Swim
Comments: I felt really good during the swim. I started in the second row which I think was about right for me. The first 200m was a bit rough but no one swam over me. I wish I could say that I swam over no one but I did. What would you do differently?: Nothing that I can think of. Transition 1
Comments: As soon as I got to transition, a girl about three bikes down knocked down her bike, and the next three bikes including mine. I had to search for my helmet, gloves, and sunglasses but besides for that all went well. My wetsuit came off without a problem and I felt calm. What would you do differently?: Not park my bike next to a clumsy girl :) No really, maybe try and run to the transition a bit more. I currently vary between a quick walk and a slow jog. Bike
Comments: The bike felt good. I felt strong going up the hills (overpasses)and didn't let the small amount of wind I encountered slow my place. Most of the course was not too crowded but I was "accentured" coming up the last overpass into transition. I was coming up at a good pace and was forced to stop due to 4-5 mountain bikers riding side by side and taking up the whole lane. What would you do differently?: Not much. Just ride more to increase my speed!! Transition 2
Comments: No big shakes. In T2 and then out on the run. Run
Comments: I am still recovering from plantar fasciitis so this was the first time in over a month I have actually run on pavement. I felt great until about mile 1.75 when the foot started to hurt. My mile splits were a little low but I did not want to push it too hard. What would you do differently?: Hopefully, I will fully recover from my injury and get back to running strong. Post race
Warm down: Some walking, stretching and ice for the foot. What limited your ability to perform faster: My foot injury. Last updated: 2005-08-29 12:00 AM
