Swim
Comments: Started out good but goggles fogged up. After first buoy I couldn't see the next and had to slow down several times to look. I started passing people after the 3rd buoy. On the leg to shore I had no idea if I was going towards the swim exit since it was marked up the beach. I heard people yelling go left but didn't know if it was directed to me. Fortunately, I landed in the right spot. What would you do differently?: Spit in goggles and clean them up right before swim. Transition 1
Comments: Didn't leave shoes on bike due to uphill start and short run to start. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Bike
Comments: this was tough. It was hard to judge race effort since I didn't know the course. I held back a little on the first loop. The uphills were slow and downhills fast, except there were a lot of turns so I couldn't build up that much speed. What would you do differently?: Attack harder on second loop. Transition 2
Comments: Had to stop and pee, lucky the rest room was right there. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Run
Comments: My right calf hurt from the start, even after all the PT. I knew it would be a long run because my pace was slow. The steep hills, up & down, didn't make it feel any better. My left thigh cramped at about mile 2-1/2, probably from favoring the right leg. I stopped and walked 2 x's for about 20-30 seconds each time. I figure my pace was probably 45 sec to 1 min slower than normal. What would you do differently?: Better stretching routine during training to prevent injuries. Post race
Warm down: Not much, some slow walking. Took shoes off because my left heel was sore and discovered a BIG blister. What limited your ability to perform faster: Injury. Event comments: Great venue. Volunteers extremely friendly and helpful. Packet pick up very disorganized and slow, but locale, volunteers, and post race made up for it. Sharon & I met Flyboy at the pre-race party Saturday night. It is great meeting up with other BT'ers at these races. Last updated: 2005-02-14 12:00 AM
