Comments:

I got so stuck in a mob at the start and couldn't get out. I am sure I can handle an IM swim now b/c I was stuck for a long time and it didn't bother me
What would you do differently?:

Don't think that b/c I am the slowest swimmer in ironstride that I am the slowest in a race and GET TO THE FRONT at the start

I could have worked a little harder. Was chasing the girl who eventually beat me by 1 second. Figured she could blow herself up on the bike and I could run her down which worked but I was too nice
Actual bike ave speed was 31.
6 which I was happy with

Comments:

There was a narrow barricaded off area right before the bike dismount that somehow a tri a try person got in between me and my competition and I could not get by..arrrrgh. She got ahead then

Comments:

Well I didn't have the killer edge in me today b/c I was perfectly capable of running that girl down but I did not and came in one second behind her.
I was having a good time and she had a gang of people cheering her on and she was from Ottawa so hey, why not. I just didn't care
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Congestion in swim and T2
Me not having a killer competitive mindset today. Did that in my 3 other races

Event comments:

Timing chip results said I was 3/10 AG.
No hardware for me as the race company insisted I was 4th.
