 Swim
Comments: Pretty good swim. Was a bit left/outside of course half way up the first leg. I felt good and calm, but 3/4 through I just wanted to swim to be over, mostly due to not being able to see well. Had difficulty seeing/sighting, combination of the weather (overcast and drizzle), smoke colored goggles, goggles fogging, and fog coming off the water. Oh and no glasses. I couldn't see more than 20 yards at water level. started to pick out the tree line as a target. What would you do differently?: Need to solve the seeing/sighting issue. Start on the right instead of the left to see people as I breath.  Transition 1
Comments: My highest heart rate of the whole race was coming into T1 after running the 300 yards up the hill coming out of the water. Tried to calm down a bit and get my socks and shoes on. What would you do differently?: Should practice transitions at some point. :)  Bike
Comments: I was just trying to get my heart rate under control during the steady climb from mile 1 to 4. Was steady through the rolling sections. I hit my goal of under 1 hour for the bike leg, which was nice. What would you do differently?: Continue to Train! Transition 2
Comments: Swap to running shoes.  Run
Comments: Well, it wasn't pretty. Jogged the down hill sections and had to take some walk breaks on the up hill. Just a bit tired by the end. Looking back at my training this was about 3 minutes slower than I would expect. Oh I was clipped by 6 seconds as the end by someone who ran the 5k 10 minutes faster (can you say MOTIVATION). What would you do differently?: Continue to Train! Post race
Warm down: Stretch What limited your ability to perform faster: More base miles. Just do it. Last updated: 2011-04-26 12:00 AM

Age Group Rank = 12/13
Note: This was my first ever Triathlon. Arrive at 6:30. Bring gear to transition, then head to chip pickup and body marking. Just tried to stay calm and drink some water.
Pretty cold and wet morning. Stayed in sweats as long as possible before stripping down and heading to swim start. Did some stretching and got in the water to do a little swimming about 10 minutes before start. Stayed in the water until event start, water was 75 degrees vs air temp of 53 :)
