 Swim
Comments: I wansn't really ready for the start. I mean I was suited up had all of my stuff, but when they said 10 minutes I didn't realize how quick that would go by. I ended up at the back and I quickly figured out I should have been up a bit further. Once I got a lane and/or figured out how to get by some people. I thought I would settle down, but then the OWS anxiety started setting in. It seemed like the swim took forever. I think I took a good line because I was alone most of the swim and I finished pretty well considering I started in the back. What would you do differently?: Be more ready to get in the water and get a decent starting positions. I also need to figure out how to relax more in the water.  Transition 1
Comments: I decided to hook my shoes to the pedals so that I wouldn't have to run the 100 yards in my cleats. As I've mentioned in my blog, that didn't turn out so well. Each shoe ended up unclipping and I had to get off the bike and put my shoes on and then get back on. 20-25 people passed me. What would you do differently?: Either practice having my shoes attached to the bike or run with my shoes on.  Bike
Comments: The above time includes my T1 & T2 times. My bike computer said I averaged around 18.5 for the bike portion, which is great for me. I was pushing pretty hard, especially at the end when I was trying to hold a guy off, which I did. What would you do differently?: Train more to become stronger in the bike. Transition 2
Comments: I felt again that I was quick in transition. I wished they would have had times because I thought it was one of my strong points. Now who knows. I ripped off my stuff, threw on my running shoes and hat and I was off. What would you do differently?: Nothing.  Run
Comments: I was really surprised when I saw this split. This was better than my 4th of July 5k by over a minute. I was stoked. I picked a guy that was faster than me and just stayed with him and decided I wanted to beat him. I think it helped me motivate and pass the time. I ended up passing him and holding him off. We laughed about our battle after the race. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Post race
Warm down: I grabbed some water and went over and met with the family. Walked around with them and went over and got a 5 minute massage. That was nice. What limited your ability to perform faster: Pre-race/first-timer nerves, trying some new things in the race that I hadn't practiced and probably my three days in Vegas the week before...ha ha. Event comments: I thought it was a great race for a beginner. I had a great time and would recommend it for begginers. Otherwise it might be a bit short for the money.

Expert 709 | Subject: RE: Jamba Juice Triathlon on Mission Bay Thanks for the kudos everyone, I really appreciate it. My goal was to train to make sure I could finish and not kill myself. It would appear I did better than what I set out, which really is nice. |

Woke up and grabbed a bar and some water. Changed and took off to get a parking spot. Checked in, found my rack and went to get body marked. Went back to transition and had a ton of time to go through all of my gear and get everything setup how I wanted to.
Didn't do much of anything. I just wandered around and took everything in. My nerves and adreline basically had me going. Probably not ideal for the future, but it worked this day.
