Swim
Comments: The water was a little chilly for me without a wetsuit, but I survived. I was definitely tired but I didn't feel that bad. I couldn't see anything though - time for new goggles! I stopped many times and had to take off my goggles to figure out which way to go. Very frustrating...I'm usually a better swimmer so my time was a little disappointing. What would you do differently?: New goggles Transition 1
Bike
Comments: HILLY! But those are good for me, right? I felt good, even though i'm still pretty slow. I was able to get my fastest downhill speed to date - 30 mph. That was fun!! What would you do differently?: Train on more hills :) Transition 2
Run
Comments: It was a concrete path with a gravel shoulder most of the way, Also a little hilly, but no too bad. One aid station at the half way point. This will probably be the only time in my triathlon career that I actually run the entire run leg! (Because I did it first!) This is definitely a PR for me!! What would you do differently?: Nothing Post race
Warm down: Walked around getting goody bag, food and drinks. Stretched on the grass. What limited your ability to perform faster: Beside the goggles, it was a decent race for me. I'm training for an oly and this was just a fun and well-organized workout. Event comments: I love that you can do the events in any order you want - good time! The weather was a bit cooler than average for this time of year which helped quite a bit. I think it could have been kinda tough if it were any warmer. Last updated: 2010-07-22 12:00 AM

I don't really have a "routine"...I pack the night before, get up, eat breakfast and I'm on my way. This wasn't my "A" race, just thought it would be fun!
I just walked around, checking out the course and transition. You could do the events in any order you want, tri and du options. I chose to run/bike/swim - that always made the most sense to me - go for a refreshing swim after running and biking! I didn't fill out the transition info because of the goofy order.
