Didn't get a warm up in because the bathroom lines were so long.

Course and water was fine, but not a very good swim for me. Got off course on the way back and really added some time on. Kinda disappointed because my swims this year have all been off, and not sure why.

Almost got stuck! Somehow the string of my wetsuit got stuck along the velcro liner and couldn't get my wetsuit pulled out until I actually got to my bike.

Overall happy with my bike. Course was a little confusing, lots of turns and some water/bumpy roads made it hard to get any good speed up, as soon as I got into a rhythm I'd have to slow down for a turn. I could tell my swim was really off by how many people I had to pass on the bike!

Comments:

Actually felt okay for my run. I was a little nervous going into it because this past week of training was longer and thought I would feel it on the run, but felt okay. Tried my hardest to chase down two women in front of me because I was told I was 6th woman overall and that gave me something to keep going, but then ended up being passed at literally the last 50 meters by someone in my age group.

Event comments:

Mixed feelings about this race. I went into it not expecting a lot because I had 18hrs of training in this week going into the race, so I assumed I'd feel okay on the swim and my legs would be dead for the bike and run. Ended up having a terrible swim and doing better than I expected on the bike and okay on the run.
