 Swim
Comments: I headed down to the deck with Tri Daddy, he sent me ahead of him this year. I passed 4 or 5 people and got crushed at one of the walls I made sure to slap that dude's toes when I passed him, not my fault man. What would you do differently?: Maybe I should have pushed harder but for the lack of swim training this spring I'm not going to complain.  Transition 1
Comments: It was cold, hello headlights. I got into my bike shoes pretty quickly but getting my shirt on was kind of a pain, once I got my arms through the long sleeves and the whole thing over my shirt I took off. I didn't care that it was half up still. What would you do differently?: Nothing, considering the weather this was the best I could do.  Bike
Comments: Last year the bike course about killed me but I had heard that the course had changed. That was indicative within the firt quarter mile. The highlight of my biking expereince was just as I crested the first hill, out of no where, I literally didn't hear anything behind me, I feel a hard slap on my butt, it was my Triathlon Dad, I swear it was the slap heard round the world, it was hard and loud, and as I saw him pull up next to me I started cracking up. I tried to hang but just couldn't. This girl loves her Tri Dad as that provided some great motivation to get my butt moving. I'm a sucky biker and I'm a wuss! Wet roads scare me and I haven't spent nearly the time on this bike this spring as I should have, so given those things I'm not complaining. What would you do differently?: More training would be a good thing. Transition 2
Comments: It would help if I would have remembered to unvelcro my freaking bike shoes, but my feet were numb, whatever. What would you do differently?: Uh...yeah.  Run
Comments: I went as fast as I could, really, I did. My lungs actually felt good but the lack of brick training was evident, opps. I'm not super happy with this run but at the same time considering my training has been lacking I'm not going to complain either. I know I just need to push a little more in my training and as things are starting to steady in my personal life that should be more possible. It was great to hear Tri Daddy yelling for me in the last 400 yards. What would you do differently?: Run more. Post race
Warm down: Gave Tri Daddy a big hug and then we walked over and were joined by Bananatoes and waited to cheer on Aysel and RunningFlyr as they both finished. After they finished went back to transition packed up and headed for some post recovery food and barley/hops recovery mixture. What limited your ability to perform faster: Simple...must train more. Event comments: Always a good starting race. Last updated: 2011-03-12 12:00 AM

It was a little unusual as I'm not used to having people in my house on the morning of the race. RunningFLyr made coffee and brought me some, I jumped in the shower only to get out and get dressed and discover that Aysel, it seems in her sofa fun, broke my TV - not really and RunningFLyr was able to fix it. The 17 Year Old baby sitter was sitting on the floor in the living room like sheesh already everyone leave already. Racked bikes and jumped in the car and headed toward MU. The ride was pretty quiet outside of my blarind music - this is the way I like it, I don't like to talk much on the ride, well with the one notable exception being after staying out all night drinking and then riding to the race (Deer Creek last fall - I think I still owe the driver a beer because I was pretty obnoxious). Anyway ate my cliff bar and listened to the tunes.
No such thing as a WU at Miami. Set up transition and found my Tri Daddy and hugged him and got ready. Headed up the the gallery where RunningFLyr and Tri Daddy and Aysel and I sat and waited for the fun to start.
