Swim
Comments: seeded myself a bit high as I got passed a lot! tried to get into drafts but got dropped several times DEVASTATING! Transition 1
Comments: long run up hill, couldnt get tri top on, strugged with shoes, struggled mentally to see if i need to stop and see medic. Bike
Comments: Tough bike course, averages 94 cadence and 223 watts for course (im 151 lbs) Played cat and mouse with a guy for awhile, he was going HARD up hills and would pass several people, I KNEW he couldnt do this for long, its just a part of racing. With about 8 miles left I dropped him and several other people as I was racing with a power goal in mind and knew what I could sustain. Goal was not to get passed on bike and no one ended up passing me! Foot hurt a hair at beginning but soon forgot about it What would you do differently?: Nothing Transition 2
Comments: hands sweaty and precipation and air made my hands really slippery trying to do flying dismount, almost went down but saved it, everyone telling us to slow down way before the dismount line kind of throws you off, its for safety i know but on that downhill its a shame! took off sunglasses for some reason and had to put them back on took a few seconds! What would you do differently?: nothing Run
Comments: game plan was to take it easy up first hill out of T2, well i forgot to do that. Hope I dont pay for that later. right off the bat foot felt bad, run through the pain! and try not to open up cut any more before augusta. Ran tough thoughout race, happy with my run performance! Post race
Warm down: cooled down, had a mix1 and some ultragen. looked for coldfire all morning when swim was delayed, finally found him after race, nice to see you and everyone else. 2011 hopefully ill run into you again at a race, def. am planning on tugaloo again if it fits into my training/work schedule. had medic clean foot up, felt fine saturday on trip home and walking though grocery store with endorphins still kicking, now it is tuesday and Im still limping around trying to figure out when i can run/bike/swim before augusta, hope this rest is paying off, still had some key workouts i need to get in before augusta, doesnt look good though. Ill have plenty of rest for this taper now. What limited your ability to perform faster: Great performance overall! Last updated: 2010-08-08 12:00 AM
