 Swim
Comments: Just an OK swim. I should have done much better. The time has the run to T1 lumped in so I was only in the water around 7:30 with a 30 second run on slippery concrete, grass, and asphalt. What would you do differently?: Pushed a touch harder and start further up; I passed 4 people in the water and was moving up on another.  Transition 1
Comments: Great T1. Probably the fastest I've gone through T1. What would you do differently?: Use the restroom prior to the swim;).  Bike
Comments: Slower ride than I expected. I started out kind of slow and was just feeling out the course. On The second of two laps I passed a Litespeed Blade. I was really happy about that:). What would you do differently?: Push harder on the first lap. Transition 2
Comments: Great T2 for me. Again this was very quick and today I was not hindered by a knee brace to put on. What would you do differently?: Fix the rear skewer so the rear wheel doesn't fall off when racking my bike!  Run
Comments: I got a bad cramp in the right calf about 100 yards out and had to stop and stretch for two minutes. The inclines were long and shallow while the declines were short and steep. My knees were not happy. What would you do differently?: Not sure what I'd can do about earning a cramp at that point. I had a lot of fluids on the bike and I brought a bottle of Gatoraide and a Gu pack. Post race
Warm down: Lots of stretching of the legs. What limited your ability to perform faster: The steep downhills killed my knees. Event comments: DCB Adventures is very polished and had all their ducks in a row for this race. Last updated: 2006-07-01 12:00 AM

Always nice to have SOMEONE cheering for you!) Did you like how I mounted my bike too soon? Haha! What a dork!
