Swim
Comments: felt good the whole swim. Not a record breaking swim but I seemed to be breathing well and sighted very well the 2nd half. I actually made it past the half way point before the fastest swimmer from wave 9 caught me. What would you do differently?: still need to work on my navigation skills. learned a new trick about sighting from the side and just keeping the angles. Thisseemed to work better today but I still need to work on it a bit. Transition 1
Comments: this was a really long transition area and not just how much time I spent there my bike seemed like 2 blocks away from the swim exit. Anyway I did good getting the wet suit off and ready for the bike. Bike
Comments: Seemed to do pretty good on the bike, when I 1st drove the course Friday I thought the steepness of the hills and the total number ofthe hills was going to make for a long day. As it turned out the hills weren't so bad. In fact seemed to be having a fun ride, the number of bikes on the course made it a little more challenging but kept youfrom getting bored. I actually eased up on some of the hills to make sure I had some steam left for the run. Transition 2
Comments: got off the bike good, the long time in T2 was because of the length of the transition area and I walked a bit in T2 due to a little pain in the lower back off the bike. the pain was gone by the time I hit the timing pad for the run. Run
Comments: Actually ran the race without having to walk, milestone for me. I felt like I had a lot in the tank when the run was over. Ran slow and easy and my time shows it but more importantly I could have done another 6.2 What would you do differently?: keep working on my running, I'm starting to get tired of counting the hundreds of people passing me on the run. Post race
Warm down: None to speak of just drank some juice and ate a couple of oranges. stretched some as well. What limited your ability to perform faster: The run is really my limiter. All I can do is keep working on my weight lose and my running. Event comments: For some reason only my T2, run and finishing times are displayed on the results page so I had to rely on my stop watch/HRM readings for the other times whiched matched the displayed times as well.

woke at 4:20AM to choke down a little oat meal w/ banana's and wait for my brother to get up. He rolls out of bed 10mins later and we are off.
did some light stretching but mainly tried to stay calm. 5 minutes before the start of my wave(8) I entered the water for swim light warm-up
