Comments: Had trouble at about 2 minutes after being kicked by idiot doing back stroke. Started hyperventilating, lost composure.

Comments: Long transition run from swim to bike and bike to start of bike course. Leg cramped up running to bike. What would you do differently?: Walk the first 50 yards of transition. ![]() Bike
Comments: Good bike. Met my expectations. What would you do differently?: Eat different foods. Less Accelerade mix. Caused some stomach cramping. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Slow. What would you do differently?: Speed up. ![]() Run
Comments: Had side stitch first 2 miles. At mile 4 I felt great and starting to run a good pace. Both calves started cramping badly. I could run about 50 yards before cramps and then walk. Did this for the next 8-9 miles. Last mile on soft dirt & sand. Ironically, my legs were ok on this. Had a lot of energy, but was frustrated with the cramps. In spite of the heat I felt good. What would you do differently?: Don't know. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Walking, drinking water. What limited your ability to perform faster: Leg cramps. Inability to run the last 3 weeks of training due to muscle strain in right calf. Loss of 3 weeks training due to bicycle crash. Last updated: 2004-05-28 12:00 AM
