Swim
Comments: Swimming is my absolute worst and I have panicked in both tri's before. I went out backstroke and breastroke until I got around first buoy. Got a little freestyle in in middle section. When I came around last buoy, I was finally calm and was able to get my head under the water while drafting behind another swimmer. I draft along side her until the end of the swim and finished strong. What would you do differently?: Best swim yet - Need to draft behind a good swimmer earlier so I have to attempt to sight less. Transition 1
Bike
Comments: Dead freaking last. What the heck happened? I don't know!!!!! What would you do differently?: Everything!!!! Transition 2
Run
Comments: Decent run, but I felt like I was just getting warmed up and was ready to run 6 more miles when I finished. What would you do differently?: Run faster! Post race
Warm down: Poured jug of water overmy head and changed out of tri clothes What limited your ability to perform faster: I am still trying to figure that out. Event comments: Great race... I was too pissedoff at the end to enjoy anything and just wanted to pick up my toys and go home. Last updated: 2013-03-30 12:00 AM
