 Swim
Comments: I have never been a strong swimmer and the lack of open water practise this year showed! Sighting was off but I just kept swimming.  Transition 1
Comments: This was a long run. Took my time and kept my cool... was advised to get out of the water as unfrazzled as possible.  Bike
Comments: Wow! I love and hate this course at the same time. This was a good one... would usually be very unhappy with this time but given the lack of road training (still all indoors here) and the hills on this course I will call it a good start and keep working at chipping away at this this season. What would you do differently?: Need to become better at the technical aspects of racing... my inability to mount, dismount, corner and descend well showed here. Transition 2
Comments: Ran past my bag and had to double back... I did make a point of stopping for sunscreen on the way out... well worth my while seeing as how this pale Canadian girl was cooking!  Run
Comments: More hills! I went out way too slow and cautious. The heat and hills had me concerned but I should have hit this harder. I am capable of much more than this and finished feeling way too good. I did do a good job of staying cool and hydrated. No complaints there. The views were amazing... the course was amazing... the crowd support was fantastic. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: This was my first race of the season and seeing as how there is snow on the ground still at home 95% of the training has been indoors. Event comments: This race is phenomenal... the scenery, the people, the whole thing... amazing! Last updated: 2014-04-21 12:00 AM

We got out there on a shuttle. Trevor decided to stay back at T2 and wait there so this was my first time starting out alone.
Got the tires filled and nutrition set up. Watched the pros begin. Stuffed myself into my wetsuit as best as I could... and before I knew it it was my turn!
We did get 3mins in the water to get used to the cold water and get out to the buoys as this was a deep water start. I did the best I could with the limited time we had.
