Swim
Comments: The swim went great! I thought I was going to be in the BOP but end up in the MOP. The water was perfectly flat so sighting was not an issue and I swam pretty straight. When I went to go stand up I end up slipping (idk how) but I caught my self before I fell. What would you do differently?: Train harder for the swim. I didn't do many of the swim workouts due to weather conditions. Transition 1
Comments: My rack was on the opposite end of the swim exist. I lightly jogged/walk to my spot. I was able to put on the everything with ease except the sunglasses I fiddle around with them for like 5-7sec trying to get them on. Right when I jumped on the bike I looked down to make sure my computer was on. I realized I had lost it. :/ What would you do differently?: Not lose my computer and don't spend time fiddling with the sunglasses. Jog faster to my bike! Bike
Comments: I was riding with out a computer so I didn't know my speed or cadence. So I basically did the entire thing on feel. Didn't do to bad. I lost my water bottle about 4 miles in and I stop to get it. I think it was the right thing to do because it was starting to get hot. The last mile and 1/2 there was a guy drafting me, I wasn't really sure what to do so I just let it slide. What would you do differently?: To stop being clumbsy and drop water bottle and bike computer. Transition 2
Comments: I think I did good overall I jump off like 5 feet before the dismount line since there was a 4 other racers on the line trying to unclip and I was a little scared that I would cross the line while still on the bike. I was able to take off everything pretty quick and put on my racebelt and sunglasses while moving. What would you do differently?: Practice getting off faster and changing shoes. Next time might consider doing the run sock less to save a few seconds. Run
Comments: I felt great for the first minute or so but then my legs started to cramp up and I end up doing the first mile really slow with a little bit of walking. I finally got my legs back as I was approaching the first aid station and then I was able to run normal. What would you do differently?: Incorporate more brick work outs into my training plan and continue to run even when I feel like walking. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: My training because I gave it everything I had since I end up puking after I crossed the finish line. I was aiming for 1:10 but end up doing it 3 minutes faster so that made me extremely happy. Event comments: I had a lot of fun for my first race and I didn't do to bad. The volunteer were great and there wasn't a lack of water/food during,before and after. Last updated: 2011-06-18 12:00 AM

Woke up at 4:30 and ate my breakfast(toast w/ peanut butter) 24oz of H2O. I end up getting to the race later then I wanted but I was able to get my transition set up w/ 40 mins to warm up and relax my nerves.
Took an easy 100m swim, the water was a lot warmer then I expected. I followed it up with some stretching, then sit and wait till my wave was called.
