Comments: vaseline on feet helped, but forehead screamed in pain for first 100m due to cold temp, making me panic, serious thoughts that I couldn't make it because it wasn't feeling better. What would you do differently?: Wear 2 swim caps or purchase cold water swimming headgear ![]() Transition 1
Comments: struggled to find the pockets on my new tri suit to put my gel in, finally gave up ![]() Bike
Comments: if more familiar with course, could have picked up 1-2 minutes ![]() Transition 2
Comments: the person next to me on the bike rack scattered all of my running gear which was slightly frustrating, didn't let it get to me. ![]() Run
![]() Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: improper head gear for swim 3 week vacation followed by 2 weeks to get ready for race Event comments: Friendly crowd, friendly competitors, many parents sneaking out to race and head back to kids sports events for the afternoon. You could hear a pin drop (plus the birds singing in the woods) during the national anthem. Since this race supports the IM ABLE foundation for veterans, a heart warming start to the race. Additionally they had a spin class for spectators during the race, along with hand cranks for the physically challenged. Great way to start the season. Last updated: 2010-09-19 12:00 AM
