Swim was cancelled due to storm and horrible conditions. :(
What would you do differently?:

Have nicer weather so I can swim!! This is my strongest event, so I was more than a little bit disappointed that it was cancelled. Oh well, what can you do?!

Super wet and soggy bike!! But my first race on the new road bike. LOVED this experience!

Comments:

Totally wet roads. I'm surprised I didn't see any wipeouts, it was that scary!
What would you do differently?:

Would have cornered and turned faster if the roads were dry, but I'm pretty happy with my bike pace - big improvement from last year's season!

Comments:

Slower transition times due to wet conditions and absolutely SOAKED shoes/clothes!

Comments:

This 2nd run was much slower than the 1st run but I beat my 10 min/mile goal, so I'm happy with that! The one HUGE benefit to the lousy weather (high 50s and cloudy/rainy) was that I was very comfortable and didn't feel like I was overheating like I usually do, yay! :)
What would you do differently?:

I have to get faster on the run!!
Post race
Warm down:

walked around a bit and hung out with tri team to watch awards ceremony. it was so freaking cold!!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

definitely weather! need to work on run speed, too.

Event comments:

I'm sure this is an even better race in nicer weather conditions! The lousy weather really put a damper on things. I'll probably do this race again next year.
