Swim
Comments: best swim time to date; Transition 1
Comments: What you normally call T1 is T2 in this race. After the swim, you run. The transition from run to bike was fine. The distance from the transition area to mount was longer than normal Bike
Comments: Using a mountain bike, with the type of course, I am amazed I was as fast as I was. Did not feel good the first 1/2 of the first lap. Got better as the race went on. Had to dismount and run bike across finish line Transition 2
Comments: Traditional T2 was after swim. Had hard time getting socks on. Otherwise went o.k. Much improved over first race. What would you do differently?: roll socks up as they get taken off so they can roll on. Run
Comments: I am not happy with my time on this one. It may be the climb up the dam or it may be the psychological issue of running before biking. Kept thinking that I needed to save something What would you do differently?: Run faster; maybe have a gel or flask with me Post race
Warm down: stretched What limited your ability to perform faster: mountain bike; socks in the transition area; not running as well as I would have like Event comments: Because of the reversal of bike and run, this is a shock. Also, because it includes youth, you have to be prepared to wait for your start. I did not get into the pool until almost 10. My son had been finished for over an hour by then. Otherwise a good course and good group. Lots of beginners Last updated: 2004-08-31 12:00 AM
