Swim
Comments: The wind was pretty strong. Steady at 18 mph with gusts up to 23 mph. Some whitecaps on the lake. My swim was not good at all. Started in the crawl, but couldn't maintain. Switched over to the breaststroke. Was very slow. What would you do differently?: Learn to swim the crawl better! Transition 1
Comments: Did ok in the transition. Ranked 100 out of 164. Bike
Comments: Arms and legs were tired from doing the breaststroke. Hard to maintain steady pace. The ISM Adamo seat was awesome. The wind really kicked my butt on the last mile when the course turned back into it. What would you do differently?: Work on more bricks. Transition 2
What would you do differently?: Need to fuel and hydrate better during the bike. Took time to do that in T2. Run
Comments: Head saying go, but body said no. Still, I completed it. Post race
Warm down: Walked around. Drank recovery shake. What limited your ability to perform faster: 1. Nerves 2. Need to plan out taper better. Felt flat in all the events. 3. Drop some more weight. 300 lbs at race time Event comments: EVERYBODY was super friendly. My thanks go out to Tanya, Holly, and Buzz. Last updated: 2008-05-29 12:00 AM

Woke up at 4:30 and drank a Gatorade and whey protein shake. Drove to the race site that was about an hour away.
Didn't do enough here. Was nervous about this being my first tri and didn't focus on what I should have been doing.
