I am so slow!

try to get motivated!

When I look at the stats - I see that not only am I slowest in each segment of the race, I am also slowest in all of the transitions. Obviously this is a matter of attitude. There is no reason for the transitions to be slow, just because I am a slow runner - need a little work here!

Train more, of course. Get motivated.

I am pathetic in the transitions. I am not pushing like I need to. I remember specifically taking my time with a big draw on the h2o. should've kept it moving though here. Next time I am going to try to really push through the transitions and keep my hydrating to the bike and run itself - when you are actually moving!

I did actually overtake one or two folks, and was passed by one or two. If I had been more aware, I might have looked around and seen #7 for a minute at the tranisition. He blew me away in the run - 4 minutes better!

train more! Get motivated!

Had a banana and sulked some more.


poor sleep. poor preparation and motivation.


The main let down was that the web site had talked big about volleyball matches. I realiize that I am going to a triathlon, but I love a pick up match of beach volleyball. I was disappointed that I never even saw a volley ball or a court. The wind was a factor out of their control, though. I think that the location left something to be desired too. It was not like the normal crystal blue water of the gulf - don't know if this was due to the heavy rains, or because this water has a barrier island and is nore like a bay. the El Governor hotel was not a great place for an event. The bar by the poos was OK, but they didn't exactly have a great meeting place.
