Swim
Comments: started off shaky, got better as the swim progressed. I started off in the middle of the wave. should have started more to the left. Once I got into a rythym though I felt good. Passed a few people, only got passed by one guy who used the shallowness to do a dolphin dive and take off. lots of people walked. didn't get passed by anyone in the following wave. What would you do differently?: not sure. had a little problem rounding the last buoy lost abit of time there. Transition 1
Comments: this is usually my worst transition. felt a lot slower than the time. results don't show actual transition times so this is a guess based on taking total time and individual events and figuring the difference. also on the bike out I hit the lap button. What would you do differently?: need to practice swim to bike transitions. have a very hard time running from the water to the bike. need to take a couple of breaths and slow my heart rate down prior to geting my bike stuff on Bike
Comments: I felt a little better on the bike. probably should have drank a bit more. nice day though, not too hot. so i think i did ok. Overall. A pretty good bike. Did really good descending. Got into higher gear and really pedaled. What would you do differently?: practice hill climbs for next season. need to get better at climbing. I'm getting tired of being passed uphill Transition 2
Comments: it felt like one of my better bike to run transitions although the time doesn't seem to show it. it was a LONG way to the run out maybe that's where the longer time came from. maybe for the shorter races I need to get used to not wearing socks for the run as well as the bike. might help my transition time. What would you do differently?: nothing Run
Comments: felt sluggish for the first mile. found my second wind and was able to speed up after the turn around. I definetly did better on the way in than the way out. Finished very strong, although I think my knee paid the price. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Had I pushed harder through the sluggishness at the beginning, might not have done as well after the turn. Post race
Warm down: cooled down, drank water, ate some grub. chatted with family. What limited your ability to perform faster: being sick for almost the entire month of July. Had two good training weeks prior, overall though, completely out of my control. Event comments: good race. always have a blast at Timberman. Last updated: 2009-12-03 12:00 AM
