 Comments: Swam easy felt good buoys kept drifting around, should have swam a little harder but got out of the water feeling good. I did swim right past the last turn buoy, was spotting this old tower and did not realize how short the second segment was. Noticed no one around me and saw I had swam about 100 meters past the turn. Current kept pushing me to the right on the swim in. What would you do differently?: Swim harder and not miss the turn buoy.  Transition 1 
 Comments: Long, long run to transition and was slow getting my bike shoes on What would you do differently?: speed up on the run to transition  Bike 
 Comments: Pretty flat course seemed like it was constantly going up to me, but that might have just been me. Saw alot of small groups drafting. Got in a pretty good, comfortable pace stayed on by aero bars more than I have ever before. bike felt pretty good. I felt good getting off the bike What would you do differently?: I maybe could have rode a little harder but I did die deep in the run so that might have been it?  Transition 2 
 Comments: Transition was fine but I was about to explode so stopped by the port-a-potty in transition for a lengthy stop What would you do differently?: Nothing I could do about the stop I guess otherwise it went fairly well  Run 
 Comments: Ran to mile 6 aid station no stops my plan was to run to mile 10 and then walk aid stations if I needed. had to walk aid station and eat some oranges at mile 6 and walked through the aid stations for the remainder of the course. right past mile 11 I really had to slow my pace and walked a wood bridge for some reason it made my knee hurt to run on the bridge so I walked. I kept running after the bridge but my pace was really gone, about as slow as I can run. I think everyone in the race passed me on the run?? What would you do differently?: not be fat. I really hoped that doing a half marathon early in the season would help my run since I would be concentrating on it solely but I may be slower this year????  Post race Warm down: Hung out with friends who also did the race. What limited your ability to perform faster: My run sucks Event comments: Set up puts on good events Last updated: 2010-05-27  12:00 AM |
