Run
Comments: Went well. Didn't go out too fast and kept a pretty steady pace. What would you do differently?: Go faster? Wait, I always want to be able to go faster. Hopefully that will come. Transition 1
Comments: Went well. Took about a minute off my transition time from last year, which I think shows I'm finally getting the hang of this. Bike
Comments: The bike hated me -- a lot. At about mile 2 my chain popped off and I had to stop and fix it. Not only did I loose time stopping on hill to put the chain back on, I also lost the use of my big gears. I'll be venturing to Pig Iron today trying to fix that. Then shortly after my chain mishap I saw Polly on the side of the road with a nasty flat (later learned she didn't finish which sucks). Little did I guess that at mile 11 my front tire would go flat. Luckily it was the front tire. I changed the flat but must have done a crappy job on the change and at mile 16-17 I got another. The tire as soft and not completely flat so I pumped some air into it and finished the course rather slowly on the soft tire. What would you do differently?: No mechanical failures. I should be able to rise significantly faster than this. Transition 2
Comments: Chris was waiting at transition which was nice. Chatted with him for a second and then made my way out onto the run. Run
Comments: Went fine. Was a little tight for the first miel or two. Finished fairly strong and not as slowly as I thought I would. What would you do differently?: Run faster. Post race
Warm down: Chris met me at the finish. Drank some water, walked around and chatted with Pam. What limited your ability to perform faster: The bike! Grrrrrsssss. Last updated: 2006-12-29 12:00 AM

Woke up at 5:45. Ate a bagel with peanut butter and a banana. Packed up the car and drove to Glastonbury.
Streched a little. Walked around. Waited in a very long port-a-potty line and talked to few people I knew.
