Swim
Comments: I took it very easy due to the fact that my shoulder is not 100% yet. I swam freestyle out to the first buoy, the breaststroke the remainder. My shoulder actually did not hurt(surprising to me), but I did not want to screw up the rehab this early in the year. Overall I came out of the water in 8;42 minutes, well ahead of what I thought I would do(11min) What would you do differently?: nothing Transition 1
Comments: I am getting much better at T1. I even ran from the water to the transition area(100yds?)because I had a lot left in the tank. Bike
Comments: I was very happy with my mounting of the bike, and getting aero and up to speed very quickly. I tried to maintain 22mph for most of the ride, but most of the course had a decent headwind. I actually passed a lot of people, instead of being passed. I was very happy with my effort. What would you do differently?: nothing Transition 2
Comments: This was probably my fastest transition to date thanks to my wife and kids cheering me on. What would you do differently?: nothing Run
Comments: This is probably the best/strongest I have felt coming off the bike in 5 years. I pushed pretty hard, but felt good. I knew I was doing well at the first mile because my split was 7:39! I was psyched because I was under 8min. i knew at this point I would crush my time from last year. At the last mile I picked up a bit, and the sidestitch wasn't too bad at the last mile. I actually passed more people instead of being passed as usual. What would you do differently?: nada Post race
Warm down: nada. Greg and I walked over to get some food. What limited your ability to perform faster: Minor injury to my shoulder. But overall, I only was 2 minutes slower in the swim than last year. Event comments: Overall, this is a great place to do a race. Maxmattmick and I even met Laurensue02. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I finally broke my 8min/mile barrier on the run, and surpassed my goal of a 7:35min/mile!! Last updated: 2006-06-05 12:00 AM

Woke up at 3:50am(yes this is not a typo folks)because I couldnt sleep, and had my pb&j bagel and gatorade. I woke up my wife and kids, and we headed off to pickup Maxmattmick. We arrived about 6:30 and got our packets after waiting in line for 10min.
Nothing much besides getting in the water to check out the temp.
