 Swim
Comments: Got up to the front of the line on the far right.. Was able to stay clear of others. My wave 19-39 was the first to go.. Got off to a good start with really nobody around me.. Was able to get into a pretty good rhythm still only feel comfortable breathing on my left side..Overall I felt like I had a good swim was unable to train as much in the water due to work.. What would you do differently?: Just continue to work on my swim and bi-lateral breathing.. Work on drills this off season and hope to see big improvements.  Transition 1
Comments: Set bike up in the first row close to the bike out.. Was a straight line out of the water to my bike.. Sunglasses,helmet,shoes on with no problem.. Ran to bike out, mounted and was gone.. What would you do differently?: Need to do some drills with the shoes already clipped in and see how I do..  Bike
Comments: This was my first race with the TT bike I borrowed.. Overall had a great ride was able to maintain a great pace...Got slowed down a few times by cars due to this not being a closed course.. The cars caused me to have to pass them when it was clear..( not fun) What would you do differently?: There is always room for improvement...Just continue to get seat time a push myself to get faster.. Transition 2
Comments: Got off my bike and one shoe came unclipped with any hesitation I kept going. Decided to go sock less. Racked the bike,shoes on, and put visor and race number on while running out of T2. What would you do differently?: Learn to get off the bike better while it is moving..  Run
Comments: Had a good run for me was able to get my pace down each mile according to my Garmin..I was able to push myself for the last 1.5 miles.. Overall I fell into a good pace, had some stomach pain but was able to push through it. Had one hammer gel at the beginning of the room.. What would you do differently?: Just continue to work on my run drills where hopefully I can get my total run time down to a 7 min mile one day.. can't complain because I have improved each event.. Post race
Warm down: Just did some stretching..Had some water, banana and a cliff bar..Chilled out with some friends and watch some other participants finish the race.. What limited your ability to perform faster: Had a slight cold but was able to push through all stages of the event with no problems.. Had some stomach issues but I think it was from the cold meds.. Event comments: Overall this is a great place to hold a race... I just think they need to find a way to closed the bike course to traffic.. There are some blind spots on the bike leg and with the cars could be dangerous.. Last updated: 2010-08-07 12:00 AM

Expert 1099 Bedford, NH | Subject: RE: Callaway Gardens Triathlon Samatha said it quite well! Great job Tim, the improvements keep coming which is awesome to see! Sorry to hear you had some issues with cars. That is not cool. You may want to let the race director know about this so that maybe they can do something about it for next year. But great job on the tri bike! Really impressed with your run! Clearly you keep making significant improvements here. This will be the key to you getting on the podium. If you keep getting faster on your run, its just going to be a matter of time. Way to battle through some stomach issues. Its really hard to say what caused them if you weren't feeling too well. That was probably it, but too many variables to know for sure. Congrats once again Tim! |

Got up around 5am, got dressed fixed an Ezekiel 4.9 English muffin with PB and Jelly. Had about 32 oz. of water. Drove over to Callaway and found a spot in transition since it was first come first serve..
Got bike on the rack and set up my gear.. At 7 am had a Gatorade pro 01 drink. Did a nice easy run to body marking.. Went back and made sure everything was in place.. Went to pre race meeting at 7:45 am.
