![]() Swim
Comments: swim had been cancelled due to high winds, so race turned into a du, with a 3k first leg...virtually a sprint, finished 81st in this leg. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: quick transition, couldn't have been more than about 1.5 mins. Shoes off, helmet on, grab a gel, take bike from rack and go ![]() Bike
Comments: After turn, wind a little behind us (more across, but a little help), and I kept losing the gear I needed, so probably lost a little time on the way back...trying not to burn myself out, so I wouldn't bonk on run...maybe a little conservative What would you do differently?: Go for it a little more...still some in tank...time for a new bike...this race convinced me...now I just have to convince my wife... ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Quick...rack bike, ditch helmet, change sunglasses, go...grabbed gatorade off of bike, to finish in early run, and took off...can't tell exactly how long transitions were, as they both seem to be incorporated into bike time... ![]() Run
Comments: Picked up a run buddy, and paced well throughout the 10k...would have been more than happy with a 53 minute 10k at the outset, so I guess I can't complain...passed a few people back, that I had lost during bike...strong run What would you do differently?: nothing...real happy with both run times ![]() Post race
Warm down: stretch...eat...stretch What limited your ability to perform faster: shin splints still aching...no sharp pain, but can feel it on every stride...bike is killing me... time for a new one Event comments: Well done for a small race...populated with very good athletes...wonder if that is the price for moving to olympic distance...very serious competition...guy that I ran with, I had been with for the whole bike as well...first time I have actually had someone on my pace, what a difference not doing it alone...was looking forward to the 1500m swim, as a trial for the 1/2 IM in august, but, back to the pool, I guess Last updated: 2004-07-28 12:00 AM

Got there early enough to stretch, and take in some gatorade. Wind had cancelled the swim (10 ft. swells in lake huron) so some minor adjustments to transition bag, and race strategy necessary.
Ran some pickups
