Swim
Comments: Pretty good swim. Had a little trouble sighting the second bouy & started to slack off a little in the 2nd half of the swim - started to get passed by a few folks. All in all good swim. What would you do differently?: Maybe try to kick up the pace a little on the second half. Transition 1
Comments: Suit got stuck on heels but I was running hard out of transition & with the bike up the hill. Long run w/ barefeet down to the transition spot bruised my heel! What would you do differently?: Nothing Bike
Comments: Forgot my aerobottle so I was really parched for the whole bike & run. Had my carbpro & water all mixed and ready. It was nice to be racing up with the guys & I passed as many as passed me! Only got passed by 2 or 3 girls. All in all a great bike for me! What would you do differently?: Bring the stink'n aerobottle. Push a little harder, I was near LT but not above Transition 2
Comments: Decent speed in T2 What would you do differently?: nothing Run
Comments: Not my greatest run, I was struggling on the way out. Got passed by a 35 yr. old at the turn around & tried so hard to keep up but just couldn't do it. What would you do differently?: Hopefully by next year I will be doing a lot of speed work and can drop some signifigant time on my run. For this year this was as fast as I could have gone. Post race
Warm down: Walked around & cooled off. Couldn't eat anything but the apples & oranges b/c of my Celiac disease. I need to remember to bring food!! Helped tear down after the race. Felt great. What limited your ability to perform faster: Could have used my carbpro for a little more juice in the tank, but other than that nothing. Felt great & had fun. Next year I will worry about speed, this year I am focusing on the big one - IM Louisville! Event comments: Great race! Last updated: 2007-04-28 12:00 AM

Got up (so nice to wake up in my own bed before a race!!) and made breakfast - 1/2 c. grits & 3 egg whites - creature of habit. Got ready and headed out to the lake!
Rode my bike around a bit, spent more time looking for all the people I had trained for the race & worrying about them!!
