 Swim
Comments: I think my overall rank sums it up nicely. I'm SLOW. Very very SLOW. I thought I was moving pretty quickly until most of the wave behind me caught and passed me. I'm happy that I was able to do this swim because it was BY FAR my longest OWS yet. BTW, my watr resistent HR monitor wasn't so water resistant- as soon as I got in the water the damn thing filled up with water, so I took it off and had a volunteer give it to my husband. So much for knowing how long I've been racing! What would you do differently?: Swim more swim more swim more. I have A LOT of work to do.  Transition 1
Comments: It was a long way from the lake to transition, and I tried to move quickly but not too quickly. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Bike
Comments: As usual the bike was my stongest event. The Blue Lu did well and I have no regrets about racing on him untested. I passed a bunch of women and even a few men, and didn't get passed by any women. Somewhere between the 5 and 15 mile markers, Aaron and Rob passed me, and then right before the finish I caught up to Pam. What would you do differently?: Get a proper bike fitting Transition 2
Comments: I took my time because I didn't want to get my HR up any higher. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Run
Comments: Ugh. This SUCKED. My hips were shot. My left foot was numb. The entire men's and women's 35+ field that hadn't already passed me on the swim/bike passed me on the run. But I made it :). What would you do differently?: Um, RUN MORE? DO MORE BRICKS? Post race
Warm down: I was FREEZING. Drank my first Red Bull :). Ate lunch with C and Rob and Meredith. Walked around a little. What limited your ability to perform faster: No one thing. This was my first olympic, my first tri season, I know I didn't train enough, but I did it, and I have a time (and target) to beat next year. Event comments: What a great race! Plenty of volunteers, lots of food and drink, lots of BT people, very organized. I will be back next year! Pics: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/photos/photo-thumbnail...

Drove up the day before- went to packet pickup, went to Kathy's party and chilled, drove the bike course with Rob and Aaron with my psycho husband at the wheel. Slept like crap, got a wake up call from Rob at 5:10, had a bagel with pb and 2 cups of OJ, packed up the car, and headed for the race site.
The usual- talking with BT people, posing for pics, trying not to think about the swim.
