 Swim
Comments: Felt better about the swim then time reflects. Kept my head down and NEVER stopped swimming to sight. Felt good about the line I took. What would you do differently?: Swim harder  Transition 1
Comments: Transition went well until I realized that I forgot to gear down my bike and there was a hill coming out of T1. I almost couldn't get going with only one shoe clipped in. What would you do differently?: gear down...learn to jump on the bike  Bike
Comments: Borrowed PPaulin's aero helmet. I knew these things made a difference, but I had never used one on a course I was familiar with. On the big downhill on the backside of the course, the helmet improved my top speed by almost 2 MPH!!! Transition 2
Comments: OK, so I come blazing into the bike rack and kind of forgot that the Transition are is NOT flat. I was moving downhill, flung my bike onto the rack and the whole rack fell over...luckily there was only one other bike on the rack(a vintage 80's 10 speed). I froze for about 2 seconds trying to figure out if I was going to pick up the bikes or just take off. About that time I saw a yellow volunteer shirt appear out of the corner of my eye. I yelled THANKS and took off! WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID, MY T2 TIME WAS EIGTH OVERALL!! What would you do differently?: be a little more controlled while racking the bike.  Run
Comments: I thought I was doing well on the run. My strategy was to just get through the first mile without pushing too hard due to the hills. I ran a sub 8 2nd mile but I just couldn't hold onto the pace knowing that I had to climb those last two hills going to the finish. What would you do differently?: push harder on the pace! Post race

Extreme Veteran 444 Olathe, KS | Subject: RE: Shawnee Mission Triathlon - International Distance Way to take out the bike rack!  You were blazing fast in that transition, too... I tried to take your picture but you were too fast for me! So how did you sight on the swim? Following somebody? I don't remember SMP lake being very clear... but that's great that you were able to do that. Nice race overall - good to see you out there! |

Member 61 Olathe, KS | Subject: RE: Shawnee Mission Triathlon - International Distance Thaks for the comments! Funny thing about the swim. I figured out, a few years ago, that way off in the distance, looking across the lake from the swim start there is a white house in the woods, on the hill. I barely look at the bouys until I get past the boat dock. I just focus on the house!!
