 Swim
Comments: Female aquabikers started with the under 39 women; the horn sounded and it was like I wasn't moving while they just took off! I felt like I was swimming OK, but I was way at the back of the pack. I kept thinking "they've gone out too fast and I'll catch up later" but it never happened. I was slow! What would you do differently?: I need more OWS!!!  Transition 1
Comments: T1: exit the water up a ladder onto the pier, run on a carpet across the railroad tracks, along the gravel, then off the carpet and up the stairs and around 2 city streets to TA. Crazy, but went far faster than anticipated. First time biking without socks and that worked well. 2nd best in group. What would you do differently?: I actually lost time trying to get my earplugs out; need to get a new pair with longer stems.  Bike
Comments: I've come to understand that riding on the flats is far harder than I've been giving it credit for. I don't like it. Get me onto rolling hills! a few times my body told me "we'd like to stop now, that shady grass looks REAL good!" I didn't stop but I lost a lot of speed I used up my drink about 1 mile before the end What would you do differently?: stick to races with more rolling terrain! Post race
Warm down: pack up, potty, go back to the hotel for a jump into the pool and a shower What limited your ability to perform faster: heat, ??? Event comments: Richmond Multisport puts on a good event, but this venue is not so great. Profile Album Last updated: 2010-02-14 12:00 AM

into bed around 10:30; had one of my better pre-race sleeps. Up at 4am, ate, dressed, on the road by 5:15 to get to the venue around 5:30. Got body marked, set up TA, pottied, headed to the swim start area (decided not to do a pre-swim warmup)
