 Swim
Comments: I really hate the swim part of tri's because I think I suck at them. We were all standing around and heard thunder and Team Magic aounced that it was going to be a 15 minute delay. I thought YEA this is going to turn into a duathlon (although I hate the duathlon premise). Well it didnt.... I was 29th on my bib number. Entered the water, swam good the first 100, and then settled into my stroke... I did get passed 5 times maybe on the swim and did pass 1 person I know. Got out of the water running and ran to T1. Time to beat from last year 7:42 beat it.... What would you do differently?: Just get faster I guess... I was happy with the swim, I am just slow.....  Transition 1
Comments: UHHHH not going to complain about 40 seconds!!!! Yes! I was first in my AG for T1... That is my first in anything in my AG... Time to beat from last year 2:13 damn was I that slow before???? What would you do differently?: Nada  Bike
Comments: See comments above... What would you do differently?: ride harder, ride lots... I am getting there.... All the hard work is paying off. Transition 2
Comments: I thought this would have been my faster T time but it wasnt. Somebody racked their bike in my space and I had a little trouble getting my shoes on. Not going to complain... it was still a good T2 Time to beat 1:38 What would you do differently?: Be a little faster, would have been happy with a 53... a few little hiccups nothing big.  Run
Comments: Run went well, was suprised because I thought I went out slow... When I hit my 1 mile lap button and looked down to see I was just now at 1 hour on the race I got stoked... Tried to start reeling in the guy in front of me. During mile 2 I decided to keep my pace because I didnt know what was ahead in mile 3 because we had not drove the course. I did get past by the 1st and 2nd place women here, they were running side by side and I yelled for them to go... Mile 2 was a little hilly. Mile 3 was great, hit the water station, thru water on my head and beared down for the finish. Me and some guy sprinted it out in my age group and I beat him at the line. Time to beat 27:49 What would you do differently?: Maybe be faster but I am getting there... I cant complain, run was great... I WILL get faster I know... Post race
Warm down: none, stood around and waited on Chris, Renee, LeAnn and a few others to finish. What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing other than just getting better at this sport Event comments: Go team Magic, they rock! Last updated: 2006-06-07 12:00 AM

Stayed all night with Chris (Cbost), we went out the night before to this really good greek resturant nd had some great food. Went to bed by 10:30. Woke up at 4am got ready and drobve the hour to the race site, we still had not picked up our packets; so we had to do that first thing. Picked up race stuff then went to transition and got everything all set up.
Ran a mile for a warm up, went to the bathroom a few times. Swam 100M in the pool and I was ready.
