Swim
Comments: I did horribly on this. I could not forward crawl through the chop. The side stroke and the back stroke were my friends. What would you do differently?: Forward crawl a lot more. Transition 1
Comments: I have to put my bike shoes on before leaving transition. My bike shoes are actually meant for mountain biking. I might upgrade one of these days. I also wasted some time putting on the toe socks I wear when doing more than 5k in my Vibram FiveFingers running shoes. What would you do differently?: Not wear toe socks. A better swim would help as well, I cramped up a little, and massaged it out during T1. Bike
Comments: I could have done better. This was not one of my better cycling performances. I have some mechanical issues to fix. I am thinking of doing some upgrades to my bike, if not upgrading to an all together better bike. What would you do differently?: Perform better in the swim. I use the ride to recover from the swim before the run. Too much of the ride was spent recovering. Transition 2
Comments: Shoe changes are lengthy when you use mountain biking shoes for the ride. What would you do differently?: Not much. Just don't have the funds to get better equipment yet. Run
Comments: I gassed out and suffered a lot of cramping. Kept pushing, though. I did walk a lot, but I kept going! What would you do differently?: Run more, walk less. Post race
Warm down: Just walked it off. What limited your ability to perform faster: Had a bad day before the race. Only had about 2 hours of sleep before driving 1.5 hours to get to the race. Training exclusively in a pool left me ill prepared for the swim, also. I wasn't ready for the choppiness. Last updated: 2012-07-20 12:00 AM
