Swim
Comments: I started a little fast and then had to calm back down and catch my breath. No problems with catching up or getting passed, was perfect. This is the first time I have ever been able to get my swim time under a 2 min pace. I know it was only a 200 in the pool, but I was still excited. Transition 1
Comments: While waiting to get into the pool, I saw some slip coming out and land on their face. So I went ahead and walk nice and carefully until I was outside. Bike
Comments: This started of great and then I turned and hit the wind at mile two. It wasn't horrible, but it certainly slowed me down. Transition 2
Comments: I will confess that I took my time in t2 because I was out of breath and my legs were shaky. Run
Comments: I just couldn't get my legs under me and slowed down as things went along. The course is a little short, so it makes the run time look more flattering than it really was! The run was a little disappointing for me. Post race
Event comments: I enjoy this race because it is nice and small and lets a lot of people end up with medals as a result! There isn't a lot of entertainment or anything. But it is a great little race for the price. I hit my goal time exactly, so I'm happy. Just wish my legs had felt better on the run. I think I should have backed off the bike just a tad.

Got there right when transitioned opened to get my favorite spot. Although it never gets crowded here, so you can really show up any time.
Said hi to Hilde and hung out in the warm pool area waiting to start.
