Pre-race routine:

Stayed at hotel- Had a power bar- some Gatorade (obviously not enough because I was hungry at the swim start -ugh) Got kids up and movin- got there pretty early wich was nice.

not here- my swim is a warm up

Ugh... I wonder why I practice I get there and just cant swim decent- Ilook around and it seems others are struggling too (which makes me feel a little better). It was really crowded- I maybe should have pulled to the side to try to get in a groove. I also ran in pretty far before starting the swim- my feet have little cuts all over them - I guess thats what I get for trying to get out of a little swimming!
What would you do differently?:

Just keep plowing through people- toughen up and more OWS!!!!
Transition 1
  • 01m 12s
Comments:

Was good- nothing really went wrong (for once) not that fast though.
What would you do differently?:

maybe learn to keep my shoes on the bike and strap them on while biking.

I felt like I was going faster then this- But passed alot of people- which is always fun:)
What would you do differently?:

Push harder.
Transition 2
  • 01m 14s
Comments:

Seemed fast- again had no problems in transition- guess Im getting a little better at this! Wish I would have had a gel or something out to eat- I really was hungry and could tell by how I felt. grabbed some gatorade on the way out.
What would you do differently?:

get some yanks

Comments:

I really was out of power- I know I can run faster then this- but I guess it turned out OK. My hamstrings were tight too. I dont mind being passed by guys- but hate being passed by other girls! :( Had a good sprint at the end- wish I would have started it a little sooner (I think I say this in every race report)
What would you do differently?:

eat more for breakfast... push harder
Post race
Warm down:

Found my kids and hubby- had some food

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Realy didnt have enough fuel today.

Event comments:

Was very well put on... I think the bike and run courses could have been a bit more challenging. Was very cool to hav Sarah Reinherst there!
