 Swim
Comments: Rough ocean swim. 2 sets of breakers and strong current pulling us south. Swam out to first buoy, diving and swimming through crashing waves. Waves were about 3-4 ft. Had the first buoy in sight to my right, took about 3 strokes, looked up and buoy was way to my left. It must have shifted during a lull in the wave action. Heading south wasn't bad but I had to keep watching for breaking waves. I didn't get too many but I also didn't get any help from the waves coming to shore. What would you do differently?: Nothing.  Transition 1
What would you do differently?: Nothing.  Bike
Comments: Best bike segment ever. Averaged 21.1 mph, felt strong and passed a lot of people. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Transition 2
What would you do differently?: Try going without socks.  Run
What would you do differently?: Good run considering how little I have run in the past month. Too many people passed me during the run though. Post race
Warm down: Very little. I had a message on my phone from work and spent the next hour trying to solve a problem over the phone. Ate bagel, fruit, drank water. What limited your ability to perform faster: Tough swim. Last updated: 2005-09-11 12:00 AM
