 Swim
Comments: My whole goal for the swim today was to not go out too fast and just rely on form and technique to deliver a decent swim time. I've come to realize that pushing too hard on the swim does nothing but slow you down and cause you to hyperventilate. What would you do differently?: I need to get into some masters swim classes to improve techinque and become more efficient to lower swim times.  Transition 1
Comments: Felt good about the T1 - Ranked 4th overall. What would you do differently?: nothing  Bike
Comments: This is the big success of the day for me. Going into last season all I wanted to do was average over 20 mph on a sprint race. Today I actually reached over 21 MPH.....However, I never could have done it if I wasn't running from jackrabbit Peter the whole time!!! I knew he would catch me, I was just trying to prolong that as long as possible. What would you do differently?: nothing Transition 2
Comments: Good transition, ranked 8th Overall! What would you do differently?: nothing  Run
Comments: Peter & I dueled it out on the run. I was chasing some guy in my wave, but just couldn't reel him in at the end. He finished 8 seconds ahead of me! We were side by side on the big uphill. I was able to charge up the hill and drop him, but he caught me on mile three and I just couldn't hold him off. What would you do differently?: nothing--BROKE 7 MINUTE PACE FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER IN A TRIATHLON!!! Post race
Warm down: Got a few pics with my family, talked to my fellow Tri4Him teammates. We talked about how awesome the competition between the three of us was today. What a blast!! There was just over a minutes distance between the three of us!! What limited your ability to perform faster: Need to work on faster swim times. Last updated: 2007-04-14 12:00 AM

Member 61 Olathe, KS | Subject: RE: BikeSource Triathlon I'd be glad to have a conversation about transition. I've gotten some pretty good tips over the years |

Member 61 Olathe, KS | Subject: RE: BikeSource Triathlon Thanks...this race is a great way to officially start the season. Fun course and it's great for spectators with the 3 loop bike and passing transition twice on the run. |

Extreme Veteran 732 Omaha, USA | Subject: RE: BikeSource Triathlon I thought it was great they passed the transition area so many times too. I'm all ears on the transition tips. I thought I did really well, but I'm sure I could have done something better. |

Got bike racked around 5:45, then had a two hour wait until the 7:45 am wave start. Hung around and talked to Paulin.
Stretched then ran little less than a mile about 20 minutes before the race start. Wound up my speed a few times on the run to get ready for the feel of pushing the speed.
