Swim
Comments: Felt really good out and around the first turn, then I quickly started feeling the fatigue in my shoulders. About half way into the swim, I swore to myself I would never race again without the proper training in all three sports. HR was through the roof coming out of the water. What would you do differently?: Train. Transition 1
Comments: Wetsuit snapped off well and went into the bag quickly. Bike
Comments: Nothing special. It took 3-4 miles to get my HR down. I was really breathing hard when I got up Main Street and out Rowe Blvd. Finally settled down and just kept a steady HIM type pace. Got passed by tons of people, but I knew the run would be rough so I didn't want to blow out what little fitness I had. Thought I had a 20mph average in me, but I obviously overestimated my abilities What would you do differently?: Train. Transition 2
Comments: Nothing special. Really took my time to get a good drink from one of my bike bottles - it was starting to warm up. Run
Comments: This was really, really painful and really, really slow. This was tough and took everything I had just to jog. I took as much water as possible at the aid stations and walked up 2/3rds of the bridge (as planned). Not my finest moment in triathlon. Once I got going down the bridge I actually finished pretty well and really enjoyed the finish into the stadium. What would you do differently?: Train. Post race
Warm down: Hung out with Dave and watched Shelly and a few other I know finish. Ate some food and hung out with my BT peeps. What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of training for the previous 10 weeks. Event comments: Fantastic course, well organized and supported. The T1 bag pickup was a mess, but thankfully I was able to find mine without too much trouble. CTA really pulled off what seemed to be a difficult race to organize. This will definitely be on the schedule again next year. Last updated: 2007-04-04 12:00 AM
