Swim
Comments: I suck at OWS. My time includes the run up the beach which was probably 200 or more yards. And that water was COLD! they said it was 68 degrees...yeah, maybe right at the shore! My hands were really cold, but I did warm up about 1/2 way through What would you do differently?: Swim LOTS more in open water. Transition 1
Comments: I was 3/14 in AG for T1. And I could improve a lot I think. What would you do differently?: Improve transitions! Practice! Bike
Comments: Five turn-arounds on a sprint course in 2 loops is just nuts. But it wasn't the RD's fault...there was construction on the regular course. It just sucked to be cruising along and have to come to almost a stop to turn around FIVE TIMES. AND the course was pretty darn hilly. For me to be 3rd in AG for the bike, and for it to be 17 mph, it was hilly! What would you do differently?: I may have pushed a little too hard (ie, being a masher) on the hills, and hurt my run. Transition 2
Comments: I need to improve transitions. 6/14 in AG here. What would you do differently?: practice! Run
Comments: I felt dead on every uphill. My legs were super heavy and I had to walk some of the uphills! argh! What would you do differently?: Do more hill work. I can do a lot better than this. Post race
Warm down: Erik, the kids and my brother-in-law all cheered for me, which was cool, even if they didn't know it was me until I was right next to them. Got my recovery drink from transition and hung out with them for a little. Watched the awards and went home! Always good to hang with the BT crew. :) What limited your ability to perform faster: Hmmm, I need to work on hills, especially in running. Event comments: Great late season race. I'd do it again. I think the RD said that for next year it will be on Saturday before the Harvest Moon HIM, so the 2 races aren't coinciding. Last updated: 2007-06-13 12:00 AM

Up at 5am. Had a soy shake, got my stuff and left for Aurora. Hung out in transition with Drew. He chose a good spot in transition, and I copied him by parking right next to him. Found Ovetta and laughed at the fact that she had FOUR bananas on her transition towel (she did the HIM).
While we were in transition before the race, the HIM people were coming in from the swim. Drew says to me, "well it's not every day that you see that!" And I look over and there is a naked man, changing in transition. OMG. The name of the race is Crescent Moon, not Full Moon!
A little swimming in some very cold water. Chatted and shivered with Drew and Melanie.
