![]() Run
Comments: Don't know what else to say except -- I'm a terrible runner!!!! Though my injuries stayed at bay, I was not pain-free -- just uncomfortable and not enjoying myself. Kept thinking "why am I doing this -- it hurts!!". What would you do differently?: Losing weight would be a good start! Drink water before beginning the run -- not hydrated enough. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Had to unlock the van to get the bike out, put on helmet and shoes. What would you do differently?: I tried having one shoe with laces out and only the velcro strap to tighten. This worked fine, and I will try training with laces out of shoes to see if it feels OK all the time. It does save me a little time. ![]() Bike
Comments: Ride felt good. Could have pushed just a bit more. What would you do differently?: Use my camel back hydration system as I have done before on the bike leg. This affords me plenty of water for the entire race and I do not need more on the run leg. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Had to unlock van again, put bike in and change shoes. What would you do differently?: Put running cap on top of running shoes so not to forget it (it was sunny today, plus I like running with a cap on). ![]() Run
Comments: I need to get better at this, or simply give up on this endeavor! What would you do differently?: Not use the new small hydration pack I bought. When running, I have no time to drink, the water adds more weight to carry and sloshes around. Useless. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Took one minute recovery HR-- which was 32, slowly walked for abour 7 minutes, did minors stretch, just for calves. What limited your ability to perform faster: My weight is number one factor. My need for more run training is number 2. Event comments: I rate the race as a 3 only because os my own performance -- it is a race I made up. It is becoming a challenge for me to believe I should be entering races!! My running is so bad and is NO fun -- just makes me want to quit and just swim and bike. We will see how much more of the triathloning thing I continue to do after my 2 already scheduled races. I am very glad to have done this today, but -- well, simply put -- disappointed in my ability to run. Last updated: 2004-03-22 3:32 PM

Decide this morning that I might try this today when I made plans to meet a friend at the park for a bike training ride. That's about all the pre-race I did.
Walked 4 minutes before starting the actual running.
