 Swim
Comments: I have been swimming a lot and usually feel good. Today I felt terrible. Couldn't breathe for the first half of the course. I seriously questioned whether I could finish the swim. I even stood up in a shallow area to collect myself. The second half I managed to get my breathing down and felt better. Not my best swim. What would you do differently?: Not get in an accident the night before! Warm up before the swim start!  Transition 1
Comments: I am trying to work on my t times which are always too long. This was ok considering it was semi-long run from the water to the t area. What would you do differently?: move faster  Bike
Comments: My best bike time. One women kept passing me...squeek right front of me leaving about 4 feet and then stop pedalling and coast. So I would then have no choice but to pass her...leaving plenty of room when I pulled in front of her. Then she would do it again...at least 4 times! I was getting pissed. If you want to freakin' rest stay behind me b!tch!! It was just rude! What would you do differently?: nothing Transition 2
Comments: wasted time tying my shoes...its gotta be done though What would you do differently?: get speed laces for my shoes  Run
Comments: I'm happy with the run. It was much better than Mooseman. I stopped only to drink at the water stations which were plentiful! Passed by tons of people including Laura. What would you do differently?: Work on my run speed this year. Post race
Warm down: Three of my co-workers were at the finish line cheering. That was awesome! The orange slices tasted like nectar of the gods!! What limited your ability to perform faster: I am happy with my performance. This is my second season, so everything I do this year is waaaay better that last year. Event comments: This was a fun BT event with lots of familiar faces and food. It was great seeing everyone. Thanks to Sue's parents who let me change in their motor home...I was freezing! I didn't have a chance to make the dish I was supposed to bring due to my accident the night before...sorry. Thanks to whoever made the oatmeal and the chocolate cookies. They were yummy!

I got into a car accident the night before the race. Nobody was hurt except for my car! ..the first thing I thought about was "can I still race tomorrow"... that shows where my mind is..
I was very shaken up and the back of my head, neck and shoulders were really stiff when I got up. I was in a crappy mood and pissed at myself for wrecking my car.
found a spot for my daughter to volunteer..talked to BT'ers and some of my co workers who were volunteering.
Set up my t/a and made my way to the swim start.
My sister lives right off the course and she showed up before I got in the water and took my picture.
