TWO THIRTY SOMETHING, I DONT KNOW, IM TIRED!!! What would you do differently?: start to the freakin left!!!!  Transition 1
Comments: picked the rack closest to the bike in/run out spots, which put me about the furthers away from the swim in, so outside of the wetsuit getting stuck on my freakin left heal and me putting two fingernail holes in the leg, im ok with this one............. What would you do differently?: learn to swim better so i wouldnt need a wetsuit or at least one with no sleeves and half legs.......  Bike
Comments: the demons from the swim were in my head for a bit on the way out for the bike. hit the turn around at 21:46 so the second half was much much better What would you do differently?: not take those darn demons with me! Transition 2
Comments: nice. What would you do differently?: nadda  Run
Comments: this felt good, and comfy. lower back started hurting at the turn, but i think thats cuz i need some new shoes............. What would you do differently?: nadda. Post race
Warm down: yeah, right. sure. What limited your ability to perform faster: swim demons Event comments: good course, great venue..........fun weekend with the family that came along and also with the family that lives up there. could be a yearly event? who knows, but i do know i owe that swim course a whoopin!!!!

Elite 3687 | Subject: RE: Lake Minnetonka Triathlon Great job my man! The swim was definetly insane. I heard they pulled a lot of people out of the water that day. Make sure you let me know if this will be on your schedule again. I would do it again for sure if you were coming to town. I love it when they ask you your number during a race. What? Is this a fricking pop quiz? I'm racing here! |

Master 1732 Delafield, Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Lake Minnetonka Triathlon When they asked you your number you should have said "number 1, baby!" Excellent race sir! Extra bonus for surviving the swim. |
