Swim
Comments: This was a horrible swim! I thought I got in the front of the wave. There were a couple people in front of me but they were slow and for some reason, I couldn't get around them. What would you do differently?: Be in the front. Try harder to move around people. I'm too polite on the swim :) Transition 1
Comments: There was mud and puddles everywhere. Running my bike out was tough. My bike shoes were soaked and kind of hard to get on. Bike
Comments: I felt good considering my lack of training and the wet roads. What would you do differently?: Train more. Not be such a wimp with wet roads and downhills. Transition 2
Comments: My running shoes were SOAKED. It was really hard to get them on. Ran through a giant mud puddle on the way out, shoes filled with mud. What would you do differently?: Bring socks. Put my shoes in a plastic bag. Run
Comments: My shoes were wet and felt like they weighed 10 pounds each. The wet shoes and no socks lead to some painful rubbing on the back of my heel. I thought I was having a horrible run. I didn't feel good and was a little depressed I kept getting passed. I ran 9:21/mile which is good for me. I'll take it. What would you do differently?: Put shoes in a bag. bring socks. Post race
Event comments: This was a fun race. I'm sure if it wasn't thundering and pouring rain it would have been much better. Maybe next year. Last updated: 2011-06-12 12:00 AM

Woke up around 4. Had egg salad and toast (not sure why I went with egg salad), and checked the weather. 90% chance of thunderstorms all morning. Thought about going back to bed. Decided to make the drive.
Stood around and got soaked in the rain.
