 Swim
Comments: I made it, I did like my friend Gordo said and started easy, it was not too bad at all, started in the back of my wave....the women caught me before the first bouy so at least I had some good sights.... What would you do differently?: Nothing, for me it was awesome....it was my first ows and I followed my plan and did well....  Transition 1
Comments: I need to improve here and plan to with time and experience What would you do differently?: More experience equals better time  Bike
Comments: Great bike course What would you do differently?: push a little harder next time, train more Transition 2
Comments: Not too bad a transition here What would you do differently?: nothing  Run
Comments: I was 12th overall on the run, I saw a lot of people walking/slowing on the run course and passed probably 10-15 people...just like Gordo said would happen What would you do differently?: train more Post race
Warm down: had 2 diet cokes and a bagel What limited your ability to perform faster: excess weight, lack of training...need i go on ? Event comments: Great event, I plan to do this next year with a better finishing time !! and my son was there to watch me.....it was awesome had a blast Last updated: 2006-05-21 12:00 AM

Veteran 113 Greenville, SC | Subject: RE: Lake Murray Triathlon Congratulations Michael...great job on the first open water swim and your overall race. Sorry I did not get to meet you. I think UTC is going to have a transition clinic this summer. Its worth it to see/hear what people do to shave off seconds/minutes. As my coach says, would you rather run :20 per mile faster on the 5K run or shave a minute off transition?... |

had some oatmeal and protein powder, drove to race site about 40 minutes away, got marked , etc I should have gotten there earlier
walked from my truck to transition area like 5 times to look for my chip...it was in my pocket the whole time...doooh Homer Simpson moment, I managed to get in the water with my wetsuit on for a qucik couple of strokes and get used to the water before my wave took off, It was my first open water swim,,,I think I did great, my thought for the day was to have a good time and survive the swim, and have agood training day....a good finishing time did not matter, enjoying a GOOD TIME and finishing did...
