Swim
Comments: This was the shortest race swim I've ever done, so my strategy was to attack it early. I started at the front and inside of the pack. It worked well. I caught people from the two waves ahead of me. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Transition 1
Comments: I got my new bike on Saturday afternoon, so I had a total of about 40 minutes experience with clipless pedals. It is almost impossible to run with the cleets on and I took my time getting into the pedals. In addition, the transition area was a long way from the beach, which contributed to a slow T1. On the whole it was ok though. What would you do differently?: Learn how to leave the shoes attached to the pedals and slip in while riding. Bike
Comments: This was literally the first ride of more than 1 mile I had on my new tri bike. What a difference good gear makes! I rode this course on my Fuji league last weekend and averaged 16.5 MPH. I decided to attack the bike course and see what I had left on the run. It worked really well. For the first time ever I passed alot of people on the bike. (I was passed as well, but it looked like hard core types) I was VERY happy with the bike. What would you do differently?: Get use to the new bike. Work on cornering and climbing faster. More time in the saddle. Transition 2
Comments: I was worried about clipping out, so I took my time. Then, I took the bike to the wrong rack. (Stupid on my part) Once I got to the rack, the rest of the transition went fine. What would you do differently?: Learn how to take my feet out of the bike shoees while riding. Run
Comments: The heat and hills in the first 1.5 mile hurt me. On the whole this run was fine though considering the conditions What would you do differently?: Race someplace where it isn't 100 degrees. (You would think Wisconsin would qualify) Post race
Warm down: Jumped in the lake to bring the body temp down. Gatorade, water and oranges. What limited your ability to perform faster: Heat - Heat - Heat on the run Event comments: Fun race. The organizers did a good job despite having more racers than anticipated. Last updated: 2005-07-18 12:00 AM

Up at 5, out the door at 5:30. Power bar and water on the way.
For once I got to the race relatively early. Got body marked, got my time chip, set up transition, stretched, went for a short run, went for a short swim and got set to race.
