 Swim
Comments: The only flat part of the course. Decent I guess; not as fast as my typical training pace; I swam a lot of extra distance. Relatively satisfied about not being BOP. What would you do differently?: More practice in OW!  Transition 1
Comments: Westuit came off real easy. Had to sit down to put the bike shoes on. They are regular cycling shoes with two straps and a ratchet. Ran with the bike but had to stop to get on her.  Bike
Comments: HILLY! There wasn't a flat section of road on this course. Was able to kick it on the downhills, but still struggling uphill. Downhills were too short and the uphills were too long :) What would you do differently?: Practice on hills more. Transition 2
Comments: Did a little endo when jumping off. Hand grabbed the front brake by accident. Fun. What would you do differently?: Don't leave hat in backpack.  Run
Comments: Struggled on the hills: up and down. Calves were crampy from the get go, and "running" downhill didn't help. Running is not forte. I am sure that I had negative splits the whole way however. What would you do differently?: Run more. Post race
Warm down: Water and gatorade. Packed up and headed back to do house chores and cut grass. What limited your ability to perform faster: Ehh? Event comments: Fun course but really challenging. Last updated: 2007-05-18 12:00 AM

Sneaky Slow 8694   Herndon, VA, | Subject: RE: Little Pepper 2007 nice race... helluva pace on the bike, especially with all those hills. I don't think any of us enjoyed all those hills, especially on the run. You're a better man than I... household chores and the grass were the last thing I was thinking about after the race! Great job! |

| Extreme Veteran 322 Reston, VA | Subject: RE: Little Pepper 2007 Great job hitting the hills on the run and bike! To negative split the run must have taken a great amount of determination, especially on that hill by the park entrance. |

Veteran 149 King George, VA | Subject: RE: Little Pepper 2007 As I passed one of the women at the start of the second loop, I asked why do we do this. She said "Bon bons." |
That really lifted my spirits for some reason, and I gave me the energy to go faster. Weird.| 2007-06-18 9:59 PM in reply to: #847695 |

Drank a bottle of wine the night before. Not the best idea. Woke up at 0500 and got on the road at 0530 after some peanut butter toast.
Swam out to the first mark and back trying to get used to the new wetsuit.
