 Swim
Comments: Swim felt good. Strong and smooth. I was in the second wave, and unfortunately started running into the wave in front of me by the first buoy! Luckily I was able to navigate through the crowds pretty easily. Buoys were easy to spot as was the swim finish. Amazed at how many people I passed who were walking waist deep in the water on their way to shore. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Transition 1
Comments: Could have saved a few seconds with keeping my shoes on the bike, but preferred to play it safe instead. Wetsuit came off very easily :) What would you do differently?: Nothing  Bike
Comments: Fastest female bike split :) I felt nice and comfortable on this ride and pushed just enough on the hills. No guys passed me and I passed a lot of them...one seemed a little ticked. Cornering and turns could have been executed better. Also, had to go around a lot of people on the second loop. What would you do differently?: Not much. Time was about 3 min faster than 2 years ago. Transition 2
Comments: Pretty good T2. Could have been a touch faster. Got stuck going into transition behind someone. What would you do differently?: Take my shoes off on the bike.  Run
Comments: Felt pretty good on the run. My first sub 7 min split! Was not passed by too many guys on the course and even passed a few. One of them was Rudy who said "You're doing great pumpkin!" Made me laugh for at least the next mile! I think only my Dad has ever called me that! What would you do differently?: I think I could have upped the tempo slightly. I was not completely spent at the end of the race. Best 5K time ever! Course PR by about 3 min! Post race
Warm down: about a 1/2 mile jog What limited your ability to perform faster: Not much Event comments: Great local race! Lot's of volunteers. Well organized and a beautiful venue. Last updated: 2009-04-07 12:00 AM
