Swim
Comments: Felt good through the whole swim. My goal was to not have to flip on to my back and I didn't. I freestyled the majority of the swim with a few breast strokes to sight. There was no panic at all--managed it all very well. What would you do differently?: Push a little harder. Transition 1
Comments: Felt T1 went very well. Found my bike no problem, very systematic in my approach. What would you do differently?: Speed it up! Bike
Comments: Loved the bike! Felt great...had minor problems deciding what gear to stay in, but overall had a blast on the bike. What would you do differently?: Push harder! Transition 2
Comments: Again felt totally calm and was very systematic. What would you do differently?: Speed it up! Run
Comments: Run was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I felt like I was barely moving so I was pleased to see I still ran under a 10 minute mile, even with the hills. Felt like my legs really didn't get going until 2.5 miles into it. It was hot...dumped water on my head at both water stations. What would you do differently?: Push harder! Post race
Warm down: Grabbed a few oranges, walked around a bit. What limited your ability to perform faster: Inexperience Event comments: My first triathlon couldn't have gone any better! I loved every minute of it! Last updated: 2010-08-22 12:00 AM

Up at five. Ate a bagel with peanut butter & a banana. Felt pretty calm.
A lot of walking through transition area, making sure I knew where to come in and out for each event, counted rows and racks.
No real warmup.
