Swim
Comments: Did not settle in for the first 3rd of the swim, dissapointed at the way I swam and my performance. I know I could have done better. They announced that you could have a warm up swim, but then the race didn't start for another 15 minutes before my wave went out. It was too lomg paddling in the water. What would you do differently?: Relax and focus more on the task at hand. Transition 1
Comments: Took a long time in T1 trying to get my wetsuit of my ankles. At one point I was stepping on one side trying to get the other side off. I stuck my hand down the one leg to try and force it off, not realizing that it was my timing chip I was wrestling with. Took too long getting my feet into the clips after mounting the bike. What would you do differently?: Practice wetsuit removal and gettiing on the bike more quicker. Bike
Comments: My first problem was with using the disk wheel, this meant that I had no way of knowing my speed or cadence, you can't mount a magnet on a disk wheel. I tried using double sided velcro which flew off with the first 2 minutes. I almost had to come to a stop at the turn around which resulted in a charlie horse in my right calf. I could barely gear back up without pain at every turn. I had to build back slowly until I could handle the pace. Dissapointing. What would you do differently?: Get a wireless cat eye. Transition 2
Comments: Seemed to go okay with no surprises. Run
Comments: Was really worried that my calf muscle would sieze up again, I ran at an even pace the whole time without pushing it. What would you do differently?: I would have pushed the run if my leg wasn't sore from the bike. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: My ability to focus. Last updated: 2005-06-19 12:00 AM

Got up early and ate bagel with peanut butter and jam, tea, banana, granola, power bar and some cookies. I always have a big appetite. I can eat chilli on the start line. (Cast iron stomach)
Had a free active release message. Wasn't really impressed with the technique, but it was fast and easy.
