Swim
Comments: I started out very strong, drafting off whoever was in 1st in our wave. I kinda lost it around the bouy and then really lost it when we caught the division in front of us. I just couldn't get a clean line through and I started seeing red caps catch me. It was frustrating that I couldn't find a good line, but the good news is that I KNOW I can swim faster than that so I can only continue to improve! What would you do differently?: Hold the draft longer and try to stay focused through the mid section. Transition 1
Comments: First running mount of my career and it went pretty smoothly. My T still could have been faster if I had been just a tiny bit more aware of my surroundings and not thinking so much. It will eventually become second nature... What would you do differently?: nothing Bike
Comments: My legs were stiff heading up Old Stage and I kinda hurt, but in hind sight, my pace and cadence were good and not many people were passing me on the hill. I was just trying to remind myself that that was the TOP with a long fast descent followed by a long fast flat before hitting ANY other hills so once I topped it, I was GOLDEN. I was SO close to 20 mph it hurt, but I hit my goal of 19 so I feel pretty good with it! What would you do differently?: make my legs not feel like rocks starting the climb (not sure how, but worth a shot...) Transition 2
Comments: My helmet was actually off before I got to the rack - I was thinking this time :) the rack was empty, which made me happy!! My sneaks could have been positioned better, but hey, I can't complain, I had the 3rd fastest T2 in my AG I think (faster than the winner AND the 3rd place person) What would you do differently?: Nada! Run
Comments: I felt hot, and couldn't keep my HR/ breathing under control. Every time I tried to push my pace under 8 min/mi I exploded! I don't know what it was, but I think I didn't hydrate and consume enough on the bike, and my tummy didn't want anything during the run, so I just tried to sip a little water. I KNOW I can knock minutes off this run - again no place to go but up! What would you do differently?: mentally challenge myself a little better and drink more on the bike. Post race
Warm down: little jog and food and beer with lots of BTers! What limited your ability to perform faster: mental games on the run and lack of hydration. Also mentally in the water. Lack of swim training. Event comments: It was SOOOOO great to see everyone out there today and I can't say how wonderful it is to have so much support on the course. Thanks to everyone for making this a great day :) Last updated: 2006-06-18 12:00 AM

Got up at 4:30 grabbed my PBJ and coffee and was late meeting Adam & Ryan in the parking lot. They were rightfully mad - SORRY GUYS!! (I was about 10 min late...) Got to the race, set up transition and starting getting into race mindset.
jogged about 1.5 miles with Stacey. Did a pickup and some high knees and other drills just to get things movin. Did a lap out to the pier and back in the water to get the cobwebs out. I felt sluggish warming up in the water and the water was warm!
