Still, this was a swim PR!

I don't feel I pushed this swim. Think I can do more but didn't want to get too tired for the distance of the entire race.... next year if I'm in better shape I will hit it harder on the swims! Also I need to use my antifog. I had to stop 6 times to clear goggles. That's slowing me way down...

mosey'd a bit here

one gel and one granola bar on bike (in 2 parts). Also, drank a double bottle of energy drink.

Hit it harder? But I had a good time on bike and didn't feel anaerobic, which is often my problem when I go out too too hard. I would reset my clock and make sure it works BEFORE the race!!!

Mine was the slowest transition in my AG, but I HAVE to change socks!!! Otherwise blisters are unbearable from the wet socks on bike.

go faster?

YEAH PR!!!
under 10min miles!!!
The weather was ideal and I didn't push it on the bike so this was doable. Also, I tried keeping my running pace with short steps but then walking when I needed to catch my breath and this is faster than just slowing down the run. I noticed a woman at Fest of Flowers who used this strategy while I didn't and she ended up beating me in the end. She had "more" leftover. But my socks did get wet and i got blisters too. What to do for heymey?

I had a bit too much kick at the end. So I should've pushed it harder but I was sore afterward and yesterday as well.

Also, I need to eat more on the bike or at the beginning of the run. I had one gel on run, but my stomach was growling again.

psychological factors. i didn't think i had a chance to place in AG so I didn't "GO for it". I couldn't pushed more on bike and more on run. But the good news is I enjoyed it and didn't feel sick or dizzy once. No goosebumps either. I am starting to get into shape.


there were no gels to be had. I didn't realize there wouldn't be, so next time, plan to bring at least one on the run.
