Comments:

Loved the little kiddie pool of water to rinse off the feet on the way out of the beach. this saved time in the transition area as my feet were already partially clean.

Comments:

This was my first race in a wetsuit and I had a little trouble getting it off. But overall was very happy with my transition given the wetsuit trouble.

Post race
Warm down:

walking back along the race course and stretching, stretching, stretching.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

decreased training the last several weeks. My swim was especially effected as I was not able to swim the last week or so and swiming is my weakest event.

Event comments:

I would do this race again. It was a nice small race.

My results as listed above were not from the official results as T1 and T2 were included in the bike and run times. I was lucky to have timed them myself. Also the results above were only for the women. The official results did not give both men and women together. There were 142 men plus an additional 21 Clydesdale/Athena participants. Of note, I would have won the Athena division had I been entered there instead of in age group. Hmmmmmmmmmmm, maybe next time.
