She-Rocks - TriathlonSprint

This swim was the roughest I've ever had in open water. The buoy's were moving, and I was really glad I wore my wetsuit. I did breast 3 times while navigating, which in calmer waters I wouldn't have to do. I'm still pretty happy with the swim though, considering the chop.

not much...drink less of the lake? :-)

Thank goodness Sunshine was in t1 at the same time...I ran right past my bike, and she pointed me to the red devil! :-)

make a better mental note of bike racking (was on grass...couldn't use the chalk trick) I forgot to put my left pedal down to click in my shoe...I always put in the left first, and totally whiffed on that today.

I felt pretty good on this ride...I don't think I messed up any shifting, and other than the fact that there were a lot of 1st time tri peeps out riding in the middle of the lane,(lots of "I'm on your LEFT") it was a good ride for me. Took a gu at about mile 8.5 to help me on the run.

I took my feet out of the shoes a bit early, so I need to work on that to keep the speed up at the end of the race. I hit a couple spots where I let my cadence slow, and I want to do better with that too.

This was an ok transition for me. Somebody did it in .47 though, so lots of room for improvement...STILL! Not bad though.

MOVE FASTER!

Wow, I am sooo happy with this run! I am a flatlander, and I had a great pace going on the trail. I think really need to keep running through the water stations if it's not hot (it wasn't this morning) and that would keep me on pace...I slowed (I think) on the paved portion, till I knew I was within the 1 mile mark...then I just went for it! Woo Hoo!

Not much except maybe skip the h20

ran past the chip folks straight to the food! ;-) Kept jogging for a couple minutes to bring my hr down. Got water, a banana, eas drink and walked till I found Jason and Jamie! Stretched about 25 minutes later and kept drinking.


drinking on the run, slowish wetsuit removal, lack of practice on t1 and t2


For a first time event, it was pretty good, but there is room for improvement. I think with so many beginners, they should have had finisher medals. The t area should be secured and policed during the race better, they need a little better organization on the day of for folks who skip the Saturday packet pick up. I am sure EST will only improve!

It was great to race with fellow Hounds Sunshine and Toni! They did a great job and it was fun to be racing with teamates even though it wasn't a team supported race! I was realy bummed for Joanne though...she was really wanting to do the DU and rock out on her new bike. :-(

I liked the all girl vibe, but I gotta say, I did miss the eye candy passing me by out on the course!!! ;-)
