Swim
Comments: The first swim went great. Was able to sight well and had no goggle issues. The second swim time was horrible. My goggles would not seal and they kept filling with sea water. I had to keep stopping and let the water out of them. I felt a little queasy because of the salt water I accidentally swallowed. I was sure glad to see the shore after that swim. What would you do differently?: I cant run in the deep sand so I had to walk to the second swim start. Later I found that others went down to the shore where they could run and ran to the second swim start. Other than that I dont think I could do anything different. Had below average because of the second swim. Transition 1
Comments: There were no T times. T1 was included in the first swim. After you exited t1 you stepped on the mat and that started run 1. Run 1 ended as we exited the bike exit transition (t2). Bike
Comments: Rode Big Red for the first time in a race. He did pretty good. I have never averaged 20mph in a race before. Yea yea yea I know it was a flat course but who cares. Why am I talking to myself. I must be bored to death. Transition 2
Comments: During the bike I felt my calf start to give. I thought that injury was gone. I started to use only my right foot for the pedaling, but just sucked it up and went all out. After the bike ended I stepped on the mat to end bike and start run 2. I the had to rack the bake and put running shoes back on. Run
Comments: Was hot as could be. It was white lake half #2 hot. Good thing the run was short. My calf didnt hurt during the run. So was it a cramp or my microtear? Post race
Warm down: Almost died because of the heat and sick feeling from the salt water. After many waters and a sprite I felt a little better. After our sandwitch I felt great again. What limited your ability to perform faster: The heat. Last updated: 2010-03-02 12:00 AM

Arrived Saturday and picked up race packet at two wheeler dealer. Went to Flaming Amy's bowl for dinner. Went to hotel but could not check in due to the hotel being robbed. We had to drive around and wait for the sheriff office to finish the investigation and clear the crime scene. We finally checked in and brought our things up to the room. We got everything ready for the race and went to bed. The following morning I ate a banana for breakfast with a couple cups of coffee. We loaded our stuff and headed the 15 minutes to the race. Parking was easy. Walked bikes to the transition area. We set up the bike TA and walked to the beach where we set up our run swim TA.
None, didnt stretch. Event started with a swim so I guess thats when I warmed up.
