Comments:

Beggin people to not just stop when you're drafting them. Killed mucho time on the buoy. I must have run into the same guy like 5 times and he wouldn't let me get around him. I sprinted to fast in the beginning but it was a short swim anyway so it doesn't matter.
What would you do differently?:

cheat and swim underneath the buoy!!! ;)
Transition 1
  • 02m
Comments:

I didn't have a tri top and didn't swim with my under armor on. It was impossible to get on wet. I must have wasted 30 seconds getting it on. I sat down inthe transition, don't know if this matters. Usually when I swim real hard I need sugar right out of the water or I get dizzy... gatordade saved me.
What would you do differently?:

Swam with the underarmor on... Then again, I'm so used to swimming with just a speedo or tri suit I think the drag from the underarmor would kill me. Need a tri top for cranberry.

Comments:

Really enjoyed the bike portion. Got overtaken by like 20 people. I though my biking was pretty good but I guess I need to work on it a bit more.
What would you do differently?:

nothing
Transition 2
  • 01m
Comments:

This one went by so fast I don't even really remember it, which is probably a good thing.
What would you do differently?:

nothing really, shoes out on the hill down and into the t2 would have been effiecient.
Run
  • 28m 6s
  • 3.2 miles
  • 08m 47s  min/mile
Comments:

Bad side cramp. terrible on hills, absolutely terrible. I walked at one point...yes I WALKED! I'm not ashamed. Bad runner. This one girl whose name I don't knwo really saved me the last mile. I would have likt to have thanked her more.
What would you do differently?:

I all out sprinted the last 200 yards and any pain I was feeling in my knees was multiplied by ten. BIG MISTAKE. I really need a running coach. I'm really afraid I may do damage to my knees.
Post race
Warm down:

walked around, chilled in the lake. I felt REALLY good.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

endurance.
