 Swim
Comments: Holy chop Batman--the lake was angry that day! 20 + mph winds made the swim pretty difficult! They almost cancelled it due to the conditions, but did not. I was thankful that I'm so comfortable in the water--a lot of panicking going on...not me! I did the Dory and just kept swimming, just kept swimming! The whole time I kept thinking 'this is so darn fun!' My time was slowwww...but I was battling the elements! What would you do differently?: Nothing! I swam the best I could in those darn waves!  Transition 1
Comments: My darn wrists got caught in my wetsuit when I tried to pull my arms out! I could not pull the darn thing off--I was stuck with no hands! It was very frustrating, but finally used my teeth to pull! Slow transition! What would you do differently?: Not pull both arms at the same time.  Bike
Comments: Wow...the wind made the bike leg really tough as well. We headed out into the wind, uphill. I think I maxed out at 13 mph--it was really hard! I handled the hills with no problem--felt like a badass passing people on the uphills! On the way back I did hit 25-26 mph--total blast. Just like in the swim I kept thinking 'this is so darn fun!' even with the darn wind making the race really tough. What would you do differently?: Nothing, happy with my effort in the wind. Transition 2
Comments: A little faster than T1 but still pretty slow! What would you do differently?: Move faster  Run
Comments: Very happy with my run. Felt wobbly at first but got going pretty good (for me!) Again, kept thinking 'this is so darn fun!' I loved it. What would you do differently?: Maybe pushed a bit harder the second half. Post race
Warm down: Laid in the grass until my family found me! What limited your ability to perform faster: The wind...my ability to perform any faster! :-) Event comments: Although the wind REALLY sucked, I'd definitely do it again to improve my time!!! Last updated: 2013-03-26 12:00 AM

Not much of a pre-race routine! Got up, ate half of a bagel, was still full from dinner the night before.
Warmup consisted of staying warm--it was so windy--the wind was miserable. Lots of jumping up and down in the wetsuit!
