 Swim
Comments: Swim was brutal, 2-3 foot swells, i first leg of triangle the waves were breaking at my breathing side, second leg right into the waves. I tried to time them but it was not totally ryhtmic like waves in the ocean. Swim was brutal, however I did relax and having a wetsuit was a lifesaver. What would you do differently?: More swimming, and swim some more waves/currents.  Transition 1
Comments: Practice transition with wetsuit, got stuck. What would you do differently?: more wetsuit transition time.  Bike
Comments: Pretty decent, considering conditions. What would you do differently?: Get a compact crank/steeper rear cassette for hills. Ride more. Transition 2
 Run
Comments: Had weird cramp on and off behind my back and under my ribs, i suspect i inhaled too much water on the swim. What would you do differently?: Ill be running hills after this. Post race
Warm down: Eat, drink, stretch, sit. What limited your ability to perform faster: Mental, hills, I felt fresh and never went out of aerobic zone. Event comments: The race director said this is the toughest tri in the SW region, i laughed inside my head, after the race, i agree. Very tough course. Great satisfaction, there were 57 DNF/DNS. Thats HUGE!!!! Last updated: 2010-09-10 12:00 AM
