 Swim
Comments: The swim went well enough and I am pleased with the effort. What would you do differently?: Nothing really. I need to work on sighting better and just overall work on better technique and speed.  Transition 1
Comments: I really need to work on these transition times. I should be faster. T1 really hurts my overall time. What would you do differently?: Not sure. Just need to have it more together I guess. Need to think more quickly. Maybe forget the socks for these sprint races. Or get shoes that only have one set of straps instead of the 3 sets i currently have.  Bike
Comments: A nice fast, fun ride with a couple of competive gals to make it interesting. Could have been faster with fresher set of legs. What would you do differently?: Not do an 85 mile bike ride up all the biggest freakin' hills in the state 4 days before a race : ). Transition 2
Comments: Again, a faster transition would be good, but this wasnt too bad. What would you do differently?: Nothing really—just move it!!  Run
Comments: My legs were really feeling fatiqued for this run. Had I been fresher, I could have done much better. Was really feeling the weeks activities right from the get go. I tried to settle in and find a happy place to glide through. My legs were tired and my breathing felt labored ( a sure sign of fatique). I got through it though with just a good steady slowish pace. Didnt walk at all and managed a strong finish. What would you do differently?: Take it easier the week before the race : ). Post race
Warm down: Met my TeamTrainingNE peops at the finish. So great to see them right there and so great to be there with them for this race. What limited your ability to perform faster: Too much this past week. Amazing that I was able to do as well as I did. Can't help but wonder how I might have done had I been fresher. This course was made for setting PRs. Event comments: You have to love the Danskin races. I love seeing women triumph at these races and their families there supporting them. Its all about love and support. Good stuff : ) Last updated: 2006-08-03 12:00 AM

Got up a five. Felt like I had slept for about 5 minutes. We had been at a family party (my mom's 70th the day before) and it was exhausting. Was hoping to wake up and not feel the fatique of the 85 mile bike ride from hell and the half mary I had already done this week.
No real warm up to speak of. It was a long process getting into the parking areas on Sandy Hook. Then had to get through a security checkpoint to get into the transition area. The swim and transition were both located on US Coast Guard grounds so security was tight in a chaotic and unorganized sort of way. Had about 10 min to set up transition. Inserted my bike between two newbies on the rack who had set up house keeping together. Reminded them that we all needed a space and that it was a transition area, not the living room.
