Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 4:00 had a bagel with cream cheese and some orange juice. I think the OJ came back to haunt me during the run

Swim

10m 56s
547 yards
01m / 100 yards

Comments:

First time in a wetsuit it felt great. I was actually passing people on the swim so I poured it on. That was a mistake about halfway through the swim I started breathing hard due to the fact that I was swimming faster than my normal pace. I then started to feel very resticted in the wetsuit.

What would you do differently?:

Go at my own pace ignore everyone else.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

It was great meeting you this weekend. That time's not too shabby after shoulder surgery! I'll be running at 0-dark-thirty through the park this Thurs and Sat. Maybe I'll catch you there. More likely, you'll catch me.

Cheers, LJ.

Nice race! It was a good one to get started with, that's for sure - it's such a great location for a tri. I'm sorry I didn't find you before the swim start, I must have been too busy yapping with the Mosc sisters and jen and alison! So I'm glad I did at least see you at packet pickup
