Swim
Comments: Zig zagging guy was swimming into me, after 3rd time used clothesline to his ear move.Breast stroke guy had me blocked in, two lines on both sides trying to pass, too big to go under, had to wait my turn. Did not get kicked or punched. Stopped way too much. What would you do differently?: Had to pass too many people and got blocked too many times. Need to swim way more aggressive and start more twards inside. Swim with wetsuit, water was not cold but it was a advantage that most people used except me. Transition 1
Comments: Hill right out of transition made it difficult. What would you do differently?: Go Faster. Bike
Comments: Specialized mountain bike got me into the race but did me no favors, average speed without downhills was 13 mph. Tire humm from the knobbie tires was freaking people out, it almost sounded like a semi truck comming at them. passed by entire age group as well as others, lost track at 52. What would you do differently?: Race with tri bike with clip on pedals, wont be anytime soon! Transition 2
Comments: Very smooth, already had running shoes on from bike. Run
Comments: Way too tired from riding mountain bike, knees did well just ran a snails pace. What would you do differently?: More agressive on run also, include more hills in training. Post race
Warm down: jogged and walked in sand, walked on grass back to bike. What limited your ability to perform faster: First race, truck was stolen friday with all of my race gear inside, mountain bike was very difficult to ride, too tired entering run. Was not even nervous and slept great, very dissapointed. Last updated: 2007-05-04 12:00 AM
