My swimming sucks. I swam sidestroke the whole way.. but I felt good and could have kept going..
What would you do differently?:

Get my freestyle right so I don't have to swim side stroke!

Good transition. I took my time getting to my bike as last year I was dizzy coming out of water and actually lost my cookies..

I had a great ride. Passed many, got passed by few. Some patches of the road were that bumpy texture which really slowed me down. Could have pushed it a bit harder.
What would you do differently?:

Pushed a bit harder and drank more water. Had my gatorade in my top bottle rack instead of water and it was leaving nasty film in my mouth! Ick!

Comments:

Took time getting to bike rack.
What would you do differently?:

Run a bit with bike.

Comments:

My mind got the best of me and I walked half of the run. When I was running I was having trouble pacing myself and running too fast and puttered out. Had no reason to walk, I could have crushed that run!!!
What would you do differently?:

So mad at myself for the run! Running is totally mental for me and I shouldn't have let my mind take over! Next time I will pace myself from the get go and run the whole way!!
Post race
Warm down:

Met up with family and friends and made a run for it when the rain came down!! :)

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Uh..the walking during the run! Swimming side stroke...

Event comments:

Will definitely do this race next year!!
