The swimmers in my lane blew me away, but I still had my best 1000 time ever!

Flip more turns. It is hard to get used this pool; they have not marking on the end wall, so I usually digress to wall turns right away.

I took my time and made sure all my actions were deliberate.

make sure I have a smaller towel to dry my arms and legs with. My shirt and jacket got stuck a bit.

Sometimes I caught myself daydreaming on the bike, so I could have pedaled harder.

Got my toes stuck in my socks. I'll pay better attention when putting them on next time.

I really enjoyed the run, and I chose to walk the hill way before the race, so I'm okay with having walked that. For the rest of the run, I certainly could have run the whole thing instead of walking any part of it, but I don't regret it too badly.

Walked around and waited to cheer for Jim and Louise.


Probably my weight.


This is the most fun I've ever had in a race! I slept well all week, and I was hardly nervous at all.

I usually do this race as a team, but my buddies couldn't make it, so I went solo. I thought I was not in good enough running condition to do a really good job, but I was surprised. Now I am insprired to lose weight and work more on my run.
