Swim
Comments: Less than stellar swim. The first half was just a little congested, so I couldn't find any rhythm. Second half someone passed me and I was able to draft. Time includes run to transition. What would you do differently?: I need more pool time! Transition 1
Comments: Quick transition. Didn't help that my hubby (the guys raced later) was heckling me and yelling things like, "What are you doing- making a sandwich?" What would you do differently?: 2nd fastest transition, good for me Bike
Comments: Felt great on the bike and did a ton of passing, which is always nice. Splits were near my time trial pace. The more I ride the Ridley the more I love it on race days. Happy with the 2nd fastest bike of day, considering the girl that beat me beat all the guys, too What would you do differently?: Waited a little long to come out of shoes- get prepared a bit earlier! Transition 2
Comments: A little slower here since I grabbed a quick drink Run
Comments: Felt fantastic during the run. All my speedwork is starting to pay off. Really felt I could have maintained that pace for a 10K. Hoping to concentrate on running this fall. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: I forget that my watch is waterproof so I could save 10 seconds or so putting it on beforehand. May start banding sunglasses to bike so I can put them on while riding. Event comments: Volunteers and organization and finish area were top notch, as well as transition area. Course was a bit tricky and my hubby and a few other guys missed a turn on bike that added on 1.5 extra miles. Run course was wonderful and marked with arrows. The only thing that could improve is having an award ceremony. Last updated: 2013-07-01 12:00 AM

Hubby and I stayed overnight in Cincinnati Saturday night, so we stayed up fairly late checking out the area. Woke up in time to grab a banana and sipped on gatorade on way to race.
Did not warm up, other than an unscheduled 400 yard run to the car and a 30 second dip in pool.
