Swim
Comments: As soon as I started swimming, I knew this tri would take longer than I hoped. My legs just felt very dead and tired from all the previous training I've been doing. The chick I was sharing a lane with torched me on the swim. I passed her on the bike, though. :-) There were no split times, so all times are based on my stopwatch. What would you do differently?: Rest / taper more, and obviously swim more. Transition 1
Comments: A very quick T1 for me, since all I really had to do was put my socks and shoes and helmet on. There were no split times, so all times are based on my stopwatch. Bike

Comments: Pretty quick for me. Bike shoes off, running shoes on. My shoes are still fairly new and kinda stiff, so I lost a few seconds fiddling with them. There were no split times, so all times are based on my stopwatch. Run

Warm down: Grabbed a powerade and a cup of water. What limited your ability to perform faster: Tired, dead legs. Event comments: The swim start could have been better organized. They started the slow swimmers first, but it was all self reported so many fast swimmers lied about their time and went in the opening waves. I'm not a good swimmer, but was still in one of the VERY last waves. I got to the event around 6:15, and didn't start swimming until around 9:05. Three hours is a long time to wait for an even that took me roughly an hour! Last updated: 2009-08-17 12:00 AM
