 Swim
What would you do differently?: Gotta get some goggles I can see out of. Last month I breast stroked 500 yards in 15 minutes, so this race of 1500 in 31 is a scorcher!  Transition 1
Comments: Got to the timing mat and I didn't beep. My chip stuck to my wetsuit! So I ditched my bike and RAN back to find it. What would you do differently?: Make sure my chip was on me before I leave my spot!  Bike
Comments: Tried to use as much down hill as I could. Glad my tire went flat at the end instead of somewhere else. What would you do differently?: Check my chip before I left for the transition gate! More hills in prep for The Bluff! Transition 2
Comments: Didn't feel my feet or legs for a little while. What would you do differently?: Drink more on the bike.  Run
Comments: Couldn't Believe I was running that fast out of transition! Just kept moving up on the next person in front of me. What would you do differently?: More intervals, and 400/800 repeats. Post race
Warm down: Sat and waited for my name to be called for the prizes. Didn't win. Didn't feel I wanted a 10 inch tatoo of the Trinona T on me just to win a set of HED wheels. Went to Subway and drove 4 hours back home. Re-hydrated for 4 hours in the car. What limited your ability to perform faster: I'm old and I get tired easy. Event comments: Volunteers were great all along the course. Traffic was slowed by local police, so the bike course was a nice ride. Winona has about 26,000+ as a population, so it was just a great town to have this event in. And the trophies! WAAAAAAY COOL! Solid Limestone. Hope they are giving them out next year, Because I want one! Last updated: 2011-01-23 12:00 AM

Waffels at the free breakfast at 5am,bananna, part of a Mt Dew, part of a Gatorade, one square bottle of Muscle Milk. GU 30 min before. Wave 10 went off at 8:20.
Transition closed at about 7AM, then the brief. Took off my glasses and wandered around like Mr Magoo for about 90 minutes.
Wrestled into the wetsuit about 6:45. Got my face wet during intermission (between waves 7 & 8). Got out and thought that water would taste great with just a little Kool-Ade.... It was a little weedy in a few places, but it only bothered me when it got in my mouth.
