Comments:

Whew that water was nasty! Everyone coming out had this black gunk on them from the bottom. Think slimy chocolate pudding. Went way wide around the second bouy which probably cost me.
What would you do differently?:

Train more for endurance; I was spent!
Transition 1
  • 02m 4s
Comments:

Went methodically so I wouldn't forget anything.
What would you do differently?:

Not much; I ran from the water and Terri had helped me set up my stuff.

Harder than I thought. I have not practiced enough in areas where I can go fast for sustained periods. Was glad when it was over.
What would you do differently?:

Need to bike more and take spinning class!

Comments:

No biggie; had running shoes already on.
What would you do differently?:

Don't know
Run

  • 3 miles
  • 10m 29s  min/mile
Comments:

Ran purposely slow to save energy for end; rained when I was on my way back which felt great.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe run a little faster at the beginning.
Post race
Warm down:

Terri, Tom and Kyle met me at the end and ran me in; had the most delicious gatorade ever, walked around, showered off all the race gunk.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Um...lack of training? Started training for a tri on June 16th; just got bike around June 20th.

Event comments:

A really good race for my first Tri; small and not intimidating.
