 Swim
Comments: (70F-SSW10-Dew66F-Hum87%-Light Rain) The swim was ugly. The water was warm and clear (you could see the bottom the whole time). The start was on a shallow sand bar sort of deal 10yds from shore. It caused the water to muddy with everyone so I felt like I was bake in Ohio (LOL). Anyway, what’s my problem? I didn’t settle in until the last third of the swim. I think being out of the pool for nearly three weeks has taken its toll. What would you do differently?: Warm-up longer. Swim in open water more often. Get back to regular pool swim asap.  Transition 1
Comments: No problem with the wetsuit or my gear. What would you do differently?: Nothing at all!  Bike
Comments: My bike was smoking although the wind kept on changing direction so I swear we had a headwind nearly the whole time. Passed lots of people to make time for my swim. Got passed by two men. That’s it! What would you do differently?: Nada. Transition 2
Comments: Pulled on socks for the run. For some reason I chose to wear my black wool-mix socks which are a bit too big for me so I had to pull them way up and the one over the ankle chip. I probably looked like a dork. What would you do differently?: Make a better sock choice.  Run
Comments: (75F-S13-Dew68F-Hum89%-Mostly Cloudy) The run was a straight out and back along a paved road with a little bit of a run across a soccer field at the start and finish. All flat. The wind definitely changed direction during the run as a dark storm cloud approached. Kept a decent pace and HR in range. I kept myself moving, lening forward and keeping my legs turning over as fast as I could. Pushed hard at the end with nothing left to give at the finish like you’re supposed to. Post race
Warm down: Walked around, got some food and visited with other racers. What limited your ability to perform faster: Poor swim. Event comments: http://www.middelmarvaymca.org/y-tri.html Last updated: 2006-05-20 12:00 AM

Master 1938  La Crosse | Subject: RE: Pocomoke Triathlon I dunno . . . "Pond swim" just sounds too much like "pond scum" doesn't it? I think we need a different phrase, something that echoes the EXTREME SPORTS fad. Let's call it . . . "intense small-water endurance" . . . or . . . "concentrated water canyoneering" . . . or . . . "tight-quarters water survival". |

Had a Clif bar and some coffee. Drove to the race site and was the fourth car to arrive. Killed time by reading inside the Y since a light rain had started to fall.
Rode my bike around the YMCA building. Swam a few minutes before the race start.
