Comments:

Cristine (Lucy) did this portion and she totally kicked butt :) I guess they let people go out to the first buoy and start from there due to waves. I went swimming after the race and all I can say is the waves at Solana beach were 3 times as big.

This was my section...there were 2 relay teams on the course in front of us and I chased them both down. There were hills....that killed me. Fast on the way out and headwind on the way back last 3 miles. Just couldn't do any better than 19ish on the way back.
What would you do differently?:

Ride hills, don't start out so fast

I had trouble finding the end of the velcro to get my timing chip off and put it on Johns ankle

Post race
Warm down:

Met up with my team....found out WE WON!!!!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

my sucky hill skills. I took it out too hard the first 3 miles (average 22 MPH +) and then didn't have much for the hillss

Event comments:

The post race activities were the best of any race I have been to. I need to get frigging healthy so I can race again. Overall we had fun :)Sprained my GOOD ankle unpacking the car at home...I swear I am doomed to not run or be an aquabike athlete
