 Swim
Comments: Challenging swim for the 1st time I've done it. I was never quite sure where I was going, but made the best of following/drafting the other swimmers. What would you do differently?: Next year, I'll know the course better. I felt incredibly fast at the start, and actually was leading early. But, fell back and got into my pace.  Transition 1
Comments: Lost about 10-15 secs with the wetsuit. Starting on the bike really felt week. What would you do differently?: I should practice the wetsuit transition.  Bike
Comments: Got passed initially, then was able to hold my position and pass a couple riders. What would you do differently?: I could've pushed harder initially out of the transition and wouldn't have dropped so much time. Transition 2
Comments: A pretty slow transition here too. What would you do differently?: I just wasn't focused here, and lost another chunk of time because of it. It would help for me to give some training time to the transitions as well!  Run
Comments: Felt like I ran a quick pace for me! But I got passed the ENTIRE 5k! I almost ran sub-8min miles, and still wasn't able to hold my position in the race. Here's where the focus will be in the off-season!!! I felt great off the bike, and was able to bring it home in a pretty good sprint. What would you do differently?: It all comes down to training. I feel great about the run I had, other than tons of guys passing me. Post race
Warm down: Felt like I was going to puke at the finish line, but that subsided quickly. Grabbed some water, cytomax and a 1/2 banana. Felt good in about 5 minutes. What limited your ability to perform faster: For my ability and amount of time I have to train, I'm happy with this race! I impressed myself with the swim and bike, disappointed myself with the transitions, and was satisfied with the run. Event comments: I'll be back next year. Last updated: 2006-04-23 12:00 AM

Not much at all. It was an early start, and we had to be bussed over to the swim start.
I got in the water and did about 200yds, that's it.
