Swim
Comments: The swim seemed to have a current. I was looking at the seagrass and it did not move under me as i swam. Either a csmall current or i was really slow on the swim. What would you do differently?: Swim faster Transition 1
Comments: T1 started on the beach when we exited the water, then we had a long (.25mi) run in the sand up to the transition where i sat to put on my socks and bike shoes and peed. Bike
Comments: I really concentrated on getting enough hydration and thought I would try the nutrition thing. I had filled two water/gel bottles so I had 4 gel packs accelerade, and around 60 oz water. I ate all and drank all and it certainly would prove to make a difference on the run. The bike was good although the climbs beat me up. I am familiar with the bridge as I train there, but it does not make it any less of a challenge. I saw Jamie (piperfl) on the first climb and she looked good. I really felt good on the bike and tried to hold 20-22mph exceot for the bridge climbs. I kept a good cadence as well. What would you do differently?: Train climbing more and lose some more weight Transition 2
Comments: Had a good T2 - I was off the bike quick and into my shoes and running Run
Comments: I really drank all i could on the bike and at the two gels. I ate another gel on the way out of T2 and drank more water. I really felt good on the first 1.5 miles which I did not have to stop. Then I began the walk/run deal, but I felt a million times better than St As so the hydraiton helped. I don't know how I could have gotten more hydration on the bike because I had three bottles on there already and could have used more. I really felt a lot better about the run and much less exhausted on the run. I was able to finish strong. What would you do differently?: Train more and a little more hydration on the bike Post race
Warm down: Stretched and ate bananas What limited your ability to perform faster: Training. Last updated: 2007-04-27 12:00 AM

Ate sushi prerace on south beach and stayed at the loews where it was nice and comfortable. Asleep by 10:15 and up at 4:30. We had picked up our packets on Friday so we just parked and labeled our gear and went to setup transition. There were no lights in transition so i need to remember to bring one of my headlamps next time.
Met up with Jamie (piperfl) and i saw mimi (mimir) and her husband before the race. It is always awesome seeing fellow BTers.
Stretched a little and wlaked out to the beach from transition which was a long walk.
