Swim
Comments: I was still coughing up lungs all week and missed all but 1 of my workouts so needless to say, I was feeling incredibly flat, drained, and not ready to race. What would you do differently?: not get sick. Transition 1
Comments: Man, I was ready to rock the bike after that mediocre swim but didn't feel like I was on top of my game. cough, cough... Bike
Comments: I couldn't get down enough water. I was CONSTANTLY thirsty. I think I was just dehydrated from being under the weather all week. I was pissing light yellow all week so I don't know what was up. I knew it wasn't going to be a good bike time when in the first 5 miles my legs were taxed from hammering already. Many my body did NOT want to race today that's for sure...and it was leeting me know it. Transition 2
Comments: this T2 was a little better than T1 but I was so worried about my health and not running my body into the ground today since I'm going into my 2nd to last 3-week build for IMWI. Run
Comments: man, after a mile of doing my regular "race pace" I knew I was gonna blow a gasket if I didn't slow down. my body just wasn't in any condition to be redlining it. so I ended up going at my training pace (about zone 2) for the rest of the run. basically a jog pace. What would you do differently?: I probabaly wouldn't have raced as hard on the bike and just took the race day as a nice easy training day but it's so hard to not be competitive. my body would have faired much better if I just took it easy and kept the big "IMWI" trng picture in mind. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: my health...short and simple. Last updated: 2005-06-28 12:00 AM
