 Swim
Comments: The swim took me 10 minutest longer this year than it did last year, but I was higher up in my age group than last year. I also felt great during the swim. My feeling is that there was either a strong current or the course wasn't set up correctly. The results are such that I can see what the whole age group of field did to make a comparison. What would you do differently?: nothing  Transition 1
Comments: I felt pretty good about T1...nothing stands out to me  Bike
Comments: I was feeling pretty good and really trying to focus on my cadence...however at about 5-6 miles in, my chain came off and I tried to back pedal to get it back on...while I was looking down, I lost focus and rode off the edge of the road. I banged my knee and was more mentally shaken than anything else. It took me a while to figure out how to get my chain back on and once I got back on my bike my knee was killing me. I almost quit, but talked myself into going one mile...then a few more miles...I went slow for a while and then got on myself for being a wous. What would you do differently?: Not try to save 1 minute and cost myself 20 minutes Transition 2
Comments: I don't remember anything about T2 except how muddy the path was...at least a few inches of muddy water for about 15 feet.  Run
Comments: Should/could have run faster....my rank by age group is pretty disappointing. Post race
Event comments: This is a well run race. I've done it 4 times and look forward to doing it again next year. Last updated: 2013-05-02 12:00 AM

We always camp out the night before the race, but Friday night it was pouring. We set up the tents in the pouring rain, and got so soaked that I decided to get a hotel. We checked in at Super 8, changed, went to eat pizza, then to LL Bean and went back to hotel. I got my gear ready and all three of us were in bed reading by 9:30.
None...I think I stretched out a little bit, but didn't do any real warm up. The water was cold, so I swam out once, swam back and then did it again. I kept looking for the kids but they didn't come down to the race site until after my wave went off.
