Swim
Comments: lined up in 6th and gave it a strong swim. Got caught by #7 around the 200M pointbut was clean except for that. My estimates were for a yard pool so I was really only about 15 sec slow...count the pass near the wall and a few extra seconds and I'm ok with it... What would you do differently?: Not much change....focus on catch and pull I forgot I was swimming/racing Transition 1
Comments: Finally got out of the watter and exited the pool building.....cold!!! Got into T1 and got the helmet and race belt on then second guessed my "vest/no vest" decision and put it on part way then took it off. Bike off the rack then out the door. What would you do differently?: not try to put on my vest...focus on the Bike
Comments: One word.....CRAMPS in the calfs here is where the lack of cycling fitness killed me. First hill wrecked the calves and from mile 2 on I was fighting to not totally cramp up. Had 4 times where I had to stop working just to keep the legs working....down hill was the worst. What would you do differently?: Train Transition 2
Comments: One more word. CRAMPS good dismount and jog into T2, very wet floor at this point (tennis court)...solw getting racked but ok helmet off, bend down grab a shoe and nearly fall over from a calf cramp. 3 tries to get the shoe on then 2 cramps on the other. left the glasses and went out the door.... What would you do differently?: I don't know, train on the bike so my legs don't lock up Run
Comments: decided to get on my horse and go. Taqrgeted a sub 7 and figured I hold on as long as possible. It worked. Saw B with .5 to go and she looked really strong What would you do differently?: nothing Post race
Warm down: crossed the line grabbed a bottle and headed back out the run course to run Bekah in . Got to her with .3 to go and helped her run dow 2 runners. She did awesome What limited your ability to perform faster: no bike fitness and 10# Event comments: Good race but several bike course vols had no idea what their job was Last updated: 2012-03-19 12:00 AM
