Swim
Comments: It was my crappiest swim ever. Ran out of breath almost immediately and finally started getting into a rythm on the last 500M. Ten minutes and ten seconds slower than my PR with a wetsuit. Maybe completely forgetting about the pool has something to do with it. My last swim prior to this one? Tri Waco race (and that was the first one in a while too). Back in the pool on Tuesday. What would you do differently?: I will not spend 70 days out of the water, I will not spend 70 days out of the water, I will not spend 70 days out of the water, I will not spend 70 days out of the water, I will not spend 70 days out of the water, I will not spend 70 days out of the water, I will not spend 70 days out of the water, I will not spend 70 days out of the water, I will not spend 70 days out of the water, I will not spend 70 days out of the water... Transition 1
Comments: THe transition itself was pretty decent, but the fact that the first climb is over half a mile long was not good to get up to speed so I could slip into my bike shoes. Result: climbed on top of my bike shoes for a long time before I could get some speed. What would you do differently?: Run WITH shoes on this one. Bike
Comments: Went hard, but still not even close to my PRs. I thought the course was too windy, too many rolling hills. What would you do differently?: Train more, lose weight. Transition 2
Comments: Fast, uneventful T2. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Run
Comments: The run was good for my current fitness level, I even thought about not doing the race, thank God I did what I did. What would you do differently?: Nothing, well paced and executed. Couldn't ask for more at this horrible level of fitness. Post race
Warm down: Drank water and walked around a bit. What limited your ability to perform faster: Ten weeks without swimming Last updated: 2011-09-08 12:00 AM

I set up transition pretty fast. Talked to Jason, Mikey, Jackie and other peeps in transition. My wife was with me after that and then I got in line on the pontoon.
