Swim
Comments: See above, not a good first lake swim. Need a wetsuit and goggle anti-fog for next cold swim. The trick of spitting in goggles didn't work this time. What would you do differently?: Get a wetsuit and try different goggles or anti-fog spray. Transition 1
Comments: Since I was so close to the exit, with uphill bike start, I put on my bike shoes before mounting bike. I thought this would be the better plan. Due to the temperature and having a cold, I also decided to put on a long sleeve shirt and my gloves. I'm glad I did since it started raining. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Bike
Comments: I started off feeling pretty bad, with some wheezing which I didn't expect. I started feeling better around the half way mark, but then it started to rain. This is why my pace was fairly slow. What would you do differently?: Not much to do differently here, considering the conditions. Transition 2
Comments: Was pretty slow overall. I didn't see any reason to hurry since I was so far behind. Run
Comments: I was pretty happy with my run, considering how I felt and having a cold. It did quit raining about 2 miles into the run, which helped as well. What would you do differently?: Nothing for this race. Post race
Warm down: Walked around and stretched some. Ate a couple of bananas and drank water, then headed to the truck to turn the heated seats on! What limited your ability to perform faster: Not feeling well due to cold after swim, swim would have been better if I didn't have goggle issues. Event comments: The race would have been better if it didn't rain and I didn;t have a cold. I felt the course overall was good for my current ability level, with the exception of the swim.
