 Swim
Comments: That was the most exciting part! Started in the back on the left, but still got swam into and did some swimming into! On the first leg out, I thought I was going slow, but breathing was labored and had to slow down and calm down. What would you do differently?: I was very happy with my time and pace. That time includes a pretty long run up to transition. My watch time for the swim was 17:30. I didn't run all the way to transition ( I was tired!), but I will run next time.  Transition 1
Comments: Wasn't really rushing. Was glad to be done with the swim and was just EXCITED!! What would you do differently?: Had to pee. That took 2 minutes. I need to make sure I pee RIGHT before the race. Put on my jersey in T1. I think I should get a tri top to save some time. Hard to put on a jersey over a wet body. Also, took my watch off to get the wetsuit off, then forgot to put it back on.  Bike
Comments: Very pleased with my time. When I train up here in the mountains, I can barely get 15 mph. I was close to 19 mph which was great for me! Everything I do up here is mountains, so I wasn't sure how I'd do on a semi flat course. What would you do differently?: I lost my only gel packet that I was planning on consuming before the run. Maybe take 2? Transition 2
Comments: Wasn't too bad. Had to put my watch back on. I put my race belt on upside down and had to re-do it. What would you do differently?: Know how to put my race belt on properly the first time.  Run
Comments: Happy with the pace. Got passed by a LOT of people! Had a small water bottle with me so I didn't have to stop at the aid stations. That's about the only place I passed people. What would you do differently?: Eat a gel beforehand. Post race
Warm down: Walked and stetched. Event comments: Had a great race! Looking forward to doing it again!! Last updated: 2007-01-01 12:00 AM

Woke up at 4:30. Had a peanut butter and jelly whole wheat bagle, 3/4 cup of coffee, water. Got the family up and drove to the race. Arrived a little after 6:00. (next time be EARLIER. Huge crowds already.)
Biked for about 10 minutes. Would have gone longer but was having issues with shifting. Took it to the Bicycle Village tent and they fixed me up in a jiffy. Ran about 1/2 mile. By this time it was 7:05 (my wave went off at 7:30). Had to pee but the lines at the porta potty were WAY too long. Put my wet suit on and swam about 10-12 minutes.
