![]() Swim
Comments: The swim went ok. My time was actually better then I thought I did. I had some difficulty maintaining the proper breathing. I did take it easy and was able to swim without getting to winded. What would you do differently?: Not much I could have done different. Need to work on my swimming technique more. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: The Transition was not timed - T1 time is added to the Bike time. I estimate about 2 1/2 minutes. My socks got stuck while putting them on - I think because of wet feet.... I was able to put on my jersy while running from the pool to the Bike. What would you do differently?: Probably not wear socks, The weather was horrible - so I needed then for this event. ![]() Bike
Comments: Very windy and rainy day. Seemed as though the wind was always in my face. there was a few streaches that I caught a tail wind - then I was flying..... It rained for the last half of the Bike course. not a major down pour, but enough to get you wet. What would you do differently?: I think my areobars are set to short, I felt a little crampt in that position. I'll adjusted them and test it out this week. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: The Transition was not timed - T2 time is added to the Run time. I estimate about 1 minute What would you do differently?: went ok ![]() Run
Comments: The run was poor for me. As soon as I started running both of my calves started cramping up. It took about 1/2 mile before they stopped cramping, but I ran through it. The course had a lot of hills, I struggled with running up the hills. when I got to a flat area in the middle of the course, I was feeling pretty good. Took a wrong turn and had to double back about 1/4 mile. I lost some time here. the final mile, I started getting a side ache, not real bad though. What would you do differently?: I felt I should have done better on the run, even with the Navigation error. I have to train more in hilly conditions. I wasn't used to this at all, and it got the best of me. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Ate some of the post race food. water, bagle, etc.... waited for my wife and daughter to find me, they were suppose to get a picture of me finishing, but were waiting at the wrong place..... What limited your ability to perform faster: Teh weather was a factor, I woudl have biked much faster if teh winds were not as strong. The run was hilly and it took me by suprise. Event comments: We didn't stay for teh post race celebration. The weather was bad and my 3 yr old daughter had enough of the cold and rain - as did my wife. One cool thing - Heather Gollnick was there - She is a Wisconsin Ironman Champion from 2002. She kicked ass on the course 1:01. Here is a bio on her http://www.timex.com/sponsorship/women/gollnick.html Last updated: 2004-04-26 12:00 AM
