 Swim
Comments: I thought I did better on my swim. I did loose my googles at the beginning, but I got them back on quickly. I did choke once, but only a brief pause. Otherwise I felt good and finished strong. I completed Pflugerville the week before at 10:06. I do not feel I was a 1:20 slower. I thought I had a good swim What would you do differently?: Pushed harder. Make sure my goggles were on securely.  Transition 1
Comments: Good transition What would you do differently?: Have a quick drink  Bike
Comments: I struggled at the beginning of the race, but then got into a good grove. I need to learn my gearing versus the road incline. I see why they call it killer hill. I made it up it OK. I was breathing hard. Quite a few walkers.(Houston people)(Ha ha). Going back I make up some time and pushed it. I passed a few riders. Good course. No complaints What would you do differently?: I need to push more. I also need to get in better condition. Working with a group once a week is helping Transition 2
Comments: I do not do get off my bike until I stop. Safety first.  Run
Comments: I started off the run feeling good. Going up the hill from transition to the top of the dam was a little rocky. Once on top of the dam I thought this would be the entire run, so I paced myself. I should have pushed more. We went out and back and then off road on a sandy and rocky path, which I was concerned about with my achilles issues. But I did ok. I did slow down. After the offroad part it was packed or gassy surface and I did pick up my speed. Legs felt good. During the run I got chicked. But at the end I had a guy bearing down on me, but I kicked her in high and passed the chick and he finished behind me. I should have pushed more during the race.. What would you do differently?: Know the run course in advance. Post race
Warm down: Got some cold water. Good spread of food. Talked with Djastroman and others. Cheered some contestants. Walked around about an hour. This really works well for me. If I just get in my car and leave I stiffen up and get sore. Had grapes, banannas, watermelon, and sausage. What limited your ability to perform faster: With my injuries last year I am afraid to push. I need to push myself more. Event comments: I had a good time. Last updated: 2012-05-04 12:00 AM

Got up 3:30. Had bagel, bananna, coffee and juice. Let for race at 4:00. Got to Boerne at 6:00. On the two hour drive I had more juice and a poptart. I drove slow I was worried about the deer. I only saw two of them. I got into transition. I picked then corner spot. I met Djastroman and his wife then went for warm up swim
I did about 200 meter warm up swim. I felt good. The lake was calm and the water was great. I did some stretching. Should have did a warm up run and some stretching. I organized my transition helmut and shoes.
