 Swim
Comments: Like I previously mentioned, I obviously need more experience in the wetsuit. I will practice that and try to figure out what went wrong. This set the tempo for my race, and that tempo was bad. What would you do differently?: Gain more experience in wetsuit swimming.  Transition 1
Comments: Transition went well. Wetsuit slowed me down, but not that badly. What would you do differently?: Have a towel for my feet in the future.  Bike
Comments: This was a good course, in my opionion, and the bike was very well behaved. I found this a pleasant ride, but failed to heed my own advice and tried to hammer a little to much. What would you do differently?: I need to constantly stay vigilant of cadence and speed. I AM IN THIS AGAINST ME NOT THE OTHER RIDERS, right? Transition 2
Comments: Again, had a good transition. Got to the rack and changed over relatively quickly. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Run
Comments: Ok, like I said, my run sucked. The first hot day of the year (really) fell right on my head and subsequently destroyed my run. I will definitely be more prepared for the 10K next week, and I really ID'd some important factors to my running, so bad as it was, I found the light here. Also, I had a BLAST! What would you do differently?: Stop being a wuss when I get hot. No seriously, I need to run outside A LOT more, and that is an easy fix, because I have an outside right here!! Cool. Post race
Warm down: Got a snazzy mooseman Tri towel with accompanying cool water. That was a life saver and felt really good when I really needed it. What limited your ability to perform faster: Cold water and Hot road. I was beaten by mother nature today. No worries though, I will be back... Event comments: What a good time! I didn't do as well as I would have liked, but hey, I had a good time and I finished my first solo Oly, so any day that I can say that is AWESOME. Now, back to the training board...

Elite Veteran 781 | Subject: RE: Mooseman 1/4 IM You really did hammer the bike! Good for you. When the weather changes (for you today, for me tomorrow at my race), I think all you can do it get through the run. It isn't like any of us have been training at these higher temps. Great job! |

Expert 1152 wrightsville beach, North Carolina | Subject: RE: Mooseman 1/4 IM Way to go mike!!!! Sounds like a tough course and a *HOT* day. Must have been quite a difference between the cold water and the hot air. Now ...if the swim was after the run or biek. Congrats on your first solo oly!! |

Master 1557 Maine | Subject: RE: Mooseman 1/4 IM Great work, especially on the bike. It was fun passing all those flatlanders and getting cheered on by the devil lady. I must have seen you on the run - I was looking for fellow AG'ers (30-34), and you must have been one of the ones with the Team Javelin uniforms, right? Anyway, nice work on the race, it was definitely a fun one. -Rob |

| Online or Offline | Subject: RE: Mooseman 1/4 IM Great job keeping your cool on the swim and not allowing yourself to talk yourself into quitting! Speaking of "knowing" you're doing better than the more unfortunate when feeling sorry for oneself during the race (I did the 1/2 today), I got passed by a couple of ambulances that were speeding in the opposite direction to a rumored cyclist that got hit; one lady ate it on that steep, sharp turning hill by the fire station towards the last 1/3rd of the loop. ("She was in the trees" So I guess we didn't do too bad, considering! CONGRATS

Good thing there were paramedics nearby in the fire house; and I would just be rude to mention the drama I saw on the second ascent of that Devil Lady's hill; and I saw some guy with a bandaged up leg who apparently munched somewhere on course too

Stayed in NH at a camp very much like the one in Friday the thirteenth. Very bizarre but had great sleep. Awoke at 5:15, dressed and had breakfast. Checked in at the race site at 6:20ish and set up transition early.
No specific warm up minus carying my Kit from my bunk house to the car which was about .3 miles. Nice.
