 Swim
Comments: As poor as I did I was happy to get through the swim and it was the best i eve did in a swim. What would you do differently?: Use anti fog. after rounding the buoy, swim directly to the next one. do not try to stay to the right. learn to breath on left some.  Transition 1
Comments: I though I did good but the time says otherwise. What would you do differently?: I will try earing my shirt under my wet suit and filling my pockets afterwards. maybe hustle a little more but felt i got through fairly fast. I did take some double check time.  Bike
Comments: I prepared as well as i could for the bike and was happy with my performance considering. What would you do differently?: Train with more intensity, more group rides, sprints and some mountain biking. Transition 2
What would you do differently?: prepare mentally-mental checklist wasted time double checking  Run
Comments: Really can't believe I did it. Thank god for the cloud cover and the relatively low heat. What would you do differently?: More miles in the bank. Post race
Warm down: hug my wife and kids and lay on the ground What limited your ability to perform faster: With young kids it is difficult to justify training time. Even though they are a big reason I started doing Tris, I can't just be gone all the time. I've been training for a year and a half. Before that I was an obese dove bar sucking arm chair movie critic. Being 44. There were those who were older and I couldn't catch most of them but age is an undeniable limiting factor. Event comments: Just a great race! Tough but great! I loved it!!!!!!!! Last updated: 2007-07-12 12:00 AM
