 Swim
Comments: Hard to believe that compared to the field, this was my strongest event. I guess I'm becoming a decent swimmer. Even though my time was slightly slower than last year (because of the course change), I felt great. I knew as soon as I got out of the water I should have, and could have swam faster. What would you do differently?: Swim harder.  Transition 1
Comments: I think I've got transitions wired. My T1 was 3/30. Very long, steep uphill run to transition. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Bike
Comments: Did ok on the bike course. I'm satisfied with my split. I turned off my time and speed on my computer, instead focusing on keeping a high cadence. Worked! Changing to the compact on the Tri bike was a good idea for me. What would you do differently?: Push slightly higher gear. Transition 2
Comments: T2 fastest in my AG. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Run
Comments: Hard to believe this was my worst event (in my opinion). I should have been in the 22:10-20 range. Don't know what happened. What would you do differently?: Wear my stopwatch. Run faster Post race
Warm down: walked to the transition area, changed shirts, chatted with Lou, Dollar, and others. What limited your ability to perform faster: Age? Hell, I don't know. Event comments: This is a great race. Better and more organized than last year. I was dissappointed in the lack of respect shown by racers and the organizers during the playing of the National Anthem. The race announcer actually interupted the anthem at least 4 times. That sorta pissed me off. Also, very few racers showing any reverence what-so-ever. Sad. Good race however. Last updated: 2007-09-11 12:00 AM

Pro 3883 Woodstock,GA | Subject: RE: Emerald Pointe Triathlon You must just be getting "old and slow"!  Great job on the swim, especially since you were limited in the pool this year. Have a great offseason and watch out for little girls on pink bikes! |

Champion 6107 Out running or enjoying a fine glass of red... | Subject: RE: Emerald Pointe Triathlon Excellent race & nice race report. Sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you...Kazho & I shared your irritation re: the national anthem...the director interrupting it was even worse than the spectators not respecting it. Glad you had a good race. Kristen |

Pro 4216 Sous Mon Diadème | Subject: RE: Emerald Pointe Triathlon Sounds like a very strong season finale for you. Sorry you weren't feeling the run so much but you hammered out a great split (one that I'd kill for, however, I completely understand that it's all relative). Congratulations on a great race. |

Woke up at 4:30, ate 2 eggs, a bagel, and glass of skim milk. Dressed, and left at 5:30 so as not to get caught up in the traffic jam at the park entrance like last year. Arrived around 6:15, no traffic, slowly rode over to the transition area and set-up transition.
Easy jog along the beach for about 10 minutes, then swam a couple of laps to the near buoy (about 250 yards).
