Swim
Comments: I WAS SO NERVOUS ABOUT THE SWIM! This has given me the most anxiety, which I dealt with my basically convincing myself that my race would really be starting after the swim, and I kind of ignored it. I had an hour and a half of waiting after the race started for my time to swim, and watching everyone else actually made me feel a bit better. There were, of course, amazing swimmers, but there were also enough people who were just getting through it like me that I was able to calm down a bit. We were started twenty seconds apart. Two people passed me, and I passed two others. What would you do differently?: Chill out about it. Transition 1
Comments: Actually took longer than 45 seconds, as stated above regarding swim time. What would you do differently?: I wish I would've dried my feet better! Bike
Comments: I am kind of amazed that this is my weakest area. I am very curious to see what things would be like if I had a decent bike. I also realize that I did not put nearly enough time in the saddle as I should have, and far too much of it was on the nice flat rail trail by my house. What would you do differently?: Next time, if I don't have a road bike by then, I will rent one. Transition 2
Comments: Husband was there to cheer me on at this transition :) I took a quick drink and shoved some dried apricots in my mouth before heading out. What would you do differently?: Have water on bike. Run
Comments: HOLY CRAP HOW DID I RUN THAT FAST? For me, that is really really fast. I was just in the mindset that I was probably going very slow since I was so tired, and that I'd have to push it to keep it under 40 minutes. Under 40 was actually my goal. Well obviously I am not pushing myself enough when I work out, because look how much better I do with a bit of adrenaline! I did get pretty shaky at the end. A volunteer asked me for my timing chip and I was shaking as I bent down to grab it off my ankle. I started wheasing a bit. I was spent! Post race
Warm down: Walking. What limited your ability to perform faster: Just need more training and focus. Last updated: 2012-04-01 12:00 AM

Woke up early enough to have a breakfast of eggs, oats, and coffee.
I didn't do anything to warm up physically. I just looked around and tried to see how everyone was setting up for transitions and tried to figure out what to do.
