Swim
Comments: I was a little disappointed in the swim. My goal was to swim it in 35 min. I was alot more comfortable in this OW swim than my first on in Eugene in May. What would you do differently?: I need to become a better navigator and learn to site better. In my opinion, that was my biggest problem. Transition 1
Comments: I was very dizzy while trying to pull off the suit. Everything else went fine. What would you do differently?: Just be faster! Bike
Comments: I had a good ride and beat many Elite riders. My stomach muscles cramped up after about 15 miles and then went away for awhile. What would you do differently?: Maybe I should have backed off a bit on the descent into Sunriver to get my legs ready for the run. I was having too much fun passing people. Transition 2
Comments: Better transition than T1. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Run
Comments: Tough, Tough, Tough! I came off the bike and hit a 6:15 mile and felt OK and then my gluts tightened up and my stomach muscles cramped. I layed down on the course and tried to stretch with no success. I stopped every few minutes until I met up with a runner and tried to go with him. He was friendly and we talked, which helped get my mind off the pain. At mile 6 my gluts felt better, but my stomach cramps were killing me. My new friend took off and I jogged with pain until the finish. This was probably my toughest run in my life. I was coming in thinking the running leg would be as strong as my bike, but not today. What would you do differently?: I need to find out what is causing the muscles to cramp. Post race
Warm down: None What limited your ability to perform faster: 1. Stomach muscle cramps 2. Gluts cramping 3. Poor navigation during the swim 4. Experience in all areas Event comments: I'm already thinking about next year. I probably overtrained for this event. Last updated: 2005-06-28 12:00 AM

Age Group = 35-39
Age Group Rank = 6/93
From Motel 6 in Bend, OR, Sandy, Linda, Robert, Isaac, and myself drove to Starbucks for a coffee stop and then to T2 to drop off shoes, gel, and race number. We then drove to Lake Wickiup.
I pumped up my tires and laid out T1.
I test drove my bike to make sure everything was in order. By 8:30, I had my wetsuit on and was in the lake.
