Swim
Comments: I thought I had swum a lot faster than my time. I drafted when I could but I couldn't get a good rhythm down. I was stressed about starting in the front. What would you do differently?: Start farther back in line. Transition 1
Comments: Included with the bike time. I had a horrible T1. I wear a BreathRite strip and I lost it. Had to open another one. I lost about 30 seconds. What would you do differently?: I've got to get setup a little different. Bike
Comments: After I got on the bike I had a really fast ride. I passed about 30 people and got passed by 2. What would you do differently?: Push a little harder. Transition 2
Comments: T2 included with run time. I was very fast in T2. Maybe 15 sec. What would you do differently?: Went perfect Run
Comments: I could have pushed a little harder but I was saving myself for the last big hill that I walked up last year. This year I flew up it. What would you do differently?: Run faster. Post race
Warm down: Water..water...water What limited your ability to perform faster: After taking out the 7 realy teams ahead of me I finished in 36th place. I was 3 mins. faster than last year. A better nights sleep..sucky swim. Event comments: Race Day Events is so unorganized. They changed the swim placement 3 times. There was suppose to be no moving in the swim line. Day of race they announced move if you want to. Cut off was 300 racers..they let in 368. 8 bikes to a rack was jammed in. Awards were delayed about 2 hours. I was given 2nd place award when I was suppose to get 3rd place. The Delta Delta Delta girls were great!!! Raised a lot of money for East TN Children Hospital. Last updated: 2007-04-26 12:00 AM
