Swim
Comments: Horrible!! I hate salt water, I swallowed half of the Altantic Ocean!! What would you do differently?: Everything, I skinned my knee on the start, then got boxed in, rounded the first buoy well, then swam out to sea...I was wondering why there was absolutely NOBODY around me, I went so far off course...got back on course, and was pretty annoyed...swimming is my favorite, so I was bummed that it went so badly, never got into a real rhythm except when I was going off course (HAA!!) Transition 1
Comments: Had to run on this wooden pathway, was happy I didn't get splinters:) This transition was ok, I'm not the best at it and didn't expect to be What would you do differently?: Try not to shake so much when putting on my shoes and socks (I almost fell over), get bike shoes with velcro straps:) Bike
Comments: SOOOOOO HAPPY!!!!! Loving the new bike, I was absolutely THRILLED with my time, so so happy about this...huge smile on my face when I realized that I was going so fast!! What would you do differently?: Get bike clipless pedals, bike shoes...I'm thrilled with the bike itself though!! Transition 2
Comments: Should be fast since I was wearing running shoes on my bike... What would you do differently?: Forgot my shirt (with my race number on it) so had to go back for it...whoops!! Run
Comments: HOT HOT, and did I mention? HOT!! I ended up running with a guy who was going about my pace, it was too hot to worry about pace too much, just focusing on running to whole way, and I did!! What would you do differently?: Run faster, get in better shape...considering the weather, I did the best I could... Post race
Warm down: Drink water...drink more water...drink even more water...eat watermelon, eat an electrolyte... What limited your ability to perform faster: HOT weather!

Half a bagel, half a banana - running SO late because you have to go down 105, thats the only way to get to the race), and they were filming a movie, AHH!! I was freaking out a bit...
None, we had to park 1/2 mile away, and ride our bikes to the transition, run to get marked, and run to the beach, the first wave had already gone out, thank goodness we were in the last wave...
