![]() Swim
Comments: Scared to death to start and throughout course. Almost drowned and wanted to quit until after first bouy. Rolled on side to breathe so I wouldn't enhale water. Exhausted and disoriented after race. What would you do differently?: More practice in open water. Fine tune technique to use much less energy. eat more before race ![]() Transition 1
Comments: way too long. Swim left me disoriented and I lost complete focus on what I needed to do. What would you do differently?: Practice, eat/drink on bike. Run to bike and out of transition area. ![]() Bike
Comments: Gel shot at transition What would you do differently?: Practice shifting and drinking in motion. Improve technique to gain more power and use less energy. Use clips. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Started gel shot finished half way through run. What would you do differently?: Practice transitioning. Eat/drink on run not at trans area. ![]() Run
Comments: Exhausted and very hot. Starting race so late made the course even hotter. Sprinted into finish. Need to practice running on hills and interval training. What would you do differently?: Replenish more prior to race. Pick up the pace. ![]() Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of sleep for the 3 nights leading up to the race. Stress due to numerous motor home repairs. Needed to eat and drink much more morning of race. Race starting 1 hour late. Fear of swim distance and lack of motivation to race by the time wave started. Event comments: Lots of effort to get to race. Only saw Keri for a few minutes before and after. Would like to enter next year to actually make my original goal of 1:35 or better, but getting to race was a huge expense and very exhausting. Should not have given myself any expectations of finishing time especially since I hadn't seen the course. Race was more of a headache than a thrill and I was just glad to get it over with. 2nd Tri I completed, working toward goal of 3 this year. Last updated: 2004-07-26 12:00 AM
