Swim
Comments: I had to pause 10-20 seconds at every lap. Form was pretty good up until lap 5 (out of 7) My breathing rhythm really sucked, I could not get into a good rythm, but my form wasn't too bad. My head was too high, I may have been kicking too hard. My endurance was also poor. I haven't swam enough in the past weeks. What would you do differently?: More drill work, more endurance work. Work on my breathing. Push myself a little harder. Transition 1
Comments: Transition was excellent. I had shoe horn, but didn't use it/need it. I had bungee laces with old NBs. Transition went well. What would you do differently?: I should have taken a puff of my asthma medication there and then. It would have prevented my running problems. Run
Comments: By lap 8 out of 25, I could not breathe. My asthma had kicked in and nothing was working. I apparently looked grey and ashen. my pace slowed down to slower than a walk. I stopped, took in some water. Took a puff of my medicine, walked half a lap and then picked it up. My pace got progressively faster. I felt stronger faster and happier after that. What would you do differently?: Do more intervals. Build my breathing. I consciously didn't want to "just" run. I really raced in the last few laps. Next time I really have to do this durning the whole race. Post race
Warm down: Not much of one. What limited your ability to perform faster: ASTHMA and lack of swim readiness Event comments: All good. Last updated: 2007-02-09 12:00 AM

Race was at 8:30 at night. This late time threw me off as I'm more used to morning and mid afternoon activities.
Walked around a bit, did some shopping, had some balanced meals, lots of water and carbs. Listened to music.
I was reluctant to do much of a warmup because my breathing wasn't great and i didn't want to use up my energy during the warmup.
