Swim
Comments: Water was rough and was tough to sight at times. I was in no man's land most of the time so no drafting help. I was between the leaders and the rest of the men the entire swim. What would you do differently?: Go out a little harder and try to hang with the leaders a bit longer. Transition 1
Comments: No problems with transition. I did not practice transitions as planeed due to being violently ill on Friday and Saturday. What would you do differently?: Nothing except do some transition practice before the race. Bike
Comments: I dropped my chain going over the bridge. My fault, I waited too long to gear down. Put it back on mid bridge and still got over it rather quickly. Took it easy with the headwinds and tried to reserve my energy for the tailwind portions. Started too lose my steam about half way through due to my stomach funk. What would you do differently?: Not much really. I did all I could considering my condition from the stomach problems all weekend. Transition 2
Comments: Felt the stomach problems as soon as I headed out. Smooth transition. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Run
Comments: Felt horrible from start to finish. Stopped sweating at mile 2 and got the goose bumps. Not good. I was intent on finishing, so I slogged through the miles. I was so disappointed as my run is so much improved. My last open 10K was 44 and change so obviously, I was not happy with an hour+ 10K. I watched the people pass me by on the run that I have beat all winter in the run races and I felt worse with each one. I finally got to the finish line and kept running straight to the bathroom. 10 minutes later I emerged to see my beautiful wife and 2 daughters waitng for me. My oldest daughter said, "Good job daddy! You finished". That brought a smile to my face. What would you do differently?: Not have gotten sick!! Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: STOMACH FUNK!! Event comments: Good race. I wish the swim distance would have been a little more accurate so I could have a better gauge of my swim fitness. Overall a good race. I wish I could have "raced" it more. Last updated: 2010-03-12 12:00 AM
