 Swim
Comments: After last weeks fiasco, I was determined to have a good swim even if it killed me. Since it was a straight swim out and back, my plan was to just keep my head down and follow the crowd. I think I only sighted twice outbound just to make sure I wasn't being lead astray. I managed to stay with the main crowd and always seemed to have a pair of feet to follow. I pushed hard and didn't let up when I got a little winded like I normally do. My heart rate was higher than I like this early but I shaved off over 1:30 from last year so I was pretty happy. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Transition 1
Comments: Went pretty smooth except at the mount line. It was too crowded with people stopping to get on the saddles, so I didn't try a flying mount.  Bike
Comments: I quickly got up to speed and strapped my shoes on. As soon as I started climbing up Diamond Head I knew I was not recovered from last Sundays 70.3. My legs were fatigued and it showed on the first hill. Once I started downhill or level I could maintain speed but not like I am capable of. Heartbreak Hill hurt a lot. Last year I flew up it like it was an overpass, this year was just a sufferfest due to fatigue. I lost some time form last years bike but I'm ok with it considering the HIM last weekend. What would you do differently?: Not do a HIM a week before? Transition 2
Comments: I opted to put on socks this time because of the blisters I received last year from the up and down hills of the run. Cost me another 30 seconds or so but I think it was well worth it. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Run
Comments: The run was just an exercise in pain management. The fatigue was setting in but I was still hyped up from my swim so I thought I had a shot at the podium. The hills proved to be too much for my tired legs though. Although I was a few seconds slower than last year, I was still happy with my run. What would you do differently?: Not race a HIM the week before? Post race

Member 81 | Subject: RE: Honolulu Tinman Triathlon Great job on this race! I was wondering how much Vineman was going to affect you. I'm glad I didn't sign up for Tinman this year since I haven't even touched the bike or gone for a run since Coeur d'Alene. |

| Subject: RE: Honolulu Tinman Triathlon Awesome job considering your HIM the previous week. I'm glad you guys started way behind me in the wave starts. I there were enough people passing me on the run as it is. |

The usual, snarfed down a granola bar and took in as much caffeine as possible. There was no coffee available in the hotel that early so the diet coke was my only option.
Did a quick run up the road and back.
