I grew up at the Jersey shore, so I've always been a pretty strong swimmer. <BR/><BR/>Re: T-1...know your exit route. Lay your towel out thoroughly. Open your shoes and get your socks ready to roll them on. This year, before the race, I will be putting them on, then rollling them down so they're ready to go.FishrCutB8http://www.blogger.com/profile/01796633855881631465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14630412.post-1147538489343694702006-05-13T12:41:00.000-04:002006-05-13T12:41:00.000-04:00Sucks not knowing the splits.<BR/><BR/>Have you been incorporating swim drill s into your swim routines?<BR/><BR/>What aspect of the T-1 caused you the most grief?<BR/><BR/>I never thought I would say this, but right now I feel my Bike is the worst of my three events. The others have all made marked improvements, where I don't really feel that on the bike.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Ogedeinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14630412.post-1147530513264135932006-05-13T10:28:00.000-04:002006-05-13T10:28:00.000-04:00I did lose my chip, so I have no idea on splits. I figure at 142, I need to shave 4 minutes off each section/transition. I know T-1 was very sloppy for me last year. That's at least a minute. Plus, just the general not knowing what to expect made me hold back a little, I suspect (you never feel like that at the end). <BR/><BR/>I'm fairly certaing I can take 1-2 off the swim, and much more off the bike. Not sure about the run, but yesterday I felt really strong. We'll see--In my opinion, it's going to be close, in all honesty....FishrCutB8http://www.blogger.com/profile/01796633855881631465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14630412.post-1147495038778064842006-05-13T00:37:00.000-04:002006-05-13T00:37:00.000-04:00Good luck man.<BR/><BR/>Do you have any clue on last years splits? I think you mentioned you lost your timing chip in your report.<BR/><BR/>Good luck on your goal!<BR/><BR/>Og.Ogedeinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14630412.post-1147443597763402902006-05-12T10:19:00.000-04:002006-05-12T10:19:00.000-04:00I've checked my gear and it's all good. Water is going to be coooooold, though. Last year it was simply breathtaking...literally.FishrCutB8http://www.blogger.com/profile/01796633855881631465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14630412.post-1147435714954570492006-05-12T08:08:00.000-04:002006-05-12T08:08:00.000-04:00That's great, Fish!!
