 Swim
Comments: SWIM WAS LAST (reverse sprint) was just fine getting in, until the staffer said "GO!" had to flip over for 2 separate 25's 'cause breathing was outta control freestyle was definitely easier than anything else though What would you do differently?: could've pushed harder I think, but pushing causes panic a little, maybe I'm afraid to go fast?  Transition 1
Comments: RUN TO BIKE put on shoes THEN got on bike, as I'm just not to that level yet feelin' good, then dropped sunglasses but didn't seem to matter much What would you do differently?: learn the "shoes-already-on-the-bike" trick  Bike
Comments: again, possible fear of going fast? at hammer gel 2 mi from bike finish damp road, did see one girl that fell on a turn What would you do differently?: push myself harder, add another water bottle even if it is cool weather don't let people pass me! (only one really did) Transition 2
Comments: BIKE TO SWIM I wish I had it on film, I think I looked like a tri-god for just a few seconds with my dismount stripped everything off fine had earplugs in trisuit pocket (handy) grabbed cap & goggles donned on the way to pool What would you do differently?: find some means of taming the mane, having to deal with RE-pony-tailing is irritating  Run
Comments: longest damned 1.5 mile on the way back after turn around talking to people takes my mind off the fact that I'm running I relax some felt pretty good overall What would you do differently?: take a handy bottle of water to sip do some more run-specific TRAINING fear of going fast again mostly likely that I don't want to spend it all (the run was first this time, so I guess that's logical) but there's something in there along the lines of "speed-up-but-not-too-fast-don't-want-to-exert-and-hurt" just confuses my body Post race
Warm down: walk around a lot at first cross of finish had small trouble breathing for almost 1 minute, but it passed didn't vomit, although I didn't want to eat anything for a while What limited your ability to perform faster: my mind could've trained a bit more in week & half prior but was difficult travelling, etc. (holidays you know) Event comments: they gave away a truck (with key drawing) i wish they'd had a massage tent the only other tent besides Tri4Life Tent was an antioxidant drink thing local event, and since it's my first one, no frame of reference for what else there may be Last updated: 2007-10-17 12:00 AM

| 1 | Subject: RE: Tri4Life Superseries Hi, I was online looking around the other day & noticed this race on the calendar for November this year. I called the pool to verify the date & they said the company didn't show up last year. I didn't read anything in your report about that. I was wondering if you noticed anything last year. They said they do not know if there is a triathlon scheduled at their pool b/c they haven't heard from tri4life.
are you planning on doing this again & have you spoken to anyone? thanks for your time |
