Comments:

had rained earlier in the AM. I thought h20 was nice. No wetsuit.

I think Lake Wazeecha is one of the best kept secrets in state of WI. Love this little lake. The Red beach where the race takes place is very nice imo. Adjacent campground absolutely ROCKS!!!!
What would you do differently?:

Grit teeth and try harder. I need to push more and get closer to the edge. I was too relaxed and uncommitted. Grrr. Body is OK. Head is not into it.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

Hugely slow T1. Am trying to cover up and avoid skin cancer so I tried for 3 minutes + to put on a long sleeve bike jersey. Ani't gonna happen. SO I gave up and wore the t-shirt I had on prior to race.
What would you do differently?:

Dry off better and way something skimpy that I can actually put on w/o it sticking to me.

  •  min/mile
Comments:

I was at the way back of the pack. Volunteers were already taking down their stands as I was going by. Much of the water etc. was gone by the time I got to the stands.
What would you do differently?:

Run harder. Part of it was that I was talking to a guy I met on the run that was cat and mousing with me. So we decided to run together. Good talk but it slowed me down.
Post race
Warm down:

Not a whole lot.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

TRY HARDER. I could have pushed WAAAAY more but I didn't. I also could have trained WAAAAAAY more. 2007 I am doing this for time. And going for a win. I'm sick of coasting.

LOVE THIS EVENT!!!!! PERFECT TERRAIN. GREAT LOCATION. GOOD STUFF.

Event comments:

Love it. Have already done it twice. This one is on my list for a long time to come.

Attendance this year set a record. I think each year has been getting bigger. And for good reason. This is a great triathlon.
