 Swim
Comments: I felt very good in the water, good breathing, stroke felt good. I alternated between a free style down 1 lane to a backstroke return. What would you do differently?: Will freestyle entire swim at OU on the 28 of April 2012!  Transition 1
Comments: It was very cold! I believe 44 degrees when I exited the pool to the transition area. I WILL take my glasses into pool area from now on! I was not aware that you could take anything that you did not intend to SWIM with in the pool area. I did not enjoy the 1:45 hour wait until swim, but what can you do, pool swim. Overall I felt REALLT GOOD about swim!! What would you do differently?: Take glasses into the pool area. Air Force will not pay for lazer vision correction yet!  Bike
Comments: Great as described above! What would you do differently?: Practice shifting. Transition 2
Comments: Cold Temperatures made things slower! What would you do differently?: Move a little faster! Going to try a Tri short rather than Tri bikini. I do like the bikini though for you can throw on a good pair of cycling pants/shorts and you have a double pad! I switched from cycling shorts to running shorts (vanity thing)! Went well, I think. Just speed up a bit!  Run
Comments: Wow, I got off the bike, transitioned, and my legs were "confused". I started out at a very slow almost shuffle for the first 200 - 300 yds. I got to the water station just past mile 1, got a drink and all of a sudden legs said "time to go". I felt stronger the longer I ran! I got to mile 2 and started to "open up"! I had a nice kick left at the finish! What would you do differently?: Nothing, keep running! Post race
Warm down: Mini-walk, bagel with cream cheese and WATER, WATER, WATER!! Medal and went to TA to "tear down"! What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing that I can think of. Event comments: This was a great FIRST Triathalon! I wish the weather would have been just a bit warmer and no rain, but this is Ohio and it's a great challenge! Overall MUSF did a GREAT job putting together a GREAT event! Met some great people and I am IN! Scheduled for OU the next weekend and plan to do 2-3 more this summer/fall. THANKS Miami and Go Redhawks! Last updated: 2012-04-21 12:00 AM
