Swim
Comments: I expected a poor swim and got it. My sighting was terrible and my swim volume has been low. On the plus side, I wasn't tired at all coming out of the water :-). What would you do differently?: Swim more and find somewhere to do some OWS. Transition 1
Comments: don't know my transition split. The company running the race has mats at both ends, not sure why they don't have the split. What would you do differently?: remember my Halo sweat guard. Have salt pills in a bag so I can take them on the bike instead of T1. Bike
Comments: On the way out I was hitting 25-27 mph and felt great. I can't ride that fast so I knew the way back would be brutal. It was. What would you do differently?: Not much you can do against a really stiff head wind except not give up. Transition 2
Comments: Don't know. I thought I was efficient but the race company doesn't provide transition splits. Run
Comments: Uneventful. I felt like I could have pushed harder but really didn't want to experience that kind of pain. I knew I missed my time goal coming off the bike. What would you do differently?: Remember my run visor. Post race
Warm down: Felt the best I've felt yet after a race. Obviously could have gone harder on the run. Last updated: 2011-02-01 12:00 AM

The day before I met up with several BTers, Ann, Mary, Mike, Joe and his wife Michelle (and baby William). It was really nice meeting up with some people I met online. Definitely more fun to race with friends.
Ate a banana and yogurt a couple hours before the race. Skipped the peanut butter sandwich and forgot the pre-race GU. I wasn't hungry after snacking on peanut butter stuffed pretzels last night.
Swam a little.
