Comments:

Goggles fogged up bad, made it very difficult to sight while looking into the rising sun
What would you do differently?:

Goggle anti-fog before every race
Could have been a little harder effort. After last race was timid on going out too fast and bonking in the run again.

Slowed down a bit from previous race to save energy for the run. Took more liquid and drank it throughout the ride. Ended ride well hydrated and in good shape for the final leg.
What would you do differently?:

Little harder effort throught the course. Conciously held back due to last race experience.

MUCH BETTER RUN! Felt in control the entire run. Nice, comfortable pace allowed me to run the entire leg, no walking except through water stops.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing!
Post race
Warm down:

Walk, stretch, hydrate and feed!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

One day before my 40th B-day and family chose to skip the event. I didn't push the issue. Overall an emotional let-down that impacted my overall drive.

Event comments:

Placed 5th in age group and got a plaque - COOL! Planning to race the series in 2007 - should have a good chance at an overall placing!
