Swim
What would you do differently?: Get out in front instead of starting behind slower swimmers. Transition 1
Comments: Began to mount my bike before I should have. I thought we could mount out of the transition area...but we had to continue to run with our bikes and mount on the street/asphalt. What would you do differently?: Mount at the right spot and I need to practice getting in shoes on the bike while they are in the clips. Bike
What would you do differently?: Work on getting on bike quicker out of transition. I would like to get my speed up as well and maintain a 22 to 25 mph speed. Transition 2
Comments: Need to get the quick laces for my sneakers!!! What would you do differently?: See above Run
Comments: Usually my best event. Struggled with the heat! Walked through all 3 water stops!!! YIKES! What would you do differently?: I need to train to run more in the later morning hours. That way I will become even more acclimated to the heat and humidity here. Post race
Warm down: Walked around to loosen up...stretched and went for a post race swim! What limited your ability to perform faster: The heat. Event comments: I will do this race again. The event not beginning on time was a result of people registering race day (they were calling for bad weather/hurricane). The nice weather brought out more people than the race committee had anticipated Last updated: 2005-09-12 12:00 AM

I wake up about 2 to 3 hours before an event. I give my body time to wake up and then I make sure I fuel my body. What I eat before an event depends on the length of the race. For a sprint I eat 1 to 2 hours before the race to ensure I have adequately digested my food. I eat half of a banana, a piece of whole wheat toast with a Tbsp of peanut butter on it and have a cup of green tea. OK, OK! I have to admit, as horrible as it sounds...I ALWAYS have a sugar free Red Bull 30 to 45 minutes before my event. Gives me a little pre-race kick!
Again, this depends on my event. I jogged about a quarter mile and then swam for about 5 minutes before the race began. I do just enough to get my heart rate up, muscles warm and body temperature up.
