Swim
Comments: being my first group open water swim, I freaked out a little. My breathing was way off, and I never really got into a comfortable rhythm. Ended up walking part of the course. What would you do differently?: more open water swim practice!! Transition 1
Comments: I was really happy with my transition, wetsuit came off easy. Bike mount was good, shoes attached to bike worked really well What would you do differently?: Run faster from the water to transition Bike
Comments: I eased off on the bike a little too much, wanted to save more for the run. What would you do differently?: Go harder on the bike, I had more than enough in the tank for the run Transition 2
Comments: I got cut off into transition and ended up skidding on my foot, which resulted in tearing a bunch of skin off of my foot. Run
Comments: The cut on my foot really slowed my run pace down. Calves started to cramp up bad just out of T2. Had to stop to get gauze at an aid station. Crowd support and volunteer support was awesome! What would you do differently?: not much-if I had not injured my foot I could have run much faster. I do need to do more bricks to get my calves used to running off the bike Post race
Warm down: went to aid station and sat down, started to cramp up. What limited your ability to perform faster: freaking out in the water and not having a comfortable rhythm, not going hard enough on the bike, and injury of my foot. Event comments: This was a very well run and organized race! I will be doing this again next year for sure! Last updated: 2009-07-19 12:00 AM
