Swim
Comments: First swim since my race 2 weeks ago, and it felt like it. Still not a bad swim, but my arms might have fallen off if I had to go farther. Sighting not so bad. I stayed pretty far to the outside. There was a fair amount of violence in the pack. Almost the same swim time as last year. Transition 1
Comments: run run run run! Had a good 'cross mount and passed about 6 people at once with that. Cool. T1 faster than last year. Bike
Comments: This is a good fast course. Since I started third wave, I actually got to pass some folks this time. Whoo! Bike was slightly slower than last year. Transition 2
Comments: Had trouble getting my chopat strap on. And I didn't leave my sunglasses in transition, and I really didn't need them. T2 faster than last year, so my transitions have improved, despite needing to add my strap on the run. Run
Comments: Pretty happy with this run. I didn't have on a watch so I just went as hard as I could, and if I felt like throwing up I backed off a bit. No drinking at all, and that was just the right amount. Took out almost a minute of my run from last year. How'd that happen? Post race
Warm down: Drank a bit of this super sweet "natural" juice, then scrapped it for some power ade and a bunch of water. Next, the beer truck. What limited your ability to perform faster: < 6hrs of sleep each night is probably a problem. Only 4 the night before. I made no effort to taper for this so my legs were a little heavy at the start. The lack of sleep was the real problem. Event comments: Sprints are fun. I don't feel wiped out after them. But I still think I'm better suited to longer races, or at least I enjoy them more. Maybe if I could knock a couple more minutes off my 5k that would change, but I doubt it. I just don't have that top end speed. Eh, it is what it is. Last updated: 2007-01-03 12:00 AM

United States
Overall Rank = 93/418
Age Group = M30-34
Age Group Rank = 8/47
Mill around.
Overall contestants refers to men only. I would have been 10th woman. MA says I shouldn't cut it off and race on that side just so I could place higher. She's probably right.
Swim out to where it was deep enough for me to take a whiz.
