Comments: My arms felt like salami's at the beginning, but I rembered to concentrate on my form and that helped a lot.  Transition 1
Comments: I just don't care yet about my transitions. I'm concentrating on where the real time is for me. When I worry about this time, I'm getting somewhere in my racing. What would you do differently?: I had trouble getting my gloves on. Perhaps I should just skip them next time  Bike
Comments: I can do better than this, but I'm so afraid of bonking on the run. Especially considering I haven't been training and I still want to remain comfortable throughout the race. Timidity in my cycling was the order for the day. Transition 2
Comments: See T1  Run
Comments: It was HOT baby! My legs out of transition were a little heavy, but I thought I could run through it, but when I wanted to get going, they wouldn't listen to me. Then I started getting a bit heated when I came upon a H2O station which after a little sip went over my head. That was definitely helpful. What would you do differently?: Train Post race
Warm down: Warming down was impossible since it was probably 95 by the time I left to go home. Drank lots of water, got a massage, chatted some more and booked. What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of training...no excuses, just a fact. I'm definitely not happy with just competing, so I'm pissed enough to start training in earnest again. Maybe that's the big take away from this race for me. I feel like I could have done 5 to 8 mins faster on this race. Last updated: 2005-07-05 12:00 AM

Elite 2553  Tucson, AZ | Subject: RE: Firecracker Sprint Tri LOL..."incoherent and getting tattooed..." Sounds like you got some good motivation out of this race (even if it's the pissed kind |
). So get that training schedule together, and hopefully I'll see ya at SOMA in Oct! | General Discussion-> Race Reports! |

Woke up at 4:00. Made coffee, ate a yogurt and a banana. Skipped out at 4:15. Driving to the race, I saw some bars wrapping it up for the night, and it occured to me that the only reason I should be up at this hour was if I was incoherant and getting tattooed. Got to site at about 4:45 and had my spot set up by 5:05. Got marked and bumped into Pirate Girl and Gwozdzilla. Decided after that pleasantness to visit the little triathloner's room. All went well. Drank lots of water.
Stretched, and chatted.
