The gal in front of me was tooooo slow. She was nice, but to pass her I had to really poor on the jets. She would speed upto prevent me from passing. Her pace was at my breast stroke pace.

Next year I'll blow it out and shoot for 8:00-9:00. The 9:34 was pretty easy for me at this point as 500m seems so short.

Taking it easy as this is not anything like the IMAZ transition. I'll start sweating these for my mid season sprints.

I just decided to keep the HR around 160, which was an easy and comfortable pace. I wasn't racing, and I feel like I could knock 5 minutes or so off of this time next year. Except for the headwind, I held 20mph+ for most of the race.

Nothing really. I felt pretty good, but I couldn't really cut loose. I'd like tosee what I could do without limitations ofthe IMAZ training.

My bike computer was out and the Garmin MPH wasn'tworking. That's why I just picked someonewho was going at a reasonable pace and followed.

I wasn't trying to go all that fast here. Just relaxing and enjoying the race.

Not wear socks.

If I hadn't run 16 miles on Thursday I think I could do 7.5minute miles or even less. I hadn't recovered and I was hurting in the quads a lot. I look forward to seeing what I can do with a reasonable taper.

Not much. This was a good effort for me.

Walking for tenminutes. Active stretch.


This was a "C" race for me. I still met my goal of bettering my time from last year. I paced myself well and The fact that the race seemed so much easier this year with improved time makes me realize that I have come along way.
Goals for next year will be to break 1:10 and try to place in Clydes (If I still weigh over 200!)


I met De Cracker and Run4yrlf at the race. I picked up some good tips. We were going to meet for lunch, but I got lost and didn't have phone numbers. Sorry guys!
