 Swim
Comments: I felt like I wasn't moving!! I know I was but it just felt like I wasn't going anywhere! I tried to concentrate on my stroke more but I think my nerves got the best of me and I found myself out of breath pretty quickly...might have been the cold air too. What would you do differently?: get more swim practice in  Transition 1
Comments: T1 didn't go so well. my fingers where so numb I had a hard time getting my swim shoes off and my socks/cleats on...also the string to my nose plug got stuck on my braid...that was definately frustrating!! What would you do differently?: maybe go back to a nose plug with out a string...although that is how I lost my last one at my last tri...as far as my fingers go I might have my husband hand of one of those hand warmers to me as I head into transition so by the time I get to my bike my fingers may have warmed up  Bike
Comments: The ride went really well. but I can't wait to get a road bike. my Gary Fisher is like a tank compared to the bikes I saw flying past me! What would you do differently?: GET A ROAD BIKE!! Transition 2
Comments: went smoothly...except my back tire didn't want to go back into the rack but it was only minor  Run
Comments: NO ONE WAS WALKING AT ALL!!! oh man was I out of my element! running is definately my weakest event. I cannot run without stopping and walking to catch my breath...I got passes by more people while on the run portion than I can even tell you!! This is where my race numbers went down severely! What would you do differently?: run more prior to the event! Starting tomorrow (I am too sore today) I am going to try to run every day! Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: My body! The run was very hard for me! I really need to work on my run!! Event comments: I really liked this race. From a spectator stand point it was done really well, the swim, transitions, and finish were very close to each other. plently of place to park and a playscape for the kids. lots of vendors on race day (would have liked more on Saturday) Great event!

hydrate hydrate hydrate!
It was super cold the morning of the race!! I layered up(minus pants I was only wearing my bike shorts on the bottom) I arrived early and slowly took off layers as my body aclimated to the cold. I think that helped me as other were truly cold when we started the swim!
