Pre-race routine:

had my everyday breakfast of pbj bagel and diet mnt dew :) Grabbed a latte on the way to the race site too!
Event warmup:

nothing- waited for the lightening and rain and wind to pass so we could start on time!!
Stayed in the car and didnt even set up transition til the rain stopped- I mean who wants wet stuff if they dont need to have wet stuff??
Saw my garmin was about dead so went without knowing my time!! Goal was 2:30.. ha came pretty close- huh?!

Damn... I am just not a swimmer. I need to swim ore- but even when I do swim more I dont feel like I get any faster. Used to say ot was over rated but if I could have placed higher in the swim- I could be walking away with cash :) damn.
Swim went fine anyways- wore my sleeveless... its a little more comfortable for me.
Sighted OK- just never really pushed hard.
The girl who placed ahead of me beat me by 8 minutes in the swim- no lie 8 minutes.... damn... I almost caught her though!
What would you do differently?:

need we ask?

Felt good out there... course was pretty fast. I jujst wasnt pushing the watss I should have been- too bad if I would have been pushing threshold Id have been at 22 easy!
No chics passed me which is always good.
Was kind of weid we got back to transition and were only at 15 miles...was alittle confused- but i think our 2cnd loop was the sprint loop??
At this time my bike was making a weird noise- it sounded like I had a flat... but I was still going fast and it didnt look like it. I speed up to this older guy and asked him if he heard that noise on my bike and if I had a flat... he looked and says- " no- looks like you have a race sticker stuck to your back tire" uh.... hmmmm..oh well.... I ignore it and after a few miles it falls off... good I feel much better!
Last mile was fun... yeesh it was like a long downhill slope...ha- love it.
# 1 bike split in AG :) Only like 2-3 minutes behind Lauren Jensen- ha I think I can take her!
What would you do differently?:

push threshold. I need to be there for this distance! I was at 187 watts.... should be at 200 at least.

3rd fastest T2. Works for me. Did drop my PT computer and had to stop and grab it...how that fell off I have no clue.

Got my legs back pretty quick. Had no garmin so had no idea of pace or hr- probaly agood thing:) Some guys says- woah thats a pretty fast pace.. i said- "yep- thats how I roll" lol... did make me rethink my pace! But I felt good and was passing people so just tried to hold on. Flat course and you got to see some people so that was fun!
Once again no girls passed me- love it.
This was a solid run for me esp after the bike! Ill take it:)
Started to rain with less then .5 miles to go- kind of felt good.
#2 run split in AG. Was less then 2 minutes behind Lauren Jensen...why is it fun to compare?? I dont know!!
What would you do differently?:

dont know- at times i felt like I could have been pushing harder but didnt cua I didnt want to fade. think it turned out OK
Post race
Warm down:
