I had only done 1500 in open water once before and I beat that time by 10 minutes! I believe that my VASA trainer has really helped my swim stroke. I have some questions about the navigation on this course. The pre-race announcement was to stay close to the buoys (i did, but nobody else seemed to)...the course was a crescent.

I was fun to get out of the water with a lot of other people.

Keep training. I started a little timid. It was a tread water start, so I treaded to the back, and was slow to get into my "stride"

Forgot to put on my sunglasses. Rode 25 miles with nothing covering my eyes!

I would like to get that under 2 minutes. I am going to put my glasses with my helmet next time (not with my shoes). Cranial accessories should be kept together.

I was riding strong. When I felt weak or tired, I would just focus on my cadence, not my speed. I threw my chain in a big way in the first mile. Cost a minute on my time.

I did a 17 mile ride on friday and it was definitely hurting me on Saturday. Too much. half hour is the longest I will go, and no hills, easy pace.

Nothing

I had some cramping, I may have had too much to drink at the end of the bike.

Not much.

Marathon candy bar and some propel water. Some stretching.


I beat my goal by 10 minutes. So, at this point I think I simply need more time into my training. Love that Maffetone program on my PC Coach/Mike Pigg Triathlon software.


Good race that I will definitely do again. Lin-Mark did the timing, and had the results posted on the internet the same day!!!
