 Swim
Comments: Very happy with this swim. Both my sisters had a hard time believing I was swimming in a lake with all the gators down there. What would you do differently?: Nothing and I hope all my open water swims go as well.  Transition 1
Comments: I used the Tri Glide spray and it worked like a champ. What would you do differently?: I would use the sun block spray on my back BEFORE I left the house. Got a little burn on my back where I missed.  Bike
Comments: I went into the bike portion fully intending to scale back my speed so I had a chance to run the 13.1 and it seemed to work. What would you do differently?: I would have gone just a little faster on the bike course, but not much. Something I need to work on before my next event. Transition 2
Comments: This T2 went well, I was in no super hurry. What would you do differently?: I should have applied more sun screen to my back.  Run
Comments: The run is by far my weakest link. Something I really need to work on. What would you do differently?: Not sure, although my time was that great I really enjoyed each segment. Post race
Warm down: 30 Minute massage. Shoulders were very tight and I believe it's due to the swim portion and perhaps my turnover is a little higher in a race. What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing Event comments: Loved this event so much I believe I'll have to do it again next year. My youngest sister lives down there as well as my parents. My other sister was there for the event and told me she'd attend any other IM event they had. She and her dog Nikki had a great time. Profile Album Last updated: 2013-10-03 12:00 AM

INFINIT Nutrition, 1/2 bagel w/ peanut butter. In the care I had one GU and a small amount of INFINIT.
The sun was not visible when we started, so I just laid out and relaxed on the grassy area of the beach. Once we got in the lake, I did some quick swims to get my HR up prior to the race so I wouldn't have a high spike. Worked out too since I kept the same tempo from beginning to end and had plenty left over at the end of the swim. A good feeling.
