Run
Comments: The start was unbelievably fast. I mean these people started out waaay too fast. At one point I was running a 6.40 pace. I kept saying to myself, "Run your own race.". I was right and passed several after the turnaround. What would you do differently?: I can't think of anything. The time was 00:40 off my PR for a 5k. Transition 1
Comments: I'm not sure where the time goes. I think I just run through a check list in my head instead of just grabbing my helmet, bike and rolling on. What would you do differently?: I need to practice transitions. Bike
Comments: I had some stomach discomfort around mile 10 and I'm not sure why. It continued through the bike and then after the race. It was just upset. It seems my calf cramps are back. (Man, I feel whiny). I increased my nutrition from every 10 to every 5 minutes and popped a Gu. I think it kept them in check. They were painful but managable. Overall, the bike was just tough. What would you do differently?: I may have peed out all my electrolytes (given I peed 4 times prior to the race). I need to take my pills closer to the start and remember to sip my drink during the morning. Transition 2
Comments: A running dismount off the bike with leg cramps worried me so I came to a complete stop and ran through. I took my time, had a drink, stretched my calves and went off on my way. Run
Comments: The grade was a bit more noticable this go-around. Post race
Warm down: I had a water and part of a banana then my stomach started getting upset again (what is that all about?!?!) so I rested in the shade a bit then tried to keep my legs moving. I reluctantly skipped the beer tent. Event comments: The event was well organized. Tri-Okc (local club) really does a good job of putting on events. Last updated: 2006-11-25 12:00 AM

Steph volunteered so we had to be on-site at 8.00am (the gun was at 10.00). I had oatmeal, 1/2 cup of coffee and Gatorade.
Ran .25m, had a Gu, visualized my transitions.
