Comments:

raced hard. had a back and forth with a girl who did not have her age on her calf. by the way she responded when I passed her, led me to believe she was in my age group. She was out of the saddle alot pushing, and had her heels way up. As we came into transition together, I asked her how old she was. Go figure "48". I said "oh crap" and she laughed and said thats what she said the first time I passed her! kinda of thought she was trashing her legs a bit more than I was...
What would you do differently?:

not a thing! Really worked hard.

Comments:

made sure it was a quick T2, hoping to beat "her" out of T2. Not sure if I did...
What would you do differently?:

nothing

Comments:

did not stop to drink at all! Ran my butt off right from the start! at the turn around, did not see "her", thought maybe she changed/took off a shirt? Saw KimmyK (on the bike also!!) and Jeanne!
What would you do differently?:

nothing (maybe do some more speed work?) I DID beat her by about 1 1/2 mn on the run!! Talked to her after, she said her legs were trashed for the run! (guess I read her right huh?)
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

hard training during the week?? (not my usual "do nothing" between two race weekends!!)
