Swim
Comments: Not a bad swim, considering I hate swimming and avoid the pool at all costs. Last year 7:47, so a bit slower, but not so bad. Even though I hated waiting 90 minutes to start, I was well seeded. Passed one guy at the wall, was only passed once at end by some guy who was clearly mis-seeded and swam up and down the middle of the lanes passing everyone. What would you do differently?: Swim more. Lie more when I seed. Transition 1
Comments: 8/20 ag transition 84/182 overall Last year 3:11, so much better T1 this year. What would you do differently?: Nothing - best rank of the whole race. :) Bike
Comments: Well, let's see. I lost at least 2 minutes after crossing the timing mat from T1 because my chain dropped twice. A course official helped me with it the first time, I got 10 feet away and it dropped again. Put it on myself and headed out on the course. So, this could have been a much better bike. My effort was good. Last year 41:13 (no drop chain!) What would you do differently?: Not drop chain. :) Transition 2
Comments: Last year 1:31 13/20 ag 113/182 overall What would you do differently?: This year, added knee strap...and still was speedy. Well done. Run
Comments: Good run - I felt comfortable but was putting in effort for the whole thing. Used water to keep cool. Last year, 29:22...so not so far off. What would you do differently?: Run a little faster. Post race
Warm down: Met Judi at finish where she was volunteering & showed her my greasy hands. :) Got in line for Chipotle. Met up with Sugar Daddy and the Monkeys. What limited your ability to perform faster: Dropped chain. Lack of training mojo. A few extra pounds here and there. Event comments: Setup Events is a class act & I always enjoy their races. This is my 4-5 race on this course and it is good for newbies and others. Last updated: 2009-06-08 12:00 AM

Woke up early, packed up car & drove over to pickup packet and set up transition. Helped out some newbies racked near me. Said hi to Chrissy. Met up with Judi while watching the fast people go.
I didn't even hit the water until 90 minutes after the race started...so no point in that sort of thing.
