Comments:

Total madness! By the time it was my turn in the water the lake was pure mud! Couldn't see, and waves from other gals would push me back! Used way to much of my legs in the swim.
What would you do differently?:

More open water swim training and more swim training in general!
Transition 1
  • 01m 30s
Comments:

I rocked my first transition! I really pushed.
What would you do differently?:

Got caught in traffic at transition exit, slowed down & waited behind gals. Should have asked to pass. It's a race, not a church social. =0)
Bike

Comments:

I took at least a mile to get comfortable & really push. Fact of life is, a hybrid can't keep up with road bikes. Really pushed, and legs where tired from swim.
What would you do differently?:

I did the best I could with what I had.
Transition 2
  • 01m 13s
Comments:

Sure wish my elastic laces would have arrived in time.
What would you do differently?:

Elastic laces.
Run

  • 2 miles
  • 13m 52s  min/mile
Comments:

I was fried! I made myself jog->walk.
What would you do differently?:

Be better prepared for run.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Need more training, road bike, and more training! =0)

Event comments:

I was a little disappointed in a couple things. 1.) T-shirts where impossible tiny & short. 2.) No race participation medal 3.) Post party stuff was all gone, when we went down to join. 4.) Athena & Mountain Bike categories got messed up.

Overall I plan to do more of the series and hope they can tweak the race as it progresses through the season.
