 Swim
Comments: (63F-North5-Dew61F-Hum94%-Overcast) I don't know about this time. It's totally suspect because I was to not THAT fast. What would you do differently?: Swim at least once in open water before the race!  Transition 1
Comments: Slow, slow, slow. Just seemed to muddle through. I guess having to put all my gear in the trash bag to be transported back to the finish took some extra time. What would you do differently?: More Body Glide?  Bike
Comments: A fun, fast ride. Kept the legs spinning and cruised. There were some spots into the wind where I found that my speed totally dropped. Still felt strong. 24oz Gstorade & Clif Shot. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Transition 2
Comments: Dismounted and entered T2 but the volunteers didn't have my transition bag ready so I went straight in to rack my bike and sat down to take off the bike shoes. Someone brought my bag to me just in time. Put on socks & shoes with no problem. What would you do differently?: Invest in tri-specific shoe laces and try to run without socks.  Run
Comments: (67F-Variable8-Dew63F-Hum87%-Clear) Just the right pace. I had to stop with half a mile left to re-tie my shoe lace, I ought to look into those Yanks. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Post race
Warm down: Walked around. Ate a Panera Cinna-Crunch bagel. Waited for transportation for me and my bike to the race start where my car was parked. What limited your ability to perform faster: Didn't really have the training mental edge with all the moving stuff going on. As well, I hadn't been eating real great and have added some extra pounds on my hips. Ugh. Event comments: Excellent event. Great volunteers. Lots of first-timers which added to the friendly morning of racing. One snag of the point-to-point race was getting people back to their vehicles afterwards. More vans and trailers for the bike would have been appreciated. race website Last updated: 2006-05-05 12:00 AM

Up at 5:35. Hit the snooze button once. At Clif bar, coffee and siped on some Gatorade on the drive.
The start was delayed 45 minutes to let the fog lift. Swam a bit.
My run warm-up was chasing a pit bull across I-70 on my way to the race. The poor thing, with a collar and a leash, was trying to cross from the median on a stretch of raised highway. He had nowhere to go. I got him far enough along the highway that he made his way across and into the wooded ditch. I hope that he found his way home safely.
