Swim
Comments: Enjoyed the swim minus all the people on the way back. It was a zoo. I don't think I took 2 strokes in a row with out hitting someone. I bet I was significantly slower on the way back than the way out What would you do differently?: Think about pacing for CDA Transition 1
Comments: I wasn't in a rush. I got my socks on, sucked down some gel and moved out What would you do differently?: maybe run a little faster in t1 Bike
Comments: I really enjoyed the ride minus crashing at about mile 20-22. I had to swerve to miss a guy and ended up hitting a cone sent me over the handle bars. Real bummer. Lots of road rash, maybe a bruised rib and a trip to medical after the race for some stitches on a finger. The rig was ok after straightening out the handle bars and the fork. I got it rolling pretty quickly. Arm warmers make good band-aids.... back to the race I think the hills were what I expected. I just shifted down and ate the 6 mph but kept the heart rate no more than 5 bpm above target. Good IM pace. I'll keep it! What would you do differently?: Not crash Transition 2
Comments: Needed to get help from volunteer to not reopen cut hand What would you do differently?: Not crash...I've said that before Run
Comments: Got a little caught up in spectacle of the whole race and not sure if I screwed up my nutrition. I think that I did because I just couldn't go faster and my heart rate was lower but just couldn't go any more. I wonder if I border on hyponutrimeia (too much water and not enough electrolytes). It wasn't horrible but I couldn't raise my heart rate. I'm going to try some extra elctrolytes. I was sweating a lot more than I usually did in SoCal heat compared to the Colorado Winter. two minutes off of a run PR What would you do differently?: Race my race - no efforts above 165 (top of zone 2) and let the chips fall where they may. Watch my nutrition closely. Post race
Warm down: trip to the med tent for clean up and 3 stitches in right index finger What limited your ability to perform faster: Crashing Event comments: I'll do it again hopefully in 2012 and 2013! I don't recommend crashing Last updated: 2009-10-18 12:00 AM
