 Swim
Comments: Swam smoothly and with confidence. I was passed a lot it seems. I took it easy the first half, but then picked it up a bit during the second. Was unsure how fast to start off for fear of losing endurance, but stayed fine the whole distance. What would you do differently?: Pick it up a bit earlier.  Transition 1
Comments: Found my row easily, but could not find my bike. Searched for a while in order to find it. Had a baloon beside it to guide me, but still lost it. What would you do differently?: Have a balloon ties to my T area as well as chalk on my row.  Bike
Comments: Got into a good rythm about 1/4 the way in...felt good. What would you do differently?: Work on cadence more, use aerobars Transition 2
 Run
Comments: Wow, it was really hot and hilly! Had to walk a little at the top of the turn around hill, and as I drank at each aid station, but other than that ran the whole way. It was hard! What would you do differently?: Since it was so hot, I had to stop at each water station. Under better conditions, I wouldn't want to do that. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Heat and hills Event comments: I loved it! Quite an accomplishment for me. :) Last updated: 2010-03-31 12:00 AM
