Swim
Comments: Started out good. I was actually swimming, then I turned at the first buoy and saw how far I had to go and panicked. I thought no way am I going to be able to do this! I flipped to my back and provided encouragement to the 4 ladies behind me as we were the last ones. I kept saying we can do it and we'll do it together. one gal said she might cry, but I kept saying we were going to make it together....and WE DID! What would you do differently?: Swim the distance in a lake at least 2 times. Transition 1
Comments: I liked T1 after swimming. I wasn't too bummed to see all the bikes GONE! It was just nice to sit calmly on my bucket and put on my shoes. I also talked to my hubby as I changed saying...boy swimming sucks! :) Bike
Comments: Good ride, I like riding much better than swimming. :) There was a bit of a headwind, but it really felt good. My speed was good and I was smiling. What would you do differently?: Not much! Transition 2
Comments: Felt good. Still liking the bucket! What would you do differently?: Nothing. Run
Comments: Felt amazingly good. It helps to cheer others on...I was still having fun. After my swim...biking and running felt great! What would you do differently?: Not much. Post race
Event comments: Best cause it was my first! They did a great job. They sayed and cheered the last person. They announced there were 8 more folks on the course and we need to cheer for them! Last updated: 2006-03-08 12:00 AM
