Swim
Comments: what the hell?? I freaked out, could not breathe, could not stroke, completely panic mode. Settled down a little but damn.. I can tell you that the sidestroke is just as fast as the guys I was swimming next to.. Had to or I would have drowned. Started in the back of the pack on purpose since I did not want to be stuck in the middle and hold anyone up What would you do differently?: Do some open water swimming prior to my first race Transition 1
Comments: T1 was good. I will have a tri suit, some spandex shorts or something for next race. I wore some regular shorts and put on a shirt after the swim which slowed me down a little. What would you do differently?: Not much, went pretty smooth Bike
Comments: Bike was great except for the big hill. Being my weight I got passed by many people but hey, I cant expect to pass 180lb'ers. What would you do differently?: not much but train more on some hills Transition 2
Comments: t2 was fine. stretched a little, had some water and off I went. What would you do differently?: nada Run
Comments: major tightening of the calves about 500 yards into the run. Did pretty good just had to walk/run What would you do differently?: train more on the run...BRICKS.. Post race
Warm down: Water, oranges and cheered the people coming in behind me.. hehe What limited your ability to perform faster: not enough training, but first race, I did not know what to expect Event comments: great race, but again the hill killed me. Looking forward to next year Last updated: 2007-10-15 12:00 AM
