 Swim
Comments: I was worried about the swim as I was seeded 48th. Fortunately the water was warm and I relaxed quickly. I keep a good line and tried to be steady. What would you do differently?: Practice more and lose weight.  Transition 1
Comments: I planned on using the race as a glorified training day. Thus a walked up the steep hill out of transition instead of running. This alone probable cost me at least 6 places overall. I found cuts on the bottoms of both feet after the race and that had to have happened there. Otherwise T1 was fine. What would you do differently?: Run  Bike
Comments: Took a couple of miles to find my rhythm. Otherwise the bike was uneventful. Oh, I caught the woman who started behind me on the swim. I told her she must be an awesome swimmer! I knew her name from the participant list and cheered her on. What would you do differently?: Treat it a little more like a race and less like training. Transition 2
Comments: Only issue was with one of my Yankz laces. The catch at the bottom was backwards. D'oh! What would you do differently?: Fix laces.  Run
Comments: Just enjoyed the run for the most part. Did not push it on the hills. What would you do differently?: Treat it a little more like a race and less like training. Maybe not stop to buy lottery tickets. Post race

Expert 1394 Wilmington, NC | Subject: RE: Triangle Orthopaedic Centennial Sprint Triathlon Sounds like a good day out there Doug. I am guessing that Avent Ferry had not improved any from our ride the week before. |
