 Swim
Comments: Overall I was pleased as I didn't expect to swim this quickly however I was a bit lightheaded coming out of the water. Found myself passing quite a few people...I probably should have tried starting a bit further up in the pack. What would you do differently?: Push my pace a bit more at this distance and eat more before the race.  Transition 1
Comments: Would consider this OK since it was my first T1, but I did have some "challenges" getting out of my wetsuit. Otherwise I was very...slow and steady getting ready for the ride. What would you do differently?: Work on getting out of that wetsuit! :)  Bike
Comments: My left hamstring and groin were acting up again. Kept me from staying in the big ring which really affected my average speed. Kept getting passed, unless I switched to the big ring, then I was doing the passing. Transition 2
Comments: Started to get a little slow at this point. Was methodical in getting ready to run. What would you do differently?: More bricks! :)  Run
Comments: Legs were a bit sore at this point and my heart rate was elevated. No matter what I did, I couldn't keep my HR down. What would you do differently?: Considering I am not a very good runner, I wasn't too displeased with the overall. However, that was my lowest ranking of the three events so I guess it is time to RUN MORE. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Sore hamstring and groin (left side) Event comments: Overall, I was very pleased considering I've never done anything like this before. I felt very well prepared going in, however I feel as though I really didn't push myself as hard as I could have. I think in certain respects I overthought the notion of pacing myself.

Champion 19812    MA | Subject: RE: Long Beach Triathlon Great Race Triathlete!! It was good that you paced yourself well so you take it up a notch on the bike later and finish the run strong. You learned a lot during this first tri which will help you in all your future ones! So when is your next tri? |

Elite 2863 | Subject: RE: Long Beach Triathlon Nice report Bill. Darn good times for your first Sprint! Be careful with that groin injury. I've been battling a torn abdominal muscle for 7 months now and can't shake it. Groin pulls are a bugger to heal. -Michael |

Didn't sleep too well the night before but was OK getting up at 3:45AM (ugh). Had some breakfast and took off at 4:30 for LB.
Stretched a bit before event; Did a 5-10 minute swim warmup, man that water felt COLD!
