Up at 4 am, headed down to lake and transition. Set up, sat on hill for hours eating my pb and honey sandwiches.
Event warmup:

Stretching.

  • 1640 yards

Comments:

I started WAY too far back in the wave. Took me forever to climb over all the breast strokers. Was very stupid of me. Finally got past them all and into a groove. My time sucked though, wasted too much of it getting past people. Lesson learned.
What would you do differently?:

Start towards the front.
Transition 1

Comments:

Got a calf cramp as I was taking off wetsuit, so I had to sit down. Slowed me down.
What would you do differently?:

Not cramp.

Comments:

Felt great on the bike, slightly annoyed by the number of people not riding on the left like they were supposed to. Happy with my pace.
What would you do differently?:

Get a tri bike!! :)

Felt quick.

Comments:

Felt ok, didnt realize until mile 4 that I was going slow. Shoulda paid more attention earlier.
What would you do differently?:

Work on SPEED!!
Post race
Warm down:

Took LOTS of Peak Bars, I paid way too much for the race.

Event comments:

I had a blast, and will be back next year. With a better swim, a new bike, and a faster run :)
