 Swim
Comments: This was my first oly...so it was all about pacing ,yself. I didn't know how much I would have left for the run. This was a slow swim by my standards...but you live and learn. It was a fun swim. Nothing out of the ordinary, the water was clear and pleasant. I kept running over top of the same guy..he must have thought I was crazy. What would you do differently?: Go faster.  Transition 1
Comments: Decided to go with tri top only...no long-sleeve.  Bike
Comments: Not horrible. I am still too slow on the hills....everybody and their mom passed me. It all comes down to training...no joke. I have not been on the bike enough the past few months...and it showed on this bike. What would you do differently?: Ride more. Transition 2
 Run
Comments: I wasn't sure what to expect at the start of the run. Would my legs make it? Would I bonk like a mofo? I kept a good 8:45 to 9 minute pace throughout...didn't push as hard as I probably should have...but I made it, my first Olympic! Only faster from here...I need to increase time and ditance next season. I felt fast passing some of the "walkers" who ran out of gas at the end. What would you do differently?: Push harder (but I didn't have much more) Post race
Warm down: Soda and oreos...what else? Lokked around for some BTers...where were you? My son was being a crankpot, so we decided to head back before the awards. What limited your ability to perform faster: Quantity of training. Event comments: See everyone next year! Have a safe and happy offseason. I think I'm gonna focus on running for a while.

Elite 2777 In my bunk with new shoes and purple sweats. | Subject: RE: Pinehurst Triathlon You did a great job on your first Oly. Keep up the good work and hard training. It always pays off. Those hills kicked my butt pretty bad. I always like to blame it on the fact that I live in the lowcountry but the fact is...less butt=faster bike/run especially when hills are involved.

| Master 1362 Charlotte, NC | Subject: RE: Pinehurst Triathlon Congrats and nice job! Heard it was chilly out there. I was on a ride with friends over here in Charlotte that morning and thought of you all in the tri. Hopefully I'll be there with you next year! Great job! |

Champion 6962 Atlanta, Ga | Subject: RE: Pinehurst Triathlon Great job on your first Olympic. It's a whole different world when you increase distances. If you used the guide buoy's, then you might have swam longer because they were set up weird. That could account for the swim. Plus the guy should have gotten out of your way. ;P Way to keep your pace on the run. That course was hard to keep anything consistant. Hopefully we will meet up. |

Up at 3:30, left Raleigh at 4am. Arrived in the dark around 5:45. Walked half mile to race site with Corley and Parker. Ate bagel w/ PB and drank 20oz. Accelerad during drive to Pinehurst.
Quick run - maybe 5 minutes. Also quick swim 10 minutes before start. (I like to get my face in the cold wate).
