Pre-race routine:

Event warmup:

5k run. Hang out.

Good swim against the waves, but I lost my draft and some ground on the back with the waves... ODD BUT I think I will eventually be able to hang with the "big girls"

swim faster - DUH!

1st mile was slow - like 8:35. Then I picked it up sub 8 for the rest of the run. Felt good, but definatly LT for the last mile.

Nothing :) This was my fastest aquathon run yet, so I'm making progress!
