 Swim
Comments: Great start..100 or so in my wave..Only 1 person ahead of me after first 10-15 seconds. Tried to draft but they were too fast. Then after a few minutes ended up with the next wave..Made sighting more difficult..We had 2 little white bouys for our turnaround point...and all of us were wearing white caps..Hmmm. What would you do differently?: Not much.  Transition 1
Comments: about a minute faster than last year. Still trouble with right ankle getting suit off and getting socks on could have been quicker.  Bike
Comments: This is my weak link...The bike computer had my avg at 18.9--only improved by 1/2 mph from last year...The hills (rolling though they are) just kill me. Need to spend more time on bike. What would you do differently?: Need more time on bike Transition 2
Comments: Overall t2 time pretty quick. Overan my slot though..lost a few seconds no big deal  Run
Comments: Decent improvement from last year (took off about 4 min). I knew what to expect so it was mentally better (especially that last hill) They 7:19 mile was on the one flat part of the run course. What would you do differently?: More hill training, learn to take in water while running. Post race
Warm down: none..met up with family..Ran in with madison again for the last stretch. What limited your ability to perform faster: Overall, pretty good race. For the first time i wasn't scared about blowing up on the course. Having done the distance and the hills on the run before, I didnt fear not finishing. I was actually able to push myself harder than in other races. Time was slower but pace on run and bike were quicker and the swim was longer than last year. No cramps this time on swim to bike transition. Need to train more on the bike and probably could have pushed a little harder on it...The bike run transition still has not been that hard (luckily) Event comments: Beautiful race, poor organization. Its the location and the weekend at the abbey with the kids that make it a blast. Last updated: 2006-06-28 12:00 AM

4am wakup..Bagel/cliff bar. Started on 300cal+caffeine bottle of infinit.
Got to transition at 5am..set up...Realized im really COLD!! Looked and walked around a bit..bought some coffee to warm up..About 5:40 or so..put on running shoes and warmed up a bit..8-10 min or so...This was the first time doing any real warm up besides swimming. Right glute was hurting a little but definitley got rid of the chills. Then decided to dark to ride bike. Put wetsuit on...This led to the extremely long game of WHEN DO WE START...There was still a huge line to get into transition area it was obvious there was going to be a delay. Eventually got into water to warm up...told there was even more of a delay. Now the caffeine of the am was kicking in..(coffee and my finished infinit).Ran to the portapotty.
Then they start the olympic waves...
As stated a run...which ill do again. Swimming...4-5 x out a bit and back.
Then shivering for about 15 minutes till my wave start.
