 Swim
Comments: Great swim. Took about 1-1/2 minutes off last years time. Normally I line up on the outside to avoid the crowds but today I had lots of confidence. Besides there were a lot more people on the right side. I swam a perfect line to all the turn buoys and had little traffic. At the ladder there was a lot of pushing and shoving. Some guy was trying to swim over me so I gave him a good push to the side! It was choppy and I swallowed some water but it didn't bother me. What would you do differently?: Nothing!!  Transition 1
Comments: Good transition. Had some trouble with getting the top part of suit off because I was afraid to pull the zipper down to the bottom. It was recently repaired. Fortunately, I was all the way at the end of the transition and had time to get it off. What would you do differently?: Nothing.  Bike
Comments: I felt better than last year and started stronger but got tired the last few miles. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Transition 2
Comments: Quick transition. No problems. What would you do differently?: Nothing.  Run
Comments: Started off feeling good off the bike and did a 9:00 first mile, right on pace. Wanted to average between 8:30 - 8:40 and figured I would pick up the pace between mile 1-3 and have a strong finish. Second mile was 8:47 and I still felt good. At the turn around I hadn't picked up the pace so I started to increase. Missed the mile 4 marker and at 5 I wasn't any faster. Couldn't figure it out. My last mile was tough and my pace slowed a little, averaging a bit over 9 min per mile. What would you do differently?: I don't know. There was not enough gas in the tank I guess. Post race
Warm down: Walk around, went to race finish to see Sharon come in. Drank water & Gatorade. What limited your ability to perform faster: I don't know. Recently I was diagnosed with iron deficiency which can cause fatigue. This may have had an effect but not sure. I gave it all I had. Event comments: My goal was to beat my last year's time but I was :26 seconds slower. That wasn't bad since the conditions were much worse. Great race, great time with the BT'ers that were at the parties. Last updated: 2006-05-01 12:00 AM

Set up transition area. Head back to room. Suntan lotion, body glide, PAM on calves. Got wesuit, cap, goggles and headed towards swim site.
A couple of minutes easy jogging and light stretching. Jumped in water and swam about 50 yards.
