Swim
Comments: Chris lent me his wetsuit [thanks again!] which made a big difference for me. I've never done an OWS with a suit on and was amazed at the difference. What would you do differently?: Do a better job of keeping on course and steer wide of the traffic jam rounding the buoys. Transition 1
Comments: I had a really hard time getting transitioned on this one. What would you do differently?: Get my tri-shoes fit with clips so I don't feel the need to towel off my feet. Bike
Comments: The one place I do well at is the downhills and the cornering, which was mostly nullified by narrow roads and corner-cowards. What would you do differently?: Be more aggressive in getting blockers out of the way. I also, quite obviously, really need to start riding regularly again. I've been ignoring it while I focus on swim/run and the riding is really starting to fall off. Especially the hills. Transition 2
Comments: This transition went well. Of course, there wasn't really much to do in this one. What would you do differently?: Run with my gloves on. I don't see any point in spending the time to take them off for the run. Run
Comments: I had way too much left at the end. Also had a difficult time with consuming fluids on the run. The first 1/2 mile was rough until I got my heartrate under control. Overall, I'm happy with this because I did it without any breaks. That's a definite improvement. What would you do differently?: Work on upping my pace and dealing with fluid consumption on the run. Post race
Warm down: Did a lot of walking & fluid intake. Food after about 1/2 hour or so. What limited your ability to perform faster: Training, training, training. Event comments: I had a good time. I could definitely have worked harder on the bike ride [I've been using the ride as a recuperation activity rather than going all out]. I also could have run harder. I'm assuming figuring out my appropriate paces will come with experience. At least I hope so. Last updated: 2007-08-02 12:00 AM

It consisted primarily of panicking. Even though I had plenty of time, I didn't get there as early as I wanted to and then went into a rushed panic.
Treading water. :)
