 Swim
Comments: TERRIFYING! I almost raised my arm....3 times. Had to tell myself to SHUT UP when panic attacks ensued. I came to finish, and wimping out in the swim was not an option. I think swimming through pea soup was a little too unnerving. What would you do differently?: Practice open water swimming with no excuses. I might even join a Masters Program for additional help. I just thought I was a lost cause anyway, so what was the point.  Transition 1
Comments: I think this went really well. I am scared of bike shoes, so I save time on that. Tri laces were a must. I was very pleased with them. I love my bike so much. What would you do differently?: I forgot my gum...I need gum to do well, for whatever reason. I think I would put an energy drink on my bike instead of water. Perhaps two holders...one for water, one for energy.  Bike
Comments: Considering I was like the last person out of the water, I made up for things on the bike. It felt good, and I felt really accomplished after. What would you do differently?: Energy drink and water on the bike. Maybe get bike shoes? We shall see... I trained a lot on the bike, because I like it so much. Transition 2
Comments: This one was a blur. I was off my bike, grabbed some gum, and went. What would you do differently?: I don't know...  Run
Comments: Doubled over in pain from surgery issues. Not fun. I am irritated, because I know I could have done better during the run, but for that. Not making excuses, but I was very frustrated. What would you do differently?: Not have surgery before a race, if it can be helped. :-) Drink an energy drink on the bike, maybe that would help kick it into gear? Post race
Warm down: Walked around for a while. Drank a PowerAde. Very nice that that was available. What limited your ability to perform faster: Stupid, stupid lumpectomy. Oh well. Can't change it now. Will try to do better in the next race. Event comments: I LOVED IT! I can't wait for my next race! Last updated: 2007-07-29 12:00 AM

Got up at 4:00am. Ate a bar and banana, took a shower, and fretted and worried about my checklist until I left at 5:30. I think my routine ultimately consisted of going to the bathroom a MILLION times. Rode a bit on the bike. Took a short jog, stared at the lake, and stretched.
Completely forgot to start my watch, and click on my bike. Have no idea what my splits were. I know my bike was really fast, based on other's comments.
