Swim
Comments: Out to first buoy went well, at each buoy had problems circling the buoy. Navigation was dead on. I don't think I could have swam a straighter line to each buoy. Did draft occasionally, but it was hard to see the the swimmmer and continue to draft. I would get out of balance at each buoy and it became hard to start moving again. About 1/2 the way through each lap I would regain my form (or what is of it) and start doing better. The beach exit had lots of rocks which made it difficult to run into the water and onto the beach. Swim to transition area run time of 1:58 What would you do differently?: Draftting skills could be improved. Open water swimming balance could be improved. Maintained head too high. Transition 1
Comments: Swim to trans run time of 1:58 Transition 1:44 Bike
Comments: Biking went fairly well except for the drafting penalty. What would you do differently?: Maintain head down aero position longer. Transition 2
Comments: Missed bike rack by one lane, had to run around. Run
Comments: I hate double loops. After getting off the bike, the quads were sooo sore, I knew that just keep moving forward was the only option I had. Was just determined to not walk. Slow I did run, but I never walked. Post race
Warm down: Walked around, took in 4 scoops Recoverite total. What limited your ability to perform faster: Soreness in quadracepts from volunteering the day before. Event comments: Forgot aerobottle, but drank out of rear cage bottle well, just not enough. Race time is inclusive of 2:00 penalty. Goal time was a sub 2:45. In pre-race training bricks, I was able to accomplish a sub 9:00 minute mile pace. That would have put me closer to my goal time, had my legs been able to handle the speed. My swim was off my projected goal time of 0:36 by 4 minutes. The first trans took an extra minute longer than planned. Improvements in these areas will put me closer to my goal time, next time around. http://www.nokiasugarbowltriathlon.com/ Last updated: 2004-11-13 12:00 AM

Volunteered the day before for the GirlPower Tri, which turned out to be a BIG mistake. We did the body marking and timing chip retreval. We were contstanly bending down which wore out our Quads. Didn't start to realize this until late that night.
Hoped on the bike for a quick spin. Swam out to last buoy and back.
