Swim
Comments: This was a short swim for me(compared to my last tri). Couldn't believe it when I hit the last buoy!! Remebered to swim till I touched the bottom this time! Makes it a lot easier to stand up! What would you do differently?: Swim a little faster! Transition 1
Comments: Still a bit SLOW on this transition. I always feel like celebrating after the swim!! What would you do differently?: Get a move on it FASTER!!! Bike
Comments: A hilly, but beautiful course!! Very fast downhill. What would you do differently?: Ride more HILLS!! Transition 2
Comments: Just as I thought, I ran into the wrong row. When I finally located my bike, the rest of the transition went pretty smooth! What would you do differently?: Locate the bike faster. Need to practice riding on the top of my shoes and dismounting without falling over. Run
Comments: I didn't realize this was a 6K course. Now I am not so bummed out about my longer running time. Lost a little time trying to figure out where to go at a point along the way...no marker!! Other than that, I ran mostly and walked only after the water stops!! Now I know why that last mile seemed so long!!! What would you do differently?: Start doing speedwork! Post race
Warm down: Walked for about 10" afterwards then stretched on the green GRASS!! Got some orangesand a bagel. Got sprayed with Kool n Fit....GREAT stuff! Then headed off to the beer garden!! This is what triathlons are all about!!! What limited your ability to perform faster: Although it was cool, the humidity was really high. Guess I am not used to it anymore! Event comments: A well organized race! Good one for beginners. Lots of post-race food and goodies. A great get-away for us desert-dwellers!! Next year it's the International distance!! I'm pumped!!

Stretched a bit. Check bag again!! Get a cup of coffee at the hotel's contientel breakfast. To nervous to eat anything. Breathe and keep CALM....
Set up transition area. Not too crowded, which is nice!! Had a bit of trouble sliding on the wetsuit, because by then I was HOT and sweaty!! As I was trying to pull it up, I put a gouge in it! #*&$!! Oh well! Got it on finally and headed out for the swim!!
