 Swim
Comments: More open water practice especially sighting and navigation. Was suprised how far off course I ended up about 1/4 of the way through. Overall I felt strong but did have a moment of anxiety when I realized I was on the rocks but pulled it together for the last part of the swim and finished strong. What would you do differently?: More OWS! More Master classes  Transition 1
Comments: Overall pretty quick What would you do differently?: Bring towel to set stuff on  Bike
Comments: Oh - and AMEN for the Gotham Bike guys who stopped me at mile one to fill my tires as I didn't have time to do this myself before the race due to my handlebar cap emergency. They saved the day - I am forever a Gotham Bike customer! What would you do differently?: More bike practice and get on those clipless pedals -imagine how much better my time would have been w/ them! Transition 2
Comments: Ha - made up time by not having biking shoes here -helmet off, visor on, gel in, number on -a quick potty break and go! What would you do differently?: Will have to have agame plan from bike shoes next race!  Run
Comments: Really tough coming out of transition -started to think I might have to walk a oportion of the run, but gel kicked in around mile 2 and I was set for the rest of the race. Felt weker thatn expected but the bike kicked my red bike! My pace was much faster than expected w/ my sore hammy and all -woohoo! What would you do differently?: Take gel before getting off the bike so it kicks in sooner Post race
Warm down: Walked aound the post race activities and walked back to transition which really heped loosen up the legs! What limited your ability to perform faster: Just experience I think -it was my first tri after all Event comments: This was an amazing race, very well organized and attended. All participant I met were graciou encouraging and just great to be around. I love this sport, I love these people, I can't wait to race again next year! Last updated: 2006-11-10 12:00 AM

Woke up at the crack of stupid, got lat minute stuff ready, had breakfast -wheat free waffles and grapefruit w/ Heed. Family was taking picures and we headed down in a cab to the race site.
Well -unintended warm up run from transition to swim start due to missing cap on my handlebars. Some assisted stretching e/ massage folks in the corrals (nice)
