Swim
Comments: Started out slower than I would have liked but I was trying to draft. The pace was to slow and I ended up swimming through the sprint waves that went before us. What would you do differently?: Start off faster Transition 1
Comments: I forgot to take my wetsuit completely off until I went to put on my shoes. I also had trouble with the zipper and had to have someone else get it started. Last years T1 time was 4:42 so this was a lot better. I think mostly because I didn't walk the entire hill this year. What would you do differently?: Not have to stop to get some help with the zipper. Bike
Comments: According to my Garmin I biked 25.33 miles. I didn't start it until I was at the mount line and stopped it when I dismounted so the average pace is off. Average pace on the Garmin was 17.5. The wind wasn't as bad as last year but still there. What would you do differently?: More ride time. Again I haven't been on my bike regularly since the beginning of school. Transition 2
Comments: Had trouble with the socks. Again a better time than last years T2 of 2:58. It would have been even better without the sock problem. Also jumping off the bike without the shoes helped on time. Run
Comments: Something didn't work with the bike nutrition. I don't know if it was too much to drink because of the cool temps or the Hammer gel I had but my stomach kept feeling like it was going to bring everything back up. I also had to stop at the first aid station to use the restroom. What would you do differently?: Work on nutrition and more running. Post race
Warm down: Grabbed a coke and a PBJ. Boy did that taste good. Changed and drove back to Indiana. What limited your ability to perform faster: I was reminded by my doctor that I do have some physical limitations with my ankle when it comes to running, and he should know since he fixed it when I shattered my ankle. So I guess more mileage will help for next season. Last updated: 2009-04-07 12:00 AM

Woke up across the lake at the lodge. Had trouble falling asleep because of noisy teen-agers at the lodge and it being my first Oly distance. I hadn't been in the water since early August but that didn't worry me. I was more worried about the run. I have never been a great runner and I haven't been able to run outside since on a regular basis since the start of the school year. Treadmills are good but not the same as running outside. Ate a Cliff bar and drove around the lake in the dark and the rain. Tried to keep what I could dry in transition and waited for the rain to stop. Found a spot in the middle of the rack, the end was already taken. The water was great, it was warmer than the air. I was excited about not being cold.
No warm up
