Run
Transition 1
Swim
Comments: Swam well, did have a lot of pushing hitting and kicking going on. Now that my slow swim is faster than my old slow swim, there are a lot more people around me in the water. I really did swim good, except for getting ready to round the green buoy instead of the yellow one. Beat a lot of people out of the water this time. What would you do differently?: Not let kicking and pushing bother me. I only let it bother me a little, but when a lady felt like she was grabbing my leg, I did a kicking/shaking motion to get her off of me. Transition 2
Comments: Good transition, shirt went on quick. Raced in my USA soccer jersey today. What would you do differently?: Nada, good transition. Run
Comments: Felt very strong after swimming. I think this is the best start to a run I have had that was right after a swim. The bricks must be helping out! What would you do differently?: I had a good strong kick, but let a couple of people that I should have reeled in stay ahead. Should have gone into a full sprint at the end to beat them. Post race
Warm down: Water & bananas What limited your ability to perform faster: As always the water.... you know the swimming part... I am getting much better though. And my time was over 7 minutes faster than the first Splash & Dash I did on that windy Friday. Event comments: Another well put on DCB Adventures race. Tried to convince Gary to have a Guinness for me at the turnaround water stop. He said one day he will probably surprise me and have one there. Last updated: 2006-05-25 12:00 AM
