![]() Swim
Comments: Good start. Faded into sidestroke and breast stroke fairly quickly.Goggles fogged up badly for the last half. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: T1 time was added into the swim time along with a 340 yd jog from the beach into the transition area. ![]() Bike
Comments: Biking was improved over last year. Next year I may bring an improved bike. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: T2 time was added into the run I believe. What would you do differently?: Will consider getting some trishorts, as I changed out of biking into running shorts. ![]() Run
Comments: As usual, the first half mile was on lead legs. Loosened up after that, but the last 3 miles was the run/walk combo. What would you do differently?: Not drink as much. I pour a lot of water on my head, but I still drank too much. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Walk, stretch, chocolate chip cookie, Gatorade. What limited your ability to perform faster: Primarily not enough training. A road bike would help. Event comments: This was my second time doing the Niles Triathlon (the 23rd anniversary of the race). It was my intro into the tri world last year. After surviving it, I figured I could do just about anything. Next year I'll be back to pursue a new PR. Last updated: 2004-09-10 12:00 AM
