Run
Comments: The first leg of the race was TOUGH! It was hot and I was WAY dehydrated (from my night of boozing...hey, it's a holiday weekend). I was slow and was breathing really hard. What would you do differently?: More run training. Transition 1
Comments: I need to get speed laces for my sweet new shoes. What would you do differently?: Hustle Swim
Comments: I felt VERY heavy for the first 200 meters or so, but by the time I hit the sand and got back into the water for the 2nd lap, I was feeling great and picked up the pace quite a bit. My sighting was good today and I thought I rounded the bouy's like a pro. What would you do differently?: Not too disappointed with this swim. My time is an estimate...they only had our overall times, not the splits. So I'm just guessing. Transition 2
Comments: I went to the wrong crate...oops! Eventually, I found my stuff and got a move on. What would you do differently?: I forgot my race belt, so I pinned my race number on a pair of basketball shorts and threw those on after the swim. They were sagging and sticking to my legs for the rest of the race...it was kind of annoying. Run
Comments: This run felt better than the first....although I was still slow, I wasn't breathing so damn hard. What would you do differently?: Hustle. It was only 1.25 miles. Post race
Warm down: We cooled off in the water, checked out the results and then hit the road. What limited your ability to perform faster: Effort, lack of pre-race hydration and too much booze over the past few weeks (including a lot of drinking the night before the race, which is never a good idea). Event comments: I had a great time and can't wait to do it again next year. Last updated: 2010-07-06 12:00 AM
