 Swim
Comments: buoys visible-straight course, plenty of room at start..well monitored, carpeted exit ..my chip strap was coming loose..had to stop & stuff into wetsuit leg more than once- and I do not need any delays with my turtle swimming! What would you do differently?: actually be a swimmer  Transition 1
Comments: included in bike times What would you do differently?: bring a bucket to sit on for removing wetsuit & skip sox..take a gel  Bike
Comments: enjoyed this ride..my swim wave was last so I got to pass people- the drafting rules were strictly enforced -it was fun to be sure was really up to passing ..( especially those 2 guys with the fancy tri bikes heehee) What would you do differently?: maybe push a bit more Transition 2
Comments: fast t2  Run
Comments: nice run- variety, seeing other racers both bike 7 run, a drummer at the entry into woods- it was FUN! What would you do differently?: run here every day! Post race
Warm down: felt like could keeo going- just walked back out to course to cheer in some people..did a little stretching 7 eventually a massage (heavenly!) What limited your ability to perform faster: just taking it easy- don't want any exacerbation of injury if going to try to survive a 1/2 in 3 wks with insufficient training! Event comments: I had a great time at this race..this was a first time event at a wonderful venue with USAT officials there,excellent race directors,scenic & safe course well thought out. Chip timing,finish line photographer, an expo, aid station, live music & BBQ, massage- all the perks on an "intimate" scale..and the resort is a family run & family/group friendly place in an idyllic setting.I stuck around for the kids race which was great fun to watch..& took home a live pine tree as my age group prize-now that's unique!!! Fabulous first timer or early season sprint-a Bt takeover would be BLAST..Would definitely do this race again and recommend it to others. And yes, gave me a great excuse for a solo Happy Dance !!

Up at 5 to drive the 1/2 hr or so to the site..had a few bites of blueberries & yogurt w/ crunchies on top..cup o hazlenut & joss tunes..soaking up the green..the mountains ..the clear lake & woods..had rained day before- a sparkly clean early summer morning-!
just jogging to & from the transition area, rode the bike a minute or so to be sure brakes & gears ok..then just wandered about checking things out...
