Swim
Comments: Good time for me. Only had to stop at one turn to go around someone. There was a little bit of a pile up at the ladder trying to get out of the pool, which cost me a few seconds. Dropped a little about a minute from the June Race What would you do differently?: Nothing really! Transition 1
Comments: I lost about five seconds at the mount/dismount line trying to get my foot into the cage. Bike
Comments: This bike leg was great! I flew and was having a really good time too! I drank two water bottles full, had a hammer gel, and was still really thirsty! Oh yeah, and most importantly i stayed on my bike this time. Dropped five minutes from the June Race What would you do differently?: Make sure to hydrate well the night before and morning of the race. Trade my morning soda for water. Transition 2
Comments: Good here, grabbed a drink of gatorade and off i went! What would you do differently?: nothing Run
Comments: OKAY, so this run course has to be short, even shorter than 4.8 cause i don't run this fast. I know the course and i didn't short cut, but i just don't run at that speed. Even on really really good days. And while i felt awesome on the run and felt like i was running fast, i just don't think i ran that fast. So maybe the course was short. Even so i dropped five minutes from the june race. I felt really parched the whole run. Couldn't drink enough water. What would you do differently?: Hydrate better. Post race
Warm down: Walked around and talked to some more competitors. Waited for the awards, and then off to play some softball! What limited your ability to perform faster: lack of hydration the night before and moring of the race. Event comments: I think this was my best race all season. I just felt like i was flying, and i had a really good time. It was just soo much fun!! I love this sport. The fact that i placed and dropped 11 minutes from my time in June was just icing on the cake. Can't wait til next year's race. Last updated: 2006-07-02 12:00 AM

Cliff bar for breakfast. Got to the race site about 7am. Watched the teams go off, talked to some fellow competitors and got ready to swim.
Wish they had a pool to warm up in, but the didn't, so i just streched out a bit.
