Swim
Comments: NEED to get more time in the pool. I would have placed better if I could swim. The swim started with the sprint first then the Oly. We started out and Right away I was geting kicked. just in the hands mind you. Well, I moved to the left and just never checked so swam a bit out of the way a couple of times but over all it was a good swim. Could not see the last bouy though as it was in the sun. What would you do differently?: More training, maybe a wetsuit as they were allowed. More open water training and sighting practice. Transition 1
Comments: The first 10 yards I was wobbely but picked it up and ran to the end of the racking station. I got my helmet and glasses on quick. the race belt took a bit. I had some water and a power shot. Got on the bike. Got distracted by Jen saying high, just kidding, and went out on the bike. What would you do differently?: Tape my gu to the bike. That way I would not have to try and put it in my suit. Bike
Comments: The bike was good, the problem was that my computer went on the fritz during the bumps and I could not tell how fast I was going. I got passed by a few people but not many. I passed quite a few people and a couple of CERVELO owners. I was happy about that. What would you do differently?: Training, need to get on the bike more. Tape my gu to the bike. Transition 2
Comments: Went out with my helmet for 10 steps before realizing. SO I just threw my helmet at my bike. This made me forget about my hat. During the heat this was not good at all. What would you do differently?: REMEMBER MY HAT!!! Run
Comments: The run was pitiful to say the least. I came of the bike and immediatly got a side stitch but that went away before the first k. It made me slow down though. Then my legs just would not get going. I thought for sure I would have had a good run but sometimes you just cant win them all. What would you do differently?: More bricks with gu. More bricks. More bricks. Need to race simulate more. Post race
Warm down: Some stretches and watching the finishers come in. Talked with JEN and Li. What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of training. Event comments: This was my first tri ever. I finished with a good time. There was no aid stations for the bike, not sure if there are supposed to be. Its too bad they started to late. It was a hot one folks. I got a bit of a burn on my shoulders but other than that I am fine. Just realized that there were no transition mat's so I have no Idea exactly how long my tranisitons were.

Got up, had shower and shaved-wanted to look presentable- ate some vector and had a coffee. Drove to abbotsford and got body marked and racked the bike. Race never started til 945 and I was there at 0745. Oh well 2 hours of waiting to race never hurt no one. Did some walking and a good stretch.
Walking and a good stretch of the arms and sholders.
