Swim
Comments: This was not a good swim for me at all. Felt like it took forever and I got beat up the entire time. I always do 5-10 minutes of swimming before a race and just didn't feel like it today. Lesson learned. Although, I don't want to blame the poor swim on no pre swim entirely. What would you do differently?: Warm-up. Transition 1
Comments: Not a great transition but not as bad as it looks. This is a very long transition area and my age group is not put in a very good spot. What would you do differently?: Either become an elite or get much older. Bike
Comments: I was pretty happy with this ride. The wind made for a pretty tough first half of the ride and was in your face on some inopportune hills. Still, this was close to a pr ride for me and I'm happy with it. Transition 2
Comments: Lost a lot of ground on competitors due to transitions. Run
Comments: This was a tough run. I did my 12 mile run on friday for marathon training in hopes I would have enough recovery time for this race. Legs felt good for the first 14 miles of the bike and then I felt them fade. This run was a real sufferfest. Legs were dead the whole time and hills were awfull. I'm actually very surprised I kept it under 8:30's. Despite how bad it felt it was still a pretty average run for me. What would you do differently?: Not do a long run 2 days before a race. Post race
Warm down: Just make it through the finish line and hook up with friends. What limited your ability to perform faster: No warm up and tired legs Event comments: There were a lot of rocks this year in the beach area. Both my feet are bruised up and hurting. Despite that this is still my favorote race of the year. They do a great job and eventually I will get below 2 hours on it. Last updated: 2010-06-24 12:00 AM

Got up way too early for the 90 mile drive to Annendale with Kelly. She slept. Hung out with Joe, Ben and a few others while Kelly looked kind of sickly. She just wasn't feeling so hot.
Neglected to do a pre-ride or a pre swim. This would come back to get me on the swim I'm afraid.
