 Swim
Comments: Tough swim. Drank a lot of water and felt pretty crappy. Despite that I powered through and stayed focused. I maintained my rythem and just went from one buoy to the next. Pretty happy with my time and rank on the swim. What would you do differently?: Work on bilateral breathing. Drank a lot of water due to only sighting to the left and huge waves from that direction.  Transition 1
Comments: I am notorius for slow transition times and was actually quite pleased with both times.  Bike
Comments: I don't remember this course being so hilly. Nothing major but just a lot of small climbers. Wouldn't have been bad except for the wind. Wind + hills + clydesdale do not make for a good combo. Plus I almost had a redneck in a truck take me out at an intersection patrolled by 2 sherriffs and a volunteer. Had to come to a complete stop and crank it up again. The sherriff was NOT pleased with Jethro one bit. Transition 2
Comments: Really? Did I do that? What would you do differently?: Nada.  Run
Comments: This was my only dissapointment for the day. I did have a good run so I should not complain BUT I did have another mental letdown and it cost me a podium finish. With half a mile to go I allowed myself a 30 second walk break and then slowed down to 9 minute miles. Shortly after 2 guys chugged by me who were obviously in my division. Sure enough, I missed 3rd place by 34 seconds and 4th by 10 seconds. What would you do differently?: There was no reason to slow down with only half a mile to go. I need to get mentally stronger and learn how to gut it out in the end. Post race
Warm down: Met up with Kelly and the kids as well as fellow BT'ers What limited your ability to perform faster: Training and mental toughness Last updated: 2009-12-10 12:00 AM

| Expert 638 | Subject: RE: Lake Minnetonka Triathlon Solid times. Nice job in the wind today. I hear you on wind+hills+clydesdale, although your bike pace looks like it was still pretty darn good given the wind. Edited by Hazelmn 2010-06-19 12:44 PM |

Champion 10018  , Minnesota Bronze member | Subject: RE: Lake Minnetonka Triathlon Bummer about the wind! You still did great, especially with a difficult swim like that. I probably couldn't have done it. |

Expert 2189 Dodge County, MN (out in the corn) | Subject: RE: Lake Minnetonka Triathlon Good job! That wind today was tough and all I was doing was sitting on my couch. I struggle with the mental toughness too, esp on the run. |

Expert 1059 Lakeville, MN | Subject: RE: Lake Minnetonka Triathlon no matter what, nice race. And remember, it is the races that don't always go as planned that we learn more from. So, at HOLT, make it your goal to not walk a step and to finish strong....I know you have it in you! |

Ate like crap all day Friday and woke up not feeling so good race day. Tried to eat a little peanut butter and wheat but wasn't happening. Found DJDavey and hung with him for awhile. Then found Jared and some of the guys I swim with. Nice relaxing morning.
Took the bike out for a short spin and then did a short swim. Wind was blowing pretty good and on a big lake like Minnetonka it was having a big effect. Did a short swim and drank a lot of water.
