Swim
Comments: Tie for 13th as several swimmers swam at a time of 17:35, only whole laps counted What would you do differently?: Not much. I feel my endurance is pretty solid at my current pace, but I would like to build more speed in the future. Transition 1
Comments: Since I swam in only a swimsuit, I had to put on my tri shorts and opted to do it before the bike. This was a bit challenging as I was still wet from the pool and this slowed my time. What would you do differently?: Practice swimming in my swimsuit and tri shorts to see if this changes my swim pace. Bike
Comments: Disappointed in the bike time, though I knew I was not biking as fast as I am sure I could have. What would you do differently?: Push myself harder on the bike and not worry about saving it for the run. Definitely increase the amount of biking I do overall. Transition 2
Comments: Unsure of actual T2 time as it is added into the run, but felt quick as all I had to do was throw on a shirt, grab my race belt with my number and run out the door. Was towards the front of my wave in fastest out the door. What would you do differently?: Set up shirt so I could just putt it over my head, Run
Comments: Tie for 13th (one other person with same run time). Felt good on the run, went much faster than I thought I could do as I thought I was more of a 10-10:30 mi./mile pace runner. I think the competition brings it out. Very proud of myself for this run. What would you do differently?: Train for the run more, train at a faster pace. Post race
Warm down: Did a lap of walking around Green Lake with my husband. What limited your ability to perform faster: Not training enough, especially on the bike, and a combination of bike/run bricks. Event comments: Really enjoyable triathlon, great warmup and setup. Would certainly do this again. Last updated: 2014-01-15 12:00 AM

Woke up at 6:30 for my 10a.m. wave to be able to get there early and watch other waves start and transition to get a feel for the event. Had a bit of coffee, yogurt with banana, toast w/ peanut butter.
A bit of stretching, nothing else.
