Swim
Comments: I set my goal for the swim at 8:00 to 8:15. Hit the 8:15 mark. My swim was strong for this level of training. Felt good coming out of the pool. What would you do differently?: Nothing. I hit my race objectives pretty much dead on. Transition 1
Comments: I had problems with my shoes. Not a big deal but I need to work on this. What would you do differently?: Practice transition a bit more. Bike
Comments: This course was short and I barely had time to settle into a rhythm before it was done. I rode faster than my goal of 18 mph. I didn't drink enough because I usually forget to until later in the ride...there was no "later in the ride." What would you do differently?: Drink more. Transition 2
Comments: This was a good transition for me. It could have been a little faster but I felt good about it. What would you do differently?: Practice more transition on my brick days. Run
Comments: I set a goal of 10 min/mi for the run and thought it was unrealistic. I actually ran 9.5 min/mi. I was very happy about that. A goal I set for myself early in the season was to run a 5k in less than 30 min. I thought I'd do that as a run only not in a Triathlon. I almost stepped on my jaw because I couldn't believe my 1.6 mi split time. What would you do differently?: Nothing Post race
Warm down: Yeah right. What limited your ability to perform faster: My goal was to hit the 1 hour mark for total time. I ran a 1 hour 30sec total time. There was no way I could have raced faster than what I did. I was proud to set up a training plan and set realistic goals for myself and hit them. I ran this race last year and knocked off 15 minutes wich was about 25%. Event comments: The only complaint I had with the race orginization was that there was not enough water provided on the run. The only place to get it was on the turn around. I was dehydrated long before that. Last updated: 2006-05-24 12:00 AM

Ate my normal pre-race smoothy and zone bar. 45 minutes to race time I had a gel and lots of water.
Not much. Mulled around chatted with the fellas.
