no warm up, you can't get your bike out of T1/T2, and they would not let you enter the water until about 5-6 mins before your wave.
