![]() Swim
Comments: Terrible swim for me. For some reason I couln't catch my breath. Wasn't swimming hard either. Even slowed down to catchup drill type swimming. Seemed like I couldn't do more than 5-6 strokes without going to breast stroke to catch breath. Did some back stroke and that was much faster than breast. I never was physically tired at all from swim. What would you do differently?: Do weekly open water swimming. More swimming workouts. HAd many weeks with just 1-2 workouts. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Another bad experience! I put the cycling jersey on twice and thought it was on backwards. Tols myself to slow down! Third time it still look backwards! Turns out the zipper somehow inverted and was just inside out and broke! This transition took forever! Should have been out < 2mins What would you do differently?: get a tri racing top. ![]() Bike
Comments: I feel the bike leg went well. HR was very high at first (166), so made myself go slow until HR dropped to ~150. Then I found a gear to keep the HR 155-160. HR actually fell to 152 last few miles at same speed. Nutrition as planned. Gel as soon as get on bike, half way and last mile for the run. Had a bottle of Accelerade during ride. What would you do differently?: Had a bottle of water on bike. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: bike next to me didn't leave me enough room to rack mine! Same girl who knocked someone elses bike down and left it there in T1. This transition went very well overall though. Just had to get bike in rack, shoes off, running shoes on (stretch laces) and helmet off, hat on and out! ![]() Run
Comments: After swim and T1, did not have any mental focus for run! For some reason, just didn't want to push myself! I felt I could have ran 3-5 mins faster. Took a few walk breaks, especially in first mile. I didn't get my legs until about mile 2. What would you do differently?: HAve some mental drills ready to push through. ![]() Post race
Warm down: walk with bottle of water. What limited your ability to perform faster: swim! and stupid jersey! Mental focus. Event comments: Race was fun! Not enough bathrooms! 1 toilet for men! Need more food than bananas, grapes and plain bagels. Volunteers were great and helpful. Lots of people cheering and well organized race! Actually a good race Last updated: 2004-04-19 12:00 AM

got up at 5:15 (car already packed and in garage). Made bagle. Got coffee at 7-11. Drove to race eating. Walk bike down to race. Note: get backpack, because pushing bike with a bag and cup of coffee not fun! Register at race and get timiming chip. Put bike and bag in transition. Walk around some drinking coffee. Warmup and then go to pier to get ready for race.
Do some stretching. Lay out transition area. Then put on running shoes and go for short jog to warmup.
