Swim
Comments: Swm was ok but crowded. I did like having the lanes divided by skill level. What would you do differently?: Not sure what I would do differetly if anything. It was a smidge faster than anticipated. Transition 1
Comments: The bike was my best event and I felt really good during the ride. Probably could have gone faster but I was worried about the run. Had to go over some dirt before we got on the bike path; a little bumpy but not too bad. Took wrong turn but a fellow biker gave me a shout out, "NO GOOD". What would you do differently?: Need bke shoes; some day soon. Bike
Comments: I felt great on the bike and confident. Realize I should train a lot harder. What would you do differently?: Train with more intensity. And use Chamois creme. Transition 2
Comments: This was an easy transition because I didn't have to change shoes. What would you do differently?: Nothing Run
Comments: My legs cramped immediately. Stopped to stretch but my legs felt like logs. So I jogged and walked. Finally got tired of that and ran at a quicker pace and walked with the same windedness, if thats even a word, but running with more distance achieved than just jogging. What would you do differently?: Drink a lot more before setting off to run. I was extremly thirsty by the tme I got to the water station. Post race
Warm down: Walked & Stretched. Drank a RockStar Recovery drink. What limited your ability to perform faster: Not training with intensity. Event comments: Being my first race it was absolutely amazing. Just proud to have completed the race! My goal was to complete the race in 2 hrs. I completed the race faster than expected. A great group of volunteers and I even medaled...of course there were only three in my age group, but whatever I got third!!Woot Woot! Last updated: 2010-07-17 12:00 AM
