 Swim
Comments: better than expected What would you do differently?: for a longer race, pace a bit more  Transition 1
Comments: tired from run up beach, but pumped from swim performance. A little trouble with right ankle What would you do differently?: remember to start Bike computer. practice wetsuit removal....need need to figure out shoes---on bike vs run in them....  Bike
Comments: Flat rear tire within first few minutes on bike. Took over 12 min to change and inflate. Gashed finger in process. Heated up quite a bit in the hot sun....after being passed by everyone and their mother, tried to make up time instead of doing my race What would you do differently?: 1. Remember to both start and stop bike computer 2. Inflate tires there, not at home (20 degree difference by racetime)..might have caused my flat. Transition 2
Comments: Still frustrated with bike. Long walk/trot in transition with bike. What would you do differently?: 1. Remeber to grab race belt.  Run
Comments: hot....last mile was a killer. Started to walk...someone encouraged me... What would you do differently?: Need to learn to drink while running...especially on hot day. Train for run more...train train train Post race
Warm down: Not much...just hydrated and cooled down What limited your ability to perform faster: 1. Inexperience. 2. Flat tire 3. fatigue on run...hr was upto 175..not sure if heat effect or lack of training or both. 4. Mental...was a lot tougher than i thought...especially last mile of run...I had it in me to do better physically i believe...the last mile of run i told myself no way ill do another...not worth this pain....about 15 minutes after finishing, i felt i could/would wanted to do another and want to do better Event comments: Ill never call it "just" a sprint tri. Need to be mentally tougher. Heat is killer. Will definitly need to have hydration and nutrition plan for OLY. Need to wear / buy a tri-suit for oly. If i take away 13 minutes for tire change...would have been in top half of my age group. Last updated: 2005-07-24 12:00 AM

Elite Veteran 610 chicago area | Subject: RE: Harbor Lights Way to stick it out even after having a flat. Many would say "forget it" especially when it's 100 outside. Nice job and awesome swim time! |

Elite 2468 Racine, WI | Subject: RE: Harbor Lights I'll second that...I've heard it said that it's not even worth changing a flat on a sprint but you stuck it out and did it...and in that killer heat too. GREAT JOB!!! Next one will go more smoothly |

Veteran 252 Chicago and therabouts | Subject: RE: Harbor Lights Thanks for the encouragement. The flat was very deflating (no pun intended), but it was my first tri and there was no way i was not going to finish. Of course this was what i said 20 minutes into it. During the run...my head was saying another. Congrats to all you for finishing in the heat as well. Way tougher than i could have imagined. |
