Comments:

Had my goggles knocked off in the first 100 and then got tied up with someone who thought it was a good idea to dunk me. When we got tied up I strained my shoulder so it bothered me the rest of the swim.

On the back side I was way too wide and this caused me to swim some extra distance.
What would you do differently?:

I think I am taking the swim too easy so I need to push more!

This was a good ride for the early season- I was mentally pushing through most of the course. I found my self alone at times which sometimes allowed my mind to drift.

I could have pushed harder!

Comments:

Felt really good coming out of T2-- ran the first mile at a comfortable pace but was moving consistently. About 1 1/2 miles in my mind started to wonder and cause thoughts of pain and that I could not do this. Miles 2 and 3 were a run/ walk and trying to get my head on straight. With 1/2 mile to go a woman pushed me to finish strong and that I did :)

need to learn to put these thoughts out and focus on something else
What would you do differently?:

stay mentally focused on the run...I have it in me physical just need to perform


Post race
Warm down:

Finished with a smile and found the GF!

Collected my things and got out of there so I was not attacked by the BUGS.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

early season training and mentally believing I can do it!

I liked this race (other than the bugs)
