Quickly run to the Johnny on the Spot because weigh2go drove past the picnic site on the way. She thought i said that i wanted to picnic there some day & i what i really said..."i need to stop at the picnic site". What i would do differently? simply say "I GOTTA PEE, STOP THE CAR NOW!!!!"

swim was ok, once again lost all swimming form but was more relaxed than last year when i did the sprint. my body sustained a lot of kicks but none to the head. i tickle a few feet & one time my hand land between somebody's thigh. thank god wet suits are worn!
What would you do differently?:

not much, other than once again try to improve my swimming

Comments:

lost my gatorade bottle right away on the highway & my water bottle was half drunk already...so hydration was not gonna be possible. all i could was sip on the rest of my water & wait till i got to run to rehydrate at the aid stations. road was rough & my front wheel got caught on a groove that made me think that my front wheel was loose. so i pulled over to see if it was...it wasn't.
my back became sore & really comptemplating on taking off my aerobars..barely use them & i think when i do, the back gets sore.
had a chocolate cherry carboom! to kind of sample before next week's 1/2 ironman...that's good shit!
What would you do differently?:

Not lose my water bottle!!! for the morden 1/2 plan on using a camelpack instead...do anybody else use this for the bike?

Comments:

first i put on socks b4 putting on the shoes & didn't like the way the socks felt on the toes...so i took them off. took the last sip of water from my bottle.

Warm down:

grabbed a muffin, did a little stretching on the legs but not much

Event comments:

i love doing pinawa, my favourite tri of the few that i do. the bike is not very good because the roads are not great, but the organizers who put this race together i find to be the most friendly, excellent food and they all seem to have a good time.
it was decided by smartcicle & myself that this race was to be a training run for us before the morden 1/2 ironman. it wasn't design to kill ourselves in competition.

it was a good race and really if you have to pee, say it, dont say you want to have a picnic!!!! i dont do gazebo to english translation well!!! i really thought that what you meant was one day you wanted to have a picnic there, i thought yes that was weird but then your are kinda weird i mean really you shave your legs and wear a lot of spandex, so i just said yes dear and kept driving, perhaps i shouldnt drive anymore, yes thats it, you can drive, that would work for me and you can stop and pee whereever you like!!!! lol morden will be a blast and i think you shouldnt wear a watch....
