Swim
Comments: Swam pretty straight going out, but on the way back in I kept circling towards the left which was the wrong side of the lake. What would you do differently?: Need to keep practicing in open water and learn how to sight better. Working on stroke and breathing laterally too. Transition 1
Comments: Change went well, only trouble that I had was putting my shirt on, but it was really not much of a time loser, maybe 10 seconds or so. Bike shoes went on fast! Estimated time for T1 (took it out of the bike time - bike computer was about 50 minutes and was actually 18.6 miles) What would you do differently?: Try to put the shirt on faster. Bike
Transition 2
Comments: Racked my bike a few spots down. There was another burgundy towel that threw me off. Shoes went off and on fast. What would you do differently?: Rack my bike by my towel. Run
Comments: Started off the first mile slow, got a well needed drink at the first mile marker. Problem was they handed gatorade to me. I turned around and went back for water. May have cost me 15-20 seconds. Passed people the entire way. After the first mile, I started running much faster. I felt good and finished strong, passing a guy at the very end with my kick. What would you do differently?: Make sure to grab water and not gatorade. Gatorade in races makes me feel like I am going to throw up. Post race
Warm down: Banana, water, and walked out to where Steve was and jogged in with him for about 1/2 mile. What limited your ability to perform faster: The swim! Event comments: Won a Zoot wetsuit in the drawing. Last updated: 2006-03-07 12:00 AM

Watched some of the IMAZ DVD. Ate 2 bananas.
Stretched upper body before the swim. Swam a few fists when I entered the water and then moved over to the start area and sat in sweet spot until the start.
