Comments: This is an improvement over last year, so I'm satisfied. Still not good, but better. I hung with the pack for a while but it got tight in some areas and I was getting hit a lot so I backed off a little to make some space for myself. I would have been about 30 seconds faster but I had to stop to pee (I just can't do it while I'm moving!). What would you do differently?: Be faster ;)  Transition 1
Comments: It's a long run to transition and then I was all the way at the other end of the entrance so I had an even longer run! I tried to be quick and I am ok with this time. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Bike
Comments: I'm happy with this time. I went hard for the first 20 miles and then backed it off for the last 5 to try and get my heart rate down before the run. This is about as easy a course as you can find. Nice and flat and fast! What would you do differently?: Nothing Transition 2
Comments: I was a little slow in this transition because as soon as I got off the bike I could feel the heat. As I was making the switch I heard someone yelling "comeon!" and it vaguely sounded like Rob, but I thought "nah, it's not him." Of course it was. I guess I wasn't moving fast enough ;). What would you do differently?: Move a little faster  Run
Comments: The run can be summed up in one word: UGH. It was sooo HOT!! I couldn't keep my HR under control and I never felt like I drank enough water at the aid stations. It just sucked! But I made it back in one piece and still beat last year's time, so I'm ok with it. What would you do differently?: Not sure what I could have done here. Maybe carry some additional water? Post race
Warm down: This should be called the "cool down" description. There wasn't much water to speak of at the finish line, but I got a wet cloth and then Kelly squeezed another one over my head and that felt great! It took me a while to feel better after the finish. I drank a cold Coke and I think that was the greatest drink I have ever had. Hung out under the BT tent and ate some food, then took off. What limited your ability to perform faster: The heat. But I can honestly say I gave this race my all. I almost went sub 3, but it's ok that I didn't. I made improvement in all 3 sports from last year so I'm happy. Event comments: I loved everything about this race except the lack of beverages at the finish this year. Nice tee shirt, water bottle, plenty of aid stations, decent post-race food (at least there was some left, unlike Mooseman...). I will be back. Last updated: 2007-05-23 12:00 AM
