I really did not train at all for this triathlon so I was happy with the swim. Near the end I felt stronger but also my left arm felt like it was going to fall off. I always seem to shoulder problems early in the season.

Train more than 7 days.
Not play nintendo WII the day before (I played tennis the day before, so I called pain my WII injury)

Overall this was one of my better transitions the only part I had problem with was getting my left shoe into my bike.

Not Much

I felt good on the bike for only going out two days before the race. I took alittle while to getting the breathing back but I felt smooth and relaxed for most of it.

Maybe push a little harder- but not much more. I did good for the training amount I put in.

Not the best transition but I was a little rusty. forgot to unknot the shoes before the race, so I wasted about 30 secs there. Also should have tried to get off the shoes before the end of the ride.

I would reverse the bad decision I made above.

Well my legs did not feel bad on the run but I got a really bad cramp in the left side about a 1/2 mile in. I decided to try and run and work it out. It did want to go away so I just kept a slow pace until the end. This was probably my worst 5k ever but again, with 7 days of training I wasn't expecting much.

Train more
Drink more fluids.

Stretched.



Not enough training.



As all of the races in the finger lakes triathlon series this was very well run. I wish I would have trained more but my being sick for a couple of months kept me from doing that. I would definitely recommend this race to anyone doing a triathlon.
