 Swim
Comments: Well I survived another swim. Woot. I friggin' hate swimming. What a dumb thing to do. I'm not a fish. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Stupid swimming.  Transition 1
Comments: Slow transitions are my thang.  Bike
Comments: Vroom vroom said my bike. OK not really. I wish it had a motor on it. Then I'd be faster. Meh it's a nice course. Lots of hills, but that's to be expected. Perfect weather for a bike ride. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Transition 2
Comments: Just plopped down, threw on the socks and shoes and visor and off I went.  Run
Comments: Goal was to go sub-30:00 but I had some pretty severe cramping of the calves. Ow. What would you do differently?: Do whatever I can to prevent calf cramping? Post race
Warm down: Walked around. Ate a sammich and some grapes and drank some water. Found Monica and Chris and saw Schmize and Holly and then we all found Laura and it was all shits and giggles from there on out. Rode back to the car and went for some brekkie. What limited your ability to perform faster: My cramping calves and my overall lack of desire to train properly. And my general disdain for swimming. There was much lolly gagging as well. You know what that makes me? Larry? Event comments: What a great race! Loved hanging out with Chris n Laura and Molly Norbit Quentin and seeing Scott and Holly and all the rest. As always, Trudy Wakeman (race director) puts on a great show. We shall be back next year. Last updated: 2013-06-18 12:00 AM

Champion 10550 Austin, Texas | Subject: RE: Lake in the Hills Triathlon Lollygagger!!! Um... did you notice your swim speed? UNDER 2:00/100 - you CAN swim, and swim pretty darned well. You just don't like it. |

Elite 5145 Cleveland | Subject: RE: Lake in the Hills Triathlon Nice run! That's a pretty solid pace after hills and when dealing with calf cramps (oh, I hate those!).
Clearly, though, you'd have been faster had you chosen the other dessert. |

Ate too much the night before. Beef brisket with bbq sauce, potatoes and some tempura'd vegetables. And then a big chocolate lava cake. So delicious. Woke up at 4am and couldn't use the bathroom, of course. Drove the 45 minutes to the race, somehow missed packet pickup and rode to the start only to have to ride all the way back to the parking lot. OH well. Got everything set up in plenty of time. Forgot my socks for T1, an extra pair of goggs and a few other things but had my bike, helmet, sunglasses and shoes, the important things.
Swam around. Gave monica a kiss for good luck and off she went. She was FLYING on the swim.
