Swimming is my weakest. Just cannot get it together in the swim..I was good with my time though. It is what I expected.

What would you do differently?:

Took too much time putting everything on. My hands were numb and it was hard to get my helmet clipped and get my shoes on.

lOOKIN G BACK, i THINK i COULD HAVE PUSHED HARDER AT THE END. My feet and hands and legs were numb. I was really cold and was scared if I pushed too hard at the end I would do bad on the run.

Comments:

Forgot to take helmet off....duh! It was really hard to get race # on b/c I was so cold and could not feel my hands.
What would you do differently?:

Take helmet off.

Comments:

I had no problem keeping cool! I did not drink anything, but I never do during a 5k.
As you can see, this is my strongest point. I was able to pass lots of people. By mile 1, my legs felt good and I was able to really start running...until I came to the mud.
What would you do differently?:

Pushed harder at the end.
Post race
Warm down:

There was none as it was so cold...I never warmed up.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Cold, rain, Hail, and being so new to all this and really not knowing how hard I should push at first.

Event comments:

The volunteers were the BEST. They stood out in the rain...many of them soaking wet. All of them had a big smile on their face and were very encouraging.
