Swim
Comments: my cross stroke sucked badly. I saw vidoe that was taken and i was doing it all wrong. No wonder i was so out of breath at the end of two laps. I just wasnt keeping my stroke ahead of me. And allowing myself to keep my legs up. Poor rotation. What would you do differently?: Practice, practice, and practice.. Transition 1
Bike
Comments: slight head wind going out for the first six miles..bumping road no doubt. Passed alot of people felt like i was flying..but at 14-15 mph..didnt feel like that. Turned at the station and headed back and i was flying..hitting speeds at 21mph..must of been the smoother road surface and no head wind. Plus i was in a good pace. Rear brake went out on me on the way out on the bike race. Easy fix for later. What would you do differently?: Get some tri shorts..my booty was hurtin.. Transition 2
Run
Comments: walked for the first quarter mile maybe..than started up and got a good pace..and ran the rest of it..without stopping. Room for more practicing on speed..otherwise good run. What would you do differently?: Just practice more endurance running. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Mostly my lack of swim practice. Just didnt get enough of it in. Need to ramp up my practices to focus on stroke more than anything. Last updated: 2010-04-26 12:00 AM

Packet pick up..got body marked, set up transition area. Received timing chip.
Hit the pool for a two lap warm up. Water was so warm but with all the bodies in the area no doubt it was warm. Got cold when you hit outside still a chill in the area due to the sun not being up quite yet.
