Comments: Ok, this was longer than two miles. They claimed 2.1, but my Garmin said 2.39 and Map My Run said 2.4, so you do the math. I also know my Garmin had me at a 8:35 avg pace. I KNOW I was running a lot faster than a 10:00 pace. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: swapped out sneakers and cap for hemet, bike shoes and sunglasses. ![]() Bike
Comments: I was in the narrow tire division. This was a pretty good time for me considering there were hills. Certainly better than any training run. I had the second fastest time in my AG (by 40 seconds, darn!). Was also faster than the three who place ahead of me. Clearly my run needs work (on it!). ![]() Transition 2

Comments: I was definitely a bit slower on this run leg. I've joined the NYRR and taking a class with them so hopefully next year I will be a bit faster. ![]() Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: This was my first year doing any kind of racing and triathlons. I also have an appt. to look into EIA (exercise induced asthma). I seem to get a sever tightness in my chest and wheeziness especially on my runs. NOt sure what the diagnoses will be, but hoping that if I do have EIA we'll get it under control so I can work harder. Event comments: This was pretty well organized I felt. It started on time. I think the distance on the run was wrong, but whatever, it was the same for everyone. This was my first time doing this race and I enjoyed it. I am pretty happy with my finish, but hope to place next year. Last updated: 2009-09-21 12:00 AM

Bagel with PB, rode my bike over to the park, about 4 blocks away. Racked in and got my chip. Took a short warm-up run...waited.
