I had a hard time seeing the course because of the sun, despite my reflective goggles. I think my vision for distance is getting worse also. The water got a bit choppy toward the middle of the lake which slowed everyone down.

I would remember to stretch out my upper body. I noticed some tightness right away and realized that I forgot to loosen up.

I was really happy with my T1. I think this may be the fastest I've done without a wetsuit.

Nothing. I was as fast as I could be.

Riding into the wind was so tough, especially on the uphills which were not steep but gradual and long. I was pretty tired and couldn't take full advantage when the wind was at my back.

Ride more before the race.

I was really happy with my T2. One of my fastest.

Nothing

The course wasn't clearly marked so I went off course and wasted about five minutes getting back on. The section where I mad the wrong turn was was confusing and they should've had a volunteer there to point us in the right direction. Then I got the most horrible side cramp. First ever in a race. I actually had to stop for a few seconds twice because it was so painful.

I wish I would've driven the run course the night before in case I had questions.

Stretched while waiting for awards.


Wind, side cramp, poorly marked run course.


I see there's nowhere on this log to record my place for my gender. I finished 3rd overall for the women which was awesome. I was the 4th woman out of the water and was the #1 female runner. If only I could improve the bike leg I might be winning these darn things for my gender!
