 Swim
Comments: most horrible "swim" ever- long wait- delay in start & in last wave-started to back & side of wave just could not relax * find rhythm- ended up doing a real "stroke medley" breast, side, free- just ENDURED. Most others had wetsuits...water was comfortable but I bet the buoyancy would have been a help to confidence- What would you do differently?: everything!  Transition 1
What would you do differently?: need to learn to do shoes on bike, need to do something to decrease post swim dizziness  Bike
What would you do differently?: shoes on bike, more hill trining, keep working on strength & cadence, shorten transition time, drink more Transition 2
What would you do differently?: tri suit.  Run
Comments: was too fatigued at the start. no fuel or fluid of my own, killer back of rt thigh cramp at mile 2 most likely due to above. What would you do differently?: need to learn about hydration/nutrition, and go slower first mile. Post race
Warm down: walk and hydrate, talk to a few other racers What limited your ability to perform faster: strength & endurance, hydration, nutrition. Horrid swim- also not a confident start.... Event comments: Chose this race to challenge & push- see what limiters are-it did this for me ! Not thrilled with performance on swim or run- bike was ok- but am glad to have finished in under 3 hrs given level of condition & insufficent fuel/fluid....Definitely learned from the experience Last updated: 2005-07-16 12:00 AM
