![]() Swim
Comments: This was a very solid swim for me - first in my age-group!!! Felt comfortable the whole time. I overcompensated a bit for my tendancy to pull right and I ended up pulling left somewhat. Overall, my sighting was much better for this race. What would you do differently?: nothing - this was a very good OWS for me. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: We had a short run on the trail from the swim finish to the transition and my bike was on the furthest end away. I felt like I got up and running in good time considering the layout. ![]() Bike
Comments: I spun up the first large hill and then put my gearing on the big ring for the rest of the ride. I tried to spin up the hills as best I could and really was grinding it out on the false flat. My bike computer says that I averaged 17.6, so I guess the official time includes some down time for dismounting and gettng across the timing pad. This was a much better ride than I was expecting. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Another solid transition for me. ![]() Run
Comments: Whoa! This is totally warp speed for me! I'm not sure I'm buying this time, but if the computer says I did it, then I guess I did it! I eased into the first straightaway and got passed by a gal in teal. I kept her in my sights the rest of the course, and with about 3/4 of a mile to go, I kicked into a higher gear and passed her back. That was fun! ![]() Post race
Warm down: walking, stretching, drinking fluids What limited your ability to perform faster: nothing - this was about as close to perfect as I've ever done. given my current level of fitness, this was the best I had to give. continuing to lose weight and work on my bike and run will help in future races. Event comments: This was a first-time race director with a first-time race at this course. The venue was ideal and all of the necessary things were in place and running smoothly. There weren't a whole lot of extras, but this was a thoroughly enjoyable small race and ideal for beginners. It was not a technical course at all, so it was good to see what I could do in an all-out sprint. Last updated: 2007-02-23 12:00 AM
