Comments:

I was second out of the water in my group of 3. I felt good swimming.
What would you do differently?:

Practice more
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

Put on shoes outside pool, run on grass to get helmet and bike.
What would you do differently?:

My shoes were hard to get on....need to loosen my Yankz. Normally I do transtions faster
Bike
  • 10m 52s
  • 2.4 miles
  • 13.25 mile/hr
Comments:

They gave me the wrong directions when getting out of transition so I went the wrong way. One minute into the bike portion my number on my bike came off. I passed one person, he passed me back and then I passed him for good. I hit 20 mph on one point on the course. They misdirected again into the transtion area when I had to do another loop. I used my regular pedals instead of my clip ins as the bike was so short.
What would you do differently?:

I would practice more and try and use my common sense as to where to go.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

I fast as I just set down my helmet, hung my bike and off I went.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Run

Comments:

I pushed hard from the start. When I got to water station I walked a little to drink the water. I passed 2 people including those from previous wave. On the sprint to the finish I raced this boy and smoked him...finished about 50 feet ahead of him.
What would you do differently?:

Keep practicing.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk around, tried to get warm, cheered on Shasha and Libby.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of practice

Event comments:

I like doing longer races better. The girls that won my AG compete in a National Level in cross country and run sub 6 m/m.

I saw two road bikes with aerobars on them. There were about 6 road bikes, and only mine and one other were 700 wheels and regular not kids size road bikes. I got some nice comments on my Trek 1000 that I bought with my paperroute money.

I felt did my best. I was a bummed that I didn't place, but it isn't all about winning.
