Swim
Comments: Time includes T1. Was out of the water in about 7 min. Laughed to myself as I was running up the beach looking for the stupid wetsuit cord. At the Half IM last weekend I had the same problem. I think I'm going to tie an additional 10 feet of cord on that thing. Swim time was about the same as 2 weeks ago, overall time was 10 sec. slower, probably cuased I dawdled in transition looking for the wetsuit cord. Sighting wasn't great on the way back in. Seemed like I was zig zagging all the way back. Then I almost slammed into the last bouy. I took a sight and the bouy was about 2 feet in front of me. DOH. What would you do differently?: Sight better, find a longer cord for my wetsuit, or employ my kids as wetsuit strippers :) Transition 1
Bike
Comments: Just wanted to spin on the bike, not feel like I was pushing at all. Didn't know how my legs would feel on the run after the 1/2 IM last weekend, so I wanted to make sure I saved them. And the time ends up being 16 sec. faster than 2 weeks ago. Go figure. Maybe becuase I was so relaxed on the bike, and having so much fun. I basically kept it in the small ring the entire time, except for one long downhill. What would you do differently?: Have more fun next time, it obviously makes me go faster. Transition 2
Run
Comments: Time also include T2. Unbelievable how well my legs felt coming off the bike. This was the best they ever felt. Almost like I hadn't been on the bike at all. The legs came around right out of transition. The run rocked. Just cruised along at a comfortable pace the whole way, chatting with people, running with a few. Had a blast. Met up with Kathy G. on the run course. She was cruising right along as well. What would you do differently?: Have more fun, if that is possible Post race
Warm down: Had some gatorade, chatted with a few friends, met up with Kathy and checked out her ride. (Nice softride BTW). What limited your ability to perform faster: Nada. Was planning on just doing this race for fun sinc eI live so close and it's so cheap. Didn't kow how I would feel on the bike and the run after last weeks death march. And what do you know, overall time was 42 sec. faster than 2 weeks ago. I guess there is something to be said for relaxing and having fun. I think if anyone had taken a picture of me during the race, there would have been a big smile plastered on it.
