Pre-race routine:

Thankfully, my husband got up extra early to set up my ART tent so that I only had to worry about getting transition set up. Ate a bowl of oatmeal and took about 10 steps outside the Hilton to get set up. Had enough time to check on my tent and make sure I had everything I needed to work on people after the race.

Comments:

This went a lot better than my first open water swim. I was able to get into a better rhythm. It was cool seeing/hearing all of the people up on the bridge cheering.
What would you do differently?:

Get further into the water, closer to the buoys, even if it means treading for a while.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

I'm just so slow here, need to practice more.
Bike
  • 00m
  • 12.43 miles
  • 0.00 mile/hr
What would you do differently?:

Push a little harder and ride in aero more.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

I was tired here and moving really slow.
Run
  • 00m
  • 3.45 miles
  •  min/mile
What would you do differently?:

NEED MORE TRAINING!! Also, if I have to walk, I need to get into a rhythm of run/walk, not just start walking whenever the feeling hits.
Post race
Warm down:

Grabbed something to drink and sat under my ART tent for a few minutes to cool down. Started working on people about 20 minutes later. I was afraid I would be dead tired, but it wasn't too bad.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not enough training. Now I know I can do the distance, I just need to work on my speed and overall endurance. It will come with time. I also need to work on the ability to know my body. I know I'm not pushing it hard enough, but I don't always feel that way mid-race!

Event comments:

Simply put, a great race! Next year will be even better. I'm wondering how soon I should book my room for TriWaco 2010?
