Swim
Comments: It was my first race, I was pleased with it, was worried about the temp. but it was ok without a wetsuit. I would do it again without a wetsuit definitely had a faster transition then many because of this. What would you do differently?: Will continue to train hard. Need to improve my navigation a little kept hitting the girl infront and am sure it annoyed her. Transition 1
Comments: Transition went well. Didn't time it but felt faster then others. Had to be a little careful as it was slippery due to the rain and didn't want to get mud stuck in my cleats. What would you do differently?: practice!! Would like to practice the shoes in the pedals but will probably take some time to master that. Bike
Comments: The rain and wind was a real drag. Literally!! It was a tough bike ride. I was expecting some tailwind on the return leg, but never got it, it was wind headon or from the side the whole way. It was a tough bike ride so am very pleased with the time given the conditions. I could already feel a stitch in my side, which followed me into the run. What would you do differently?: continue training. Transition 2
Comments: Not sure of the times, it was wet and slippery, so needed to take care, saw a lot of people fall during the bike leg. What would you do differently?: train more on the riding with feet on shoes, that would save a great deal of time and I would have to worry about trucking through the transition area in bike shoes. Run
Comments: Run was by far the worst!! The stitch from the bike ride followed me to the run, the cramp was so bad that I had to walk it off the first 1.5k. Tried to pace up my run but was just to painful. Was finally able to get into somewhat of a stride last 3km's but it was a slow stride. What would you do differently?: Train, train, train Post race
Warm down: some stretching, drinking and chatting with fellow triers What limited your ability to perform faster: The cramp in my side, techniqe in the swim, but given that this is my first I thought it was pretty damn good! Last updated: 2005-08-09 12:00 AM
