 Swim
What would you do differently?: SWIM!  Transition 1
Comments: long run for my AG. we were not allowed to mount until well onto pavement. What would you do differently?: need to learn to do flying starts  Bike
Comments: I was off from not swimming, not warmed up, and probably could have pushed harder earlier. overall ok What would you do differently?: push harder Transition 2
What would you do differently?: learn to get out of shoes on bike  Run
Comments: I am pleased that I kept running though the heat REALLY got me. I know I did not hammer the bike so I need to figure out this psoas thing - I think I have some scar tissue from surgery in lower abdomen that triggers this. What would you do differently?: run faster Post race
Warm down: at the end I hurt. I almost started crying when they put the wet towel on me. withing 5 minutes I was ok. went and got a beer, stood on line for food.... What limited your ability to perform faster: heat, lack of swim... Event comments: There was NO hint that they might cancel the swim - and again, the day before was just as rough so that was incredibly disappointing. Since they let the pros swim I wish we had been given an 'at your own risk' option, or a shorter swim or something. It really threw me and the long brick was fine but of course I would have done a longer bike. Just looked at my chicago data and my bike was better here even with all the turns, run was better (same issue as chicago) and I KNOW my swim has improved so for sure I would have beat that time Last updated: 2008-12-01 12:00 AM

slept ok, woke up a lot. Got up at 5, gathered gear, met Michele (drcherrybomb) in the lobby and we drove to site, parked and walked over. As we walked over we found out the swim was canceled due to rough water....Now it did not look any worse than the day before, when we all swam. but apparently the buoys blew off and the kayaks could not get in the water. Not sure why they did not just shorten the swim, bringing it closer to shore...
well this was tough, because we lined up in numeric order and q 2 sec were sent into transition as though we had just exited swim. It was windy out therefore tough to GET warm.
