Swim
Comments: The seas were choppy and in the first leg it was difficult to get a full breath or stroke. It was a little better on the second leg and coming back in was easy swimming with the waves. Transition 1
Comments: No problems in T1. Bike
Comments: Had a slow leak in my front tire. Stopped midway through the second lap and re-inflated it with my C02, but it continued to lose air. At the end of the bike, the semi-flat tire caused me to slip and fall near the turn into the beach club. Got a little road rash on my left shoulder, elbow, hands and leg. Picked up my bike and ran it to transition. Condsidering stopping and crashing, it was a pretty good ride. What would you do differently?: Check my gear better. Transition 2
Comments: My hands were a little shaky after the crash, but no problems. Run
Comments: I felt strong on the run. My shoulder and hand stung, but didn't slow me down. Probably could have run faster, since I had a lot of energy left for the last kick. What would you do differently?: Push harder. Post race
Warm down: Found the EMT, who put some iodine on my wounds. Had some food, packed up and went home. Event comments: Discovered that cleaning out bits of asphalt from under one's skin sucks, but I think I got it all. I am a little disappointed with my results compared to the field and am curious what the difference would have been without my bike problems. Last updated: 2005-09-26 12:00 AM

Woke at 5:15 and was out the door at 5:40. Got my coffee and bagel and made it to the race site by 6:45. Found a good spot on the end of a rack 1/3 of the way in. Set up with plenty of time.
