Event warmup:

The Lar Dog warm up consisted of some Dog Paddling in the Russian River. It actually was a nice warm up. I had a crappy head/throat congestion thing going on, which made me feel a bit out of it.

Comments:

I went out on the Swim WAY too hard. I went anerobic within 50 meters, and I kept pushing it. What an idiot! How many races do I need to do until I figure this part out! Geeesssshhhh.....

Comments:

I fell on my ass when I was trying to put my bike shoes on...got all dirty at the same time. Was tough to pull my wetsuit off.

Comments:

I had a solid bike, although I think I went out a tad too "HOT". I had to settle myself down and get into a good cadence and rythem, which I think I did.
It was actually COLD on the bike, and my toes were frozen when I came into T2.
What would you do differently?:

Toe warmers for the bike!
Transition 2
  • 02m 40s
Run
  • 1h 37m 2s

  • 07m 25s  min/mile
Comments:

Feet were frozen when I started the run, but it started warming up, and I could actually feel my feet by mile 3!
I had a very solid run....was my best run at Vineman in 4 attempts. I was VERY focused and I pushed hard for the entire run.

Event comments:

Winning my AG at a pretty big 70.3 event was very cool. I feel really fortunate to be able to do this kind of stuff, and I simply won't take any of it for granted.
