 Swim
Comments: This was a good swim despite getting kicked in the faec a few times and having to get out and run to the start of a new lap. What would you do differently?: be better prepared for the race. The swim was fine  Transition 1
Comments: Transition was fine. The wetsuit is falling apart and the damn thing has always stuck on my heels. Why doesn't anyone make a wetuit with zippers on the calves? What would you do differently?: Nothing.  Bike
Comments: This is where things went to pieces. Good start and just was passed up left and right. Got pushed off the track. Had to stop a few times. it was aweful. Pretty much blew up. Not enough water and the hills heat killed me. What would you do differently?: Not get on a mountain bike. Transition 2
Comments: Knocked a bike off the rack trying to rack my bike. I knew I was finished so I made sure that the bike I knocked off was set back up. Wife grabbed me a gel. I was a little delirious so I forgot--->The water that I needed. What would you do differently?: Get the water and dump it on my head.  Run
Comments: I actually passed some people. I did not figure out it was the heat until about three mile in. Dumped some water on my head a couple of times and low and behold. I can ruyn and keep a good pace. What would you do differently?: Make sure that I do not overheat. This was my fault I did not have anough water on the bike course nor the run. Post race
Warm down: Grabbed some water right away and found some shade What limited your ability to perform faster: Water and heat. I should have been better prepared. Last updated: 2010-01-19 12:00 AM

I was very unorganized. Ran up to pick up packet. I am not a big fan of packet pick right before the race. There was a lot I did not know about the race until right before. When I was getting ready fo rthe start we were told while in the water that the course swim was two laps. Not that two laps is a big deal. It is just that I was not aware. I am a mental case and need to be ready for these things. Just me.
Ran the sim to transition to get a feel where my bikle was in the rack. Got in a spalshed around a bit. It was freaking hot.
