5 a.m. wake up, cereal for breakfast. Was able to find my way there and set-up right after 6.
Ate some more at 7:30 since I didn't start until 8:18!
Event warmup:

I FORGOT to! Was just taking it all in, as it was my first time at a tri!

Comments:

Just HORRIBLE. No warm up, then went out too hard. Totally lost my head, AND my swim cap. it wasn't until 2/3 through when I had the mind to get a grip, and BREATHE and STROKE.

Comments:

Stood there for a long time trying to get clipped in. I tried something new with gu and it was wonderful! Scotch taped the top part of gu packet to cross bar so all i had to do was grab bottom part and rip it across so I didn't have to fuss with tearing while on the go. it worked awesomee. Had a sit of water to wash down gu. I usually don't drink much at races anyway.
What would you do differently?:

Use glutes to power up hills. NOT LEGS!

Comments:

Initially started running the wrong way out of transition. People pointed me in the right direction.
What would you do differently?:

pay attention to where I'm supposed to go.

Post race
Warm down:

eat!!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Just stoked to place 3rd overall woman for first tri. need to learn better technique and perhaps hire a swim coach!! I even forgot to take my goggles off for bike and run portion!


Event comments:

Good race. Not much gravel on corners. Some locations could use more guides. More mileage postings might be appreciated. There weren't any for run.
