 Swim
Comments: Out to first buoy went well, at each buoy had problems circling the buoy. Navigation was dead on. I don't think I could have swam a straighter line to each buoy. Did draft occasionally, but it was hard to see the the swimmmer and continue to draft. I would get out of balance at each buoy and it became hard to start moving again. About 1/2 the way through each lap I would regain my form (or what is of it) and start doing better. The beach exit had lots of rocks which made it difficult to run into the water and onto the beach. Swim to transition area run time of 1:58 What would you do differently?: Draftting skills could be improved. Open water swimming balance could be improved. Maintained head too high.  Transition 1
Comments: Swim to trans run time of 1:58 Transition 1:44  Bike
Comments: Biking went fairly well except for the drafting penalty. What would you do differently?: Maintain head down aero position longer. Transition 2
Comments: Missed bike rack by one lane, had to run around.  Run
Comments: I hate double loops. After getting off the bike, the quads were sooo sore, I knew that just keep moving forward was the only option I had. Was just determined to not walk. Slow I did run, but I never walked. Post race
Warm down: Walked around, took in 4 scoops Recoverite total. What limited your ability to perform faster: Soreness in quadracepts from volunteering the day before. Event comments: Forgot aerobottle, but drank out of rear cage bottle well, just not enough. Race time is inclusive of 2:00 penalty. Goal time was a sub 2:45. In pre-race training bricks, I was able to accomplish a sub 9:00 minute mile pace. That would have put me closer to my goal time, had my legs been able to handle the speed. My swim was off my projected goal time of 0:36 by 4 minutes. The first trans took an extra minute longer than planned. Improvements in these areas will put me closer to my goal time, next time around. http://www.nokiasugarbowltriathlon.com/ Profile Album Last updated: 2004-11-13 12:00 AM

| Online or Offline | Subject: RE: Nokia Sugar Bowl Triathlon - New Orleans That'll teach you not volunteer for the "much needed" body marking at an all-girl triathlon! (kidding) Impressive job navigating on the swim! 80+ degree water temps?? LUCKY! Killer bike split - if you'd gotten 10 penalties, I still wouldn't have been able to catch up with you (hell, if you DQ'd I still probably wouldn't have caught up with you!). Way to hang in there and continuing to run when your quads were telling you otherwise! (OK I've showed up at the wrong jetbridge before, so I won't laugh at you going to the wrong bike rack!) Even though you didn't hit your goal, it still sounds like there were many good points to your race. (but is Joann going to have to make sure you pack all your stuff for the bike now?!) Keep up the great training & racing! Ahhhhhh Recoverite - it does a body good! Good stuff! |

Master 2314  Gulf Shores, AL | Subject: RE: Nokia Sugar Bowl Triathlon - New Orleans I am bummed I didn't meet you and your wife. Funny thing, my wife is the lady you are chasing up the hill in that last picture (light blue top). I made a similiar mistake on working at the Girl Power. I didn't volunteer but I was supporting 4 ladies and then acting as photographer. I ran around way too much and my feet were wasted when I got home Saturday evening. You did a great race and had a really awesome bike split. The run felt so hot today, must be the humidity right. Congrats and hope to meet you at another event. Hopefully we will be racing Abitaman on the North Shore next Sunday. Ken |

Wife, Mother, Friend. 2457 South | Subject: RE: Nokia Sugar Bowl Triathlon - New Orleans great race... they don't have the penalties listed.  I'd love to come down around to LA/MS and do a race... I have plenty of family in that area. We considered moving to Mandeville a few years ago after hubby got a job offer there, but it wasn't enough though. |

Volunteered the day before for the GirlPower Tri, which turned out to be a BIG mistake. We did the body marking and timing chip retreval. We were contstanly bending down which wore out our Quads. Didn't start to realize this until late that night.
Hoped on the bike for a quick spin. Swam out to last buoy and back.
