Icky swim. TONS of seaweed churned up from the storms. Tide was out, so many people were walking the swim and throwing back plantlife. I can't wait to see my swim pic. I came out of the water looking like the lochness monster with seaweed hanging off my head. Sexy!

Have a breakfast salad?

Had an issue with my helmet. The strap was twisted, so I ended up riding with it choking me!

Took a gel while I got my shoes on today. First time to try a gel in T1
What would you do differently?:

Not choke myself.

Comments:

Felt better running today. Because of the sandy feet, I got a blister on my right heel. I tried to slow my running pace to be more consistent and walk less. Ended up walking the water stations and running pretty much the rest.
What would you do differently?:

Run Harder, Faster, Longer
Post race
Warm down:

Stood under the shower to cool off, then put my gear in the truck, found Jeff and waited for awards.

Event comments:

This was my 4th anniversary for triathlon today. 4 years ago Sue and I did this as our first race, and it's been my favorite ever since!!

1st Athena today. 2nd overall for the series. A big, fat PR by 4 minutes. WOO HOO!! And, a Gator win to follow it up. It doesn't get any better than that!! :)
