 Swim
Comments: i had no idea what i was doing...this was my first tri..i freestyled for about the first 10m and then backstroked the rest of the way....wasnt too bad, but after that i was bound and determined to learn how to freestyle...if found Terry Laughlin's TI videos on BT and studied them and practiced at the pool....today was my long swim for the week and i did 1525m in 32min....what a difference TI made for me! i am so excited about my next race in Katy! What would you do differently?: watched the TI videos before :)....too bad i signed up 2 days before the race( i was talked into it) i am so glad because i am hooked now!  Transition 1
Comments: i was just happy to be out of the water! it didnt feel that long...but i guess it was....downed a 5hr energy and i was on my way...  Bike
Comments: was just happy to be riding in a race....except i kept hearing "on your left, on your left" hahaha :) What would you do differently?: not rode my WIFE'S MOUNTAIN BIKE!....true story! since i am hooked now, i have since bought a Scott S50 road bike...really cool! Transition 2
Comments: was happy to be off bike and made it thru the course...thought the transition went well..  Run
Comments: mile 1 was tough....mile 2 felt better(except for the bridge), mile 3 felt good....my pace was around 11min range the first 2 miles and around 9min the third....found some energy around 2.5...must have been the hammer gel :) Post race
Warm down: met my friends that were in the race, grabbed a banana and water,strecthed What limited your ability to perform faster: only about 4 days of training :) Event comments: this was my first, and definately wont be my last!!!! Profile Album Last updated: 2009-09-05 12:00 AM

Tri On the Run
Sunny

Age Group = 33
Age Group Rank = 14/14
got up at 4:30am....had coffee and toast with peanut butter and honey...had about a 45 min drive to race site....listened to my ipod music on the way to calm my 1st time tri nerves....
didnt have a chance to warm up...my friend who talked me into doing this race had a flat on his bike...tried to patch it...didnt hold...he ended up borrowing a bike from a friend of ours who's girlfriend was in the race...thank god he had his bike in the back of his truck....
