![]() Swim
Comments: This swim was relatively easy pace for me. There were so many people in the way, half the time I just couldn't get through and had to wait. People were swimming straight across the pack. It was a mess. Swim was done and I was on the bike like I had done nothing at all. What would you do differently?: Push to find a line. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: For some reason I cannot run fast right out of the water. Always makes me sick to my stomach. What would you do differently?: Practice running right out of the water. ![]() Bike
Comments: This bike felt good to me. It was windy on the way out and I felt pushed around a bit in the front end. This was the first time I really had a chance to ride at high speed in the wind with my 808 and it was definitely noticeable. By using my power meter I was able to keep myself in check on the way out. I pushed pretty hard and had a blast passing a bunch of people and was able to stay with a group of a few guys, but then when we turn to come back uphill they dropped me within a few miles and I only saw one of them at the end of the bike. Tried to keep my watts in the 230 range and ended up at 234, so I'm cool with that I guess. What would you do differently?: Not much. This was a pretty good bike for me. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: I attempted the riding on the shoes thing for the first time today. Worked out well. Makes it much easier to run without bike shoes on! ![]() Run
Comments: Although this run was hard, I was able to push the pace a couple times. I was hurting pretty good on the way out up those little hills. On the way back I was able to hold 7:30 pace for a good section and as long as held off people from passing me for the most part. What would you do differently?: I really need to push it on the hills. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Waited in line for a massage and stretched. What limited your ability to perform faster: Limited experience on hills with tired legs. In training I could push through the hills, but during the race when my legs were already tired and my heart rate was up there, I couldn't push very hard. Event comments: This is a great race, run by great people. The event food is kind of crappy though. For this price, I would expect a bit more. Last updated: 2011-06-01 12:00 AM

Got the transition area set up. Did some mantra breathing. Okay, that was a lie.
Jumped in the water and swam out and back to get the stiffness out of my shoulders.
