Swim
Comments: A long course. I was breathing every right stroke. A couple of times I tried to get a bilateral rhythm going but it just wasn't working for me. At one point, I was next two a guy doing breast stroke. We were going the same speed! Transition 1
Comments: I tried clipping my shoes in before hand, and jumping on bike on the fly. Unfortunately, I bungled it and shoe popped off of pedal, and I had to totall stop and get left shoe on and then try again. Oh well, nothing ventured nothing gained. What would you do differently?: Put shoes on before hopping on bike. Bike
Comments: I felt good on the bike leg. I passed more people than passed me. Transition 2
Comments: I think I did OK in this transition. Heart was going a million miles an hour! Run
Comments: Didn't feel strong, and not sure of my pace. I have a hard time judging if I am pushing too hard or not hard enough. My gut is that I should have picked up the pace more after the first mile. For about a 1/4 mile towards the end, I was stuck behing a HUGE SUV with a Bush/cheney sticker. It was blowing exhaust right at me. Ugh. I yelled for him to pull over, but no go. It seemed fitting that the polluting Bush/Cheney vehicle would be in K-bunk. What would you do differently?: Ensure a Democrat wins for President? Post race
Warm down: Walked around looking for my husband and kids. Couldn't find them. What limited your ability to perform faster: me. Event comments: A fun race! 300+ entrants in a congested area. The race organizers did a great job. Last updated: 2005-08-28 12:00 AM

Got there plenty early. I parked 3 miles away, so I biked to the start with backpack full of gear. I set up transition area, drank water, jogged a little bit.
