 Swim
Comments: I freaked out! I didn't swim prior to this tri... I thought I could just "wing it" and I thought wrong. I swam on my back - a modified back crawl. My wife, who started in a couple of waves later than me caught me and asked, "Are you all right?" NO I WAS NOT... but I finished and I have vowed to improve. What would you do differently?: Train Calm down and relax  Transition 1
Comments: No real problems - a little disoriented - It was lonely. Not many bikes left in the transition area What would you do differently?: shoes on bike  Bike
Comments: I enjoyed the ride - it ended too soon. What would you do differently?: Eat and drink more Transition 2
Comments: I could not find my spot... I was lost for a few minutes then I ran out of the in gate... My official transition time was 13 seconds - actually about 3 or 4 minutes... this affected my bike time, average time and place... What would you do differently?: Mark my spot better...  Run
Comments: My best performance... although I enjoyed the ride more... I didn't run my hardest... I was surprised that my pace was 6:49 per mile. I just wanted to finish and didn't really push it. It was fun passing people. What would you do differently?: Swim better, ride better, run better. Post race
Warm down: Hung out with Nico (my daughter) and waited for Lilia (my wife) What limited your ability to perform faster: The swimming portion... Event comments: I enjoyed the race... I didn't expect to suck so bad swimming... Profile Album Last updated: 2005-07-28 12:00 AM

Official BT Coach 2210 Englewood, CO | Subject: RE: Loveland Lake to Lake Good job!! That is a tough course. You had an awesome run pace. You must have been in the top 75 on the run. Good job. |

Expert 622 Conifer, Colorado | Subject: RE: Loveland Lake to Lake Thanks... I have been putting more time in the swim... not to say a ton of time... but I should shave a chunk of time in the Half Ironman up in Boulder next week. I was happy with my run... I actually came in 51st on the run (not bad considering I was one of the last out of the water)... |

Expert 622 Conifer, Colorado | Subject: RE: Loveland Lake to Lake Thanks! Have you found any training techniques that have helped to improve your swim. My thing is that I just don't like going to the gym to swim... Running is so simple... throw your shoes on head down the street and it over... Swimming is so much more involved and then there are always the sharks at the pool who make it look easy... intimidating. |
