 Swim
What would you do differently?: I've avoided swimming this year to focus more on biking and running.  Transition 1
Comments: Transition includes long run from pool to transition area. I felt like I got in and out of transition in good time. I didn't fumble with any of my gear. What would you do differently?: Learn to transition onto bike with shoes already clipped in.  Bike
Comments: I would have liked to break 30 minutes, but considering most of my riding has been on my MTB. I'm satisfied since I never got passed. What would you do differently?: Maybe do some time trialing to get used to riding red lined. Transition 2
Comments: The bike dismount should have had some carpeting or something. Very slick. What would you do differently?: Invest in some good tri bike shoes. The ones with a single strap, then practice removing feet from shoes while on the bike.  Run
Comments: I felt like I was fighting to keep good form. I think this is due to poor core conditioning. My legs felt good and so did my lungs, just my core. I also got a cramp after drinking some cold water at the turn around. I never did get passed and was able to push through the pain and run my fastest mile at the end. What would you do differently?: Increase core strength. Drop 20 pounds. I raced at 188-189 I think I could be a lot faster if I was in the 170's Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Weight Didn't peak properly for this race Event comments: I'm very happy with getting first in my age group and feel like I'm starting to improve. Especially since this was not an A race for me. Last updated: 2010-09-02 12:00 AM

Ate a peach and had some coffee. Fixed a flat on my bike after noticing a small hiss coming from my rear tire as I loaded my bike onto the back of my truck.
Swung my arms around in a windmill fashion for about a minute. I seriously didn't have time to warm up. I dread waiting around for my heat so I headed over to see if I could get in the fast lane. I was lucky enough to be grouped with just 1 other swimmer.
